absolutely gutted!
riding to work on tuesday, following a car, and a deer ran out in front of the car. we both braked, the deer made it, the car pulled away, and just as i was about to do the same the deer changed its mind and ran out in front of me
i hit it at about 35mph it was like hitting a wall. nothing broken, but plenty of bruises so my gear (a caberg v2r lid, rst leathers, gaerne boots) performed well - especially the lid i went down face first with no more damage than a fat lip
and to top it all, whilst in hospital afterwards, the police left my bike at the roadside and it looks like some thieving **** has stolen it!!!!
so i'm having a **** week, but i'll probably buy another kat with the insurance money; i've only had it a couple of months after riding big traillies and was really starting to gel with it
so a top piece of riding advice - wear good gear and dont hit a deer!!!!
