So tonight after our local bike night a few of us decided to go for a little jaunt over to the next town. As we are clipping about 80 the lead notices a deer dead smack in the middle of the lane, it jumps towards him and then does a airel 180 turn and hits his bike. I have to give this guy credit as he didn't panic and maintained control of the bike and kinda just swerved a hair. Deer is dead, bike only has a bent frame slider and the rear brake component is a little loose. Has to be THE MOST freakiest thing I have seen!

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity. -

Around here, deer are like mosquitos. I avoid night riding at as well. I've hit one deer on my bike, and have totalled about 3 cars due to them.Comment

I nailed a deer once.
Waking up next to it was the most awkward part."We are not all beautiful unique flowers. Some of us have bad ideas and bad taste and the things we do come out awful, no matter how much work we put in."Comment

I don't ride fast at night because of deer in my area, but I do go to bike nights and such. I don't ride at night unless I have a reason, I do in the day though.

I just ride slower.... i was told by an Italian driving instructor/ test driver that most accidents are caused by going to fast some how or another.Please, Just go home, relax, and have a think or two... hell... have as many as you can handle! It'll do all of us some good.
