i was doing about 55 behind my buddy's cruiser on the way home and the deer decided right then she needed to cross the road.... right there between those 2 motorcycles. didnt see it until it crossed the white line and it was going pretty fast. came off the gas and was starting to aim for where the deer USED TO BE but there wasnt enough room. caught her right in front of the back legs.
i landed in the middle of the road. bike went further. i forced myself to roll to the side of the road. havent seen my bike, but my buddy said my new saddlebags look fine. tailpipe and frame sliders saved it. gonna have him take off all my goodies for me and save em for my next fz8.
ATGATT. tore some life out of my leather jacket, bruises and small rashes, but other than bruised ribs (probably cracked - it hurts to sneeze/breathe deep/laugh) and a sore shoulder i am whole.
i went about 20 feet past the deer, and the bike went 30 feet past me
love my frame sliders!
stock can slider:
a little deer:
a little cockeyed:
and a little headrash...
Me lying on the ground:
Deer on the side of the road (bad parts blurred out)
Deer on the side of the road GROSS PICTURE DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE GUTS!!!
