How lucky was that?

A group of hungry riders in the middle of nowhere. No shops or cafes around and all of a sudden a fresh lump of meat appears.

Sounds like BBQ on the side of the road time to me!

If you're going to run over a deer, make sure it's a little one. Just over a year ago I ran over fawn just north of Manchester California. Two-up on the FJR at the time were we. Fortunately for us the poor little bugger was mostly skin and bones. I felt sad for his mum.

That deer really wanted to cross the road. I guess we'll never know why now.

It's very common in Mrka to collid with deer, especially at dusk or dawn.
One of the forums I frequent had a story of a guy who hit a grizzly bear. :shit:
Just a glancing blow, and the bear ambled off, but the bike had some minor cosmetic damage, and clumps of bear fur, skin and blood on one side.

That was probably on our trip last year. Our tour leader on his Road King clipped a young grizzly between Lillooet and Kamloops in Canada. His bike was actually more banged up then it appeared at first. The bear blood and fur caught up on his RHS pannier was sobering. God knows what happened to the bear!

Nicely held together... and very lucky that there was no oncoming traffic.

There's a video out there of a rabbit getting hit by a touring car doing over 200 km/h - that's pretty impressive!

Lucky rider, I used to live in Scotland & have been savaged by deer 3 times, only one managed to knock me off though. The buggers are quick & I never managed to get a feed. I was riding between snow drifts when the deer overtook me & shoulder charged me off my XT, no damage done fortunately. Tasty Vermin.

Holy shit! You wouldn't want to be knocked of with a grizzly that suffered from road rage. Chances are, you'd be the one suffering from it :P

Haha, why the hell would they do that?!

oh my god that deer got owned! haha

My question is why didnt someone hack off some steaks or a hind leg if they was not too bruised??? Waste no want not, especially with the economic sitinumination, and more to the point, the cost of farmed venison (sorry cant remember the correct name for it).

When their is heavy snow, the plough can only open up a single track & leaves high snow banks. The deer must have jumped into the road & took umbrage with my thumper spoiling the evening calm. Nearly hit a badger once too in similar circumstances, they are not quite as quick but can give you a vicious nibbling. I put up with Scottish winters for 9 years before I bought a car. I suffered from a nasty blend of youth & poverty. I'm no longer a youth.

I've seen large cars destroyed by deer hits.

If this guy was going a few Ks slower he may have been in big trouble.

Lucky that the bike's frame took the shock rather than the rider's body.
