Glad to hear you didn't go down, and be thankful it wasn't a huge buck!
Living up in MN and WI, I was always careful riding through the country at night, and avoided some routes home due to the high deer population and stuff. Had a few close calls, never on the bike, just in the cage.
Didn't hit my first deer till I was down here in Bama. Kinda ironic to me at least. Messed up the bumper on the F-350 pretty good. My cousin wanted to throw it in the back of the repo truck, but I told him no-way!Kan-O-Gixxer!

I read the title of this thread and just cringed. You are one lucky sombeetch! Very glad to hear that it was just a severe pucker moment and not an explosion of fur, bones and bodywork.
Awesome job keeping the SR's under control and keeping it up. More than anything though I'm just glad you are OK.

If it makes you feel any better, I almost hit hit a turkey yesterday, the bastard like almost flew into me and almost shat myself. Then about 5 miles later, a family of squirels i guess like ran into the road and almost ran over one.
I think the animals arent aware that we are on the roads yet"What curse? You just sucked for 86 years!"

Originally posted by freight dogWith your luck lately Matt, I feared the worst. I am very happy it turned out ok! I fear deer more than drunk drivers.
I will gladly take my chances with a 100-200lb deer over a ton plus chunk of
of rolling metal.
And Matt....really really glad nothing serious came out of it. Great job at coming through it unscathed.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

On the one hand I don't know anyone who uses them that has hit a deer..
Other hand I know of only one person who has hit a deer..
(niether on motorcycles..)
Glad you are well Matt..
Now that you have that over with chances are you will never hit (or nearly) another one..

Whew! You musta had a horse shoe stuck somewhere! Really glad that you, the Kat and Bambi all made out ok. Those things are terrifying on a bike, especially at night. Up here the number of deer is criminal. Ya, what's the deal with those deer whistle thingies, do they work or not? Generally I've heard things like "since I put them on I haven't seen any deer" not really scientific proof. How do you know if you've got em mounted in the right place? You can't hear the bloody things! Most will probably try to hide them under the front somewhere vs on the mirrors or fairing, but will they get the right airflow there? I also really really hate turtles when I'm on the bike (not the chocolate ones)
