this is a good 'warning' post.

deer are v. quick and unpredictable.....see one...sloooooow down to a crawl.

thx 4 posting

 

Glad you are still here and able to post about it and thanks for posting it. It reminds all of us to keep our eyes open. Also curious as to the gear you were wearing. Leathers (jacket, gloves), novelty helmet, etc... ?

 

Ouch. Glad you're alright.

 

i had that happen back in november and I Won. the deer did the same. i saw him and instead of slowing down i grit my teeth and opened the throttle. The deers mouth hit my leg and it caused the deer to spin around and miss the bike. yep it hurt but i knew if i was going down i was going to take the deer with me.

 

That really sux!!! Glad you are ok.

 

For those of you unfortunate enough to hit a deer on your bike, what's the best way to go about it? Serious question here.

If impact is imminent, should you grab some brake and try to minimize the force of the impact? Or should you throttle up and try to power through the animal?

 

holy deer ****!!!

 

I throttle up and it worked 2 times. I hit a coyote back in 83 and cut it in half. Only animal I wont try is a cow. they are so stupid they will hit you even if you stop.

 

Holy s**t dude !!! Glad you are able to write about it. Ive been in a car and hit a deer back in Michigan, cant even imagine on a bike.

 

Glad you made it tho
