Cruisin Blue Ridge Parkway in VA, speed limit is 45, doing 50 watching a Beemer and a Concours tailing me, I took my eyes of the ball and only saw I guess this 90lb deer when he was 10ft away. Came out of the forest and hit us on the left side, it happened so fast, all I can remember is holding on, kept the bike up. Wifey riding as passenger the footpegs seem to have done most of the work, we both thought our left legs were broken, but lucky, only badly bruised. Deer got killed, guts over the bottom of my tail bag.

Can't believe how lucky we were, bruised left legs and I have a sore wrist, the only thing wrong with the bike is a bent horn, missing left indicator light and bent licence plate.

The two cruisers stopped and helped, both were from Canada.

 

Thank God you're both OK. There was a time when I really liked deer...that was some time ago.

 

damn dude, glad you and your wife are alright.

 

what a close call!!! thank goodness yall didn't crash.

 

Man you are one lucky SOB

 

Congrats on holding it together.

 

I am very impressed that you kept the bike up. God must have been with you. I am glad your ok.

 

WOW.... I'm glad you guys are ok. That is always on my mind when cruising at night on the side roads or freeway.

 

I'm glad you came out of it ok. Surprised you kept it up.

Even happier that it was fellow Canadians that came to help you. 8)
