Thank you Lord_Galva for posting.. glad to see your enthusiasim hasn't shrank since the last 100 yards of "rough mileage".

love those 968's, a friend of mine wants one more than anything.

My friends remember me splitting a herd of deer at 140+ on my Triumph Dayonta 1200 motorcycle.

Apparently they were screaming on the radio and I didn't hear them. IT was Deer, deer, Fraggle, Deer Deer.

I'm thinking cute blonde in a 951. Of course I'm an incurable romantic.

Nah. I never street race. Too dangerous.
Autocrosses and Highway on-ramps is where I get my jollies.

That could've gone very bad for you.

A guy I used to work with quit riding after losing two friends to one deer. He was trying to catch up to them (they had faster bikes) so he was first on the scene. It took him a long time to talk about it.

Remember, everybody, the rule for deer vs car* is:

BOTH FEET IN ARMS STRAIGHT.

Go full brake and clutch in, do not swerve.

*On a bike, you're probably better off trying to miss the damn thing.

We Michiganders trade the title of "most car-deer accidents" back and forth with Jersey every year.

There's a stretch on road I travel that has a long way of open fields, then a little uphill section with a treeline on both sides. There's currently 4 little roadside memorial crosses on this short stretch, all from people going into the trees to miss the stupid deer. F*ck that, you're in a metal box. You have a much higher chance of survival from hitting a soft moveable deer than a hard immoveable tree.

Fraggle,

Maybe you thought they said something along the lines of spitting a case of beer and were speeding up?

It's amazing what a deer can do to a vehicle. My boss hit one last week (it ran in front of his pick up). $3,000 damage to the Ford F150. He trailed the deer in the snow for over a mile and it was fine. The rut is on and the buck even stopped to "service" a doe. So he gave up on "putting it out of it's misery" and it was obvious Bambi's daddy was still doing his thing.

Hard to believe the deer survived after seeing the fender, headlight, and hood messed up so bad.

Something about physics I guess. Or this deer was as lucky as Lord_Galva.

A friend of mine split one at ~130mph on a GSXR750. Broke a lot of bones in his arms but he didn't go down. He now has a heck of a time going through airports... I'm glad that day didn't end like that for me!
