Hey Marc, just for the record here, so sorry to hear this. I'm glad you're well enough to start talking about it. I was a lil flipped out when I first got the call, and you couldn't talk to me yourself. Let me know what I can do to help you out man! And get your ass better soon!!! :2vrolijk_21:

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
Wow, sorry about the deer accident, Headpan62.  Glad you survived, although I'm sorry for your pain now.  I hope you have a full recovery, including wanting to continue to ride.  You probably will, you've obviously got it in your blood to have the 62 Pan.  Sure you want to see it right now?  I've always regretted selling my '47 knuck.  I lost a long time riding buddy the same way you got hurt....afternoon and a deer nailed him w/o any warning right out of the woods into him.  And just a couple of days ago I was returning from a ride with a couple of buddies and a large doe jumped completely over NiteAl as he rode in front of me......he said he never saw the deer until it jumped him.  Hunting them is not the answer here as very few take any for just meat.....only looking for trophys/horns.  They're not the ones that are killing and maiming our riders.  They've relaxed the hunting here enough if enough would take them for meat it might help.  I've tried all the deer whistles and still have my doubts as to whether or not they work.  Hope you have a speedy recovery/healing process.  :2vrolijk_21: spyder

Couple years back, a buddy let me take his bike out. Deer came at me from nowhere. Although we just missed, I can still hear her hooves clacking on the pavement trying to get by. Shook me so bad, I waited another two years to get my Springer. It's one thing I really worry about cause as you tell us it's out of nowhere.

Get better. A prayer of thanksgiving is order that it wasn't worse.

Headpan,

Glad to hear you're okay. Sounds very similar to what happened to a friend of mine not too far back. I created a thread about it at the time called "Good friend goes down,...hits deer." Same thing, mid afternoon deer just jumps out of nowhere. He doesn't remember a thing and no one saw the deer until it collided with the bike.

Stay safe everyone.

I know of 3 riders that went down this week with deer strikes, fortunately all survived (riders)

One hurled over the bike kicked out the speedometer and cleaned the rider right off his seat[.
