a1bummer Posted June 19, 2012 #1 Posted June 19, 2012 Wow, how many people get to tell that tale? I've only hit a cat quite a few years ago and thought I was fortunate to have not lost it. There is some foul language in the video, so use your own discretion. Bill
SilvrT Posted June 19, 2012 #2 Posted June 19, 2012 It would seem the faster you're going, the better your chances. I've always heard (and read) that if you know you're going to hit a deer, don't brake or swerve ... Thing is tho, by the time it takes for one to realize you're going to hit a deer, you've probably already hit it! Good vid!
Brake Pad Posted June 19, 2012 #3 Posted June 19, 2012 I got hit the same way on the goldwing, but the shoulder I went off of, had a drain ditch on it. the bike stopped upright, with the saddle bags, hung up on the sides of the ditch
Black Owl Posted June 19, 2012 #4 Posted June 19, 2012 Glad to see it slowed everyone down. Also, did you notice that he had his temp tag in the back pack where he was stuffing the broken parts?????
tomephil Posted June 19, 2012 #5 Posted June 19, 2012 Wow! Yes, it looks like it made the rest slow down a bit.
Flyinfool Posted June 19, 2012 #6 Posted June 19, 2012 But did they slow down because of the deer, or just because the guy that hit the deer said he was going to go slow because he had no front brakes.
ragtop69gs Posted June 19, 2012 #7 Posted June 19, 2012 That looked alot like the way I hit one in Montana only I was doing 20mph, friggin deer ran off with 2 of my light visors stuck in it's side
halfwitt Posted June 19, 2012 #8 Posted June 19, 2012 Wow. I wonder why they had to "get going before the cops get here"?
Dano Posted June 19, 2012 #9 Posted June 19, 2012 Huh, had to replace my bike, but the 8 point buck lost his life!! But I was nice a gave him a bit of a ride (75') down the road At 45-50 mph.......
