Deer Slamming

[onlyonmonday]

Considering I slammed into a broadsided deer, I find it important to say how astonished on the extremely low amount of damage...
Yes it's true... There is a small amount of rash on the edge of the deer dam, crap on the radiator, and when it finally fell over the highway peg spun around and popped an airvent in left case...
People that have seen the damage are not believing I even hit a four leg...
I am SO GLAD I ride big bikes and with deer slamming equipment...
What are your thoughts of what I said ? ?

[misft]

WOW!!! That's all the damage you have? I smacked a deer once and left $3500 worth of plastic scattered on the road. And one dead critter.

Oh its dead on impact... I was going about 40 , maybe 45...
1985 Kawasaki Voyager ZN 1300
Is there anyone that can do some shopping for me ? ?
I am about 12 miles east of Tomah, Wisconsin...
I have small amount of rash on left hand, bruised ribs, and small fracture on right knee...

Be sure and say a few "Thank Ya Lord's" that you're OK!!! I'll add one to the list!!!!

My three boys where with and just two received rash on there pads...
Are there ANY deer stories ? ?
Are there any shoppers that can do some for me ? ?

I am very glad to hear that is all the damage that occured to you, and the bike Thank You Lord I almost took out a 12 point buck with a heavy truck Saturday,but damage would have been mostly to the deer.

Like I said, my three boys, two of them had damage but are walking much better than me...
Trust me when I say, hitting one with a truck is different than a bike...

I cannot imagine hitting a deer of ANY size on a bike. I hit 3 deer while driving my wife's Ford and the insurance company totaled the car.....

50 or so years ago, while riding a bike, I straight legged an attacking dog (Never do that again!) and it almost totaled ME!

You are indeed lucky....

I hit an 8 point buck that jumped out onto the road broadside a few years ago at 70 MPH. Me and my 1200 didn't fare out so well but I'm alive so I consider myself lucky and feel I was being looked out for from above. Bike was totaled. I rebuilt the bike and I was rebuilt by the doctors.

The two that got injured are walking very well...
Wish I was...
There pads are so repaired it is remarkable...
What the hell are they made of does anyone no...
The vet said they are going to heel fast but im confused...
