Wife and I were just coming home from dinner and a deer jumped out from a downward wooded bank to our left. Hopped a guard rail and jumped right out in front of us.

Hit it broadside straight on at least doing 40 mph. Thing was no fawn had to weigh 200lbs.

I slowed the bike to a stop afterward we got it towed. Both us feel very sore right now.

 

Glad yall are ok. Scary stuff there.

 

Hit one a couple years ago on my '03 FXDL and crunched the rear fender, put four or five small dents in the tank and a half inch crack in the lower triple tree along with some very light scratches here and there and my insurance totaled it.

I ended up buying it back as the insurance company was very generous in our negotiations and bought me an '07.

Good luck with your insurance company.

Hope you come out ok.

 

Glad you were able to walk away from it. A friend of mine was coming up out of California back in '11 and he hit a deer but the deer won, it was a sad day for many.

 

Glad to hear you are alright, too bad about your bike. Hope you get her fixed soon.

 

Wow. That's crazy.

 

Must scared the **** out of ya. Glad you & the wife are ok and a gold star for not dropping the bike, nicely done

 

Having nearly experienced the same many times I am always amazed. Deer are so crafty and elusive while hunting them but put them near a road and all bets are off. Anyway, glad y'all are okay (I presume).

 

I'm glad you are ok. I hit a fawn a few years ago and feel very fortunate I didn't go down. The only damage done was both pinch bolts on the forks snapped.

 

Glad your'e ok. Bikes can be fixed or replaced!
