Deer hits bike at 85mph - Page 2

I can't see the video right now, but I'm sure its pretty crazy...

My mom and her boyfriend were at Yellowstone Park and they hit a deer going 50.
His bike was completely totalled but he was fine, and my mom broke her ankle because she was wearing sneakers...
Its insane how lucky people are...

A local woman was killed while riding on the back of her husbands harley two weeks ago on the parkway after he hit a deer and threw her off.

Head injuries sustained from a beanie type helmet

GSXRs are by far the best bike to be on if you hit a deer.

The thing is, it's not that amazing really. If you do the math, from a physics stand point, if the rider does not panic and basically does nothing, he is almost certain to stay upright. In fact, the faster you are going, the more likely you are you to NOT hit the ground.

I can't find the video anymore, but this guy who used to ride with us hit one some years back.
His video was one of the first out there (before the YouTube boom) and was shot from a fairing-mounted camera.
I forget if he managed not to wreck, but he definitely did survive and enjoyed a small amount of online celebrity time for it.

Hey Troy... if I had ever hit a deer with my TLR, could I have labeled it a "1 Liter Buck Eater"?

I can't believe he kept it up. Wow!

Glad it all turned out OK-ish

I wondered the same thing when I read the title.

Seen a buddy get his rear tire clipped by a deer who ran along side of us on the other side of a fence of a golf coarse. Bambi decided he wanted over and jumped right at my buddy, and just like Bambi on ice went splat on the asphalt clipping my buddies rear tire. He managed to stay up. His bike was a critter getter though, every ride it was birds, turkeys, bunnies, deer coming after him. Think he had deer whistles on that bike backwards.

Bow season opens this Saturday in VA I hope to reduce their numbers this yr.
