3 weeks ago at 4pm on a sunny day a buck jumped right infront of me. I remember nothing. cracked skull and temple, blown ear drum, and broken collar bone, and plenty of rash. Ate me up through my leathers.Had full gear on. I am always looking too, I had no reaction time I guess.Been in Yellowstone in heards of Bufflo and elk,cross country every year, and get taken out in the middle of the afternoon by 1 deer out for a stroll across rt. 29 near Phillipsburg.Just glad no-one was on the back with me. My glide is beat up , she slid a good 40 ft. down the road. Crash bars might had saved her.Waiting to see what ins. says. Be safe!..headpan

What a chit deal! 

Glad you are around to tell the story!

Get well soon.

Deer scare me more than anything else on the road. Sorry about the crash and hope you mend soon. Glad you're alive to tell us about it.

Ditto that.     Get well quickly!

Dang... during daylight.  Sorry about your mishap.

I try to avoid riding after sunset around here (Oklahoma) because of the deer grazing along side the road.  Occasionally see them cross during the daylight hours too.

Deer are seriously stupid!

Hope you heal quick and I hope everything works out well with the scooter

Wow - hope all heals quickly.

I missed a deer by about 6-8 inches Monday morning early, same thing - right in front of me, no time to react.  This was like 500 yards from my house, had just got up to about 30 and was in 2nd gear on my KLR, it was so close I could see individual hairs and heard its hair moving and its hooves hitting the road.

Hope you get the bike squared away!!

Headpan62,

 So sorry to hear about your critter induced accident...it doesn't matter how good your reaction time is, these things can and do happen. I pray you heal fast, and that insurance takes care of you and your wheels! Best of luck!

Your lucky you're able to tell uf this ordeal. 3 weeks ago a couple on a Wing hit a deer up here. Both didn't make it. Hope for a full speedy recovery. THE MUFFMAN

In 2004 I hit a deer on Interstate 90 at 80 mph (cruise control on) on my o/b SEEG.  Broken wrist, broken thumb, two fingers, cracked sternum, broken ribs, seperated shoulder, bruised lungs.  Full Gear, but No helmet and not a scratch on my head - tumbled 180 feet...  God Bless, huh?

I am glad are not injured any worse then you are.  Heal quickly and fully!

The rotten forest rats need to wheedled back onto the endagered species list.

I'm all for a longer hunting season and more deer tags here in Ohio to thin them out.

[Talon]

Hope you ok, sounds tough! Not much you can do about wildlife, you can't watch for them all the time, they come out of no where. Hope you better soon!

[BalDeagle]

Bad news Headpan. Glad to hear that you made it, even though you are beaten up.

I was ever watchful for Santa's Slaves during our recent 8,000 mile trip round your great country, but I guess when they just pile straight into you there ain't nothing you can do.

Get well soon.
