    My feeling exactly. I’m just grateful I walked away from that.

    I was quite prepare to stomp that deer a new ###-hole once I got up and got my bearings for bending my bike, but it was already dead. :mad:

    I was fine, a little sore the next day. The deer bought it. The bike had about $5000 worth of damage.

    You hit a deer solidly enough to kill it while you were on a motorcycle, and could still stand up afterward? You are either a #### good rider, or a #### lucky one.

    I’d say lucky. I didn’t go over the handlebars or anything like that. It was more of a laydown on the right side and sliding about 50 feet. My triple tree caught it in the face.

    The fact that I was only going about 35 also helped.

    That's pretty much exactly what happened to me.

    If you had a single pieces windshield it probably would have come all the way through.

    "Hoot and run" :D

    I had one commit owlicide right in front of my face a couple years ago. I had to drive about twenty miles to the next truck stop to spend an entire 30 scraping and scrubbing the guts off.
