It was pretty impressive that his bike could take a front end hit like that and he still stayed upright. My dad hit a deer once on his KZ900, and neither the deer nor my dad fared as well. Dad had to get his driver's license photo taken the next day, and he looked like he went over Niagara Falls in a paper sack.

I do believe it was a car and not a bike, you can see the reflection of the dash vents on the windshield...................RCinNC said:

I looked at the video again and now I can see the reflection at the bottom of the screen (I didn't catch that the first time; my video player controls kind of obscured it). Now I'm less impressed LOL.

Better yet, the video at the top even says CRUISER, pretty sure they didn't mean a Harley either.

Definitely my bad. Just wasn't paying attention.

Friend who showed it to me said it was a bike so I didn't pay much attention to the vehicle. My mistake.

The Deer knows it's close to Christmas try outs, practicing flying techniques.
I fear Deer's more than teenagers texting while driving sometimes.. ???
Elk are almost as bad but at least they just stand in the middle of the road or keep moving in the same direction they were going.

They must be recruiting, but I hear Rudolf can be a bit of a stickler......Ramseybella said:

The description of your dad going over Niagra makes up for it.RCinNC said:

LOL, thanks Shrek. My words don't do it justice...he looked rough. Wish I still had his driver's license from that time period.shrekonwheels said:

In about 650,000 miles I have killed 5 deer with motorcycles, the last one was last June 14th, 70 mph, the bike was a total wreck, happened at night and there was a car right behind me that saw it happen, they stopped traffic or I probably would have got run over, ambulance hauled me away, spent 2 days in hospital, that was eight months ago I've mostly recovered except for my left hand is still messed up but I am able to ride, will be heading for Alaska may 28th.

I'm not a hunter, but if five different deer had tried to kill me over my riding career, I think I'd start to take it personal. I'd be in the woods every November with a 30-.06, looking for some payback
Got to disagree with you there Bryn!!!
I see deer all the time on UK roads (ride at night a fair bit). Even seen them on the M4, M40.
Sadly about 18 months ago I hit one at about 60mph and it wasnt nice. Lucky to still be here.

cycledude, 5 deer, wow... I would be afraid to leave the drive way.... and I hear them Wisconsin deer are big deer... a whitetail deer here may go 150 lbs, must be like hitting a cow in Wisconsin....

When I hit the first one I thought great I didn't even get hurt and will probably never hit another one ! Boy was I wrong ! 3 were at night and 2 were in broad daylight, yes deer up here are quite a bit bigger than deer in Texas but deer and motorcycles are bad news everywhereMadhatter said:
