Yes, I have it a squirrel or two. A chicken. There was bird that flew into my headlight....it was stuck innetween the lens and the housing. Does it count...not really ran over? I bumped a human but again did not run over.

I was going slowly, and a dog ran into the front wheel of my motorcycle. I dumped it and the people who owned the dog ran out to make sure the dog was OK. They offered me nothing, didn't offer to pay for damages or even to see if I was injured. Now THAT'S a dog lover.
I've run over toads and frogs. They're all over the road when it rains and I'd rather not be swerving to avoid them in those conditions. Sorry little guys. There was one time I might have hit a possum, I swerved to avoid it but I almost got hit by a car coming in the opposite direction so I swerved back towards the possum and just hope he booked it when he had the chance.
I even have a bird on my list. I was about 15 years old and riding my bicycle speeding down the road when a flock of birds swooped low into my path. Almost all of them made it past me with no problem, but one lone diver went through the spokes of my rear tire and exploded into a poof of feathers. I stopped, looked back and saw its lifeless body splayed out all over the place. ~

That reminds me of a trip through New Mexico one night. When birds see a headlight, they fly down to investigate, passing about a foot or so above it. On a motorcycle that happens to be exactly face height. I was wearing helmet and faceplate, but even so it took a few days to get my glasses bent back into shape.
The next morning a sleepybug drifted across my vision and I had a moment of panic because it looked like a flying snake and I thought I was going to get hit in the face again.
