dingy Posted August 2, 2013 #1 Posted August 2, 2013 Below are some still shots from a video that Ragtop69gs took using a gopro camera mounted to his RSV. Eusa1 is leading group, followed by his wife Lucy II. This is about a minute and half into ride after pulling out of parking lot Tuesday morning. I will get video posted, I need to get some software to clip it to just this segment.

bendtdj Posted August 2, 2013 #2 Posted August 2, 2013 HOLY MOLEY!!! That is closer than I want to be to a deer. Glad everybody is O.K. Stay safe, Dave
dacheedah Posted August 2, 2013 #3 Posted August 2, 2013 I watched it in real time, happends sooo fast that by the time you can react to it it's done.
N3FOL Posted August 2, 2013 #4 Posted August 2, 2013 This shows us there is very little reaction time whenever a deer appears in front of us while riding. Have fun and be careful out there.
soupman1100 Posted August 2, 2013 #6 Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) I was a couple bikes behind Ragtop on the left. I saw that deer on the left when it tried to run across the first time and then got scared and then ran back ino the ditch on the left. I was watching out hoping it wouldn't come out of the ditch... and then it just bolted out across the road. Reaction time was nearly zero... I hate deer!!!!! Soup's on!

IH Truck Guy Posted August 2, 2013 #7 Posted August 2, 2013 Cherie,that was a great job of driving and keeping it all together.. I would be honored to ride b***h behind you anytime,and I would like it.
tomephil Posted August 2, 2013 #8 Posted August 2, 2013 Yes, We were behind Jay also. It happened fast. Hope you can get the video up. Tom
Squidley Posted August 2, 2013 #9 Posted August 2, 2013 I have had that happen in the dark one morning with 3 of them while I was going to work when we lived in Michigan. Like mentioned, happens so fast you can't hardly react. Definitely a butt pucker moment, glad it was a good miss for y'all
Lucy 2 Posted August 3, 2013 #10 Posted August 3, 2013 Cherie,that was a great job of driving and keeping it all together.. I would be honored to ride b***h behind you anytime,and I would like it. That would be fabulous IH but you will have to talk to the bike hopper....she may not want to give up her seat.
IH Truck Guy Posted August 3, 2013 #11 Posted August 3, 2013 That would be fabulous IH but you will have to talk to the bike hopper....she may not want to give up her seat. She gave me the OK,but said something about having to wear a pink shirt.
awsmsrv Posted August 3, 2013 #12 Posted August 3, 2013 She gave me the OK,but said something about having to wear a pink shirt. That beats a pink skirt.
93 venture Posted August 3, 2013 #13 Posted August 3, 2013 She gave me the OK,but said something about having to wear a pink shirt. You would look great in pink:shock3::shock3:
chris fulgenzi Posted August 3, 2013 #14 Posted August 3, 2013 now that's..................FAST FOOD................ great news your ok...
spear Posted August 3, 2013 #15 Posted August 3, 2013 Permit me to ask - what would happen to the couple on bike #3 if they got hit by the deer and came unstuck. Are they dressed for the slide, or merely dressed for the ride? A good set of leathers will beat a cotton shirt anytime when it meets the blacktop. Just my 2c worth.
IH Truck Guy Posted August 3, 2013 #16 Posted August 3, 2013 That beats a pink skirt. Ya,I know right,cuz everyone knows I sure don't have the legs to wear a skirt.. You would look great in pink:shock3::shock3: Hey buddy,don't you know it. I already own 4 pink shirts. That's what happens when Shari makes me do the laundry. :crackup:
Flyinfool Posted August 3, 2013 #17 Posted August 3, 2013 Ya,I know right,cuz everyone knows I sure don't have the legs to wear a skirt.. Hey buddy,don't you know it. I already own 4 pink shirts. That's what happens when Shari makes me do the laundry. :crackup: But did she ever make you do it again after that????
IH Truck Guy Posted August 3, 2013 #18 Posted August 3, 2013 But did she ever make you do it again after that???? Yep,until I washed and dried one of her cashmere sweaters and shrunk it so bad,it looked like it would fit a barbie doll. :yikes: I was then relieved of all laundry duties...
Long Tall Posted August 3, 2013 #19 Posted August 3, 2013 Long Tall Here: WOW.....I watched it in the ravine just before it crossed the road. What you CANT'T HEAR in the pic is me riding my AIR HORN..... From my view point just left of Lucy...It was REAL CLOSE!
dacheedah Posted August 4, 2013 #21 Posted August 4, 2013 What kind of camera was that, Go pro or something else??
dingy Posted August 4, 2013 Author #22 Posted August 4, 2013 What kind of camera was that, Go pro or something else?? Ragtop said it was a gopro. I have a video oriented coworker that I will try to entice to edit video down to a manageable size Monday. Fairly sure I can get this done as we work together ao a lot of projects. It is 1.3 gigabyte as it is now. It is about 10 minutes in length. Incident occours at about a minute forty seconds into video. Gary
eusa1 Posted October 13, 2014 #23 Posted October 13, 2014 Cherie,that was a great job of driving and keeping it all together.. I would be honored to ride b***h behind you anytime,and I would like it. and so it happens at leaf looker v 2014
IH Truck Guy Posted October 13, 2014 #24 Posted October 13, 2014 Took ya long enough to post those... You must be slipping. Ya,sometimes I talk too much. But I must say,we look fabulous.......
