:!: Your best little friend here......Lives around DEER HWY......Friday night I went into Austin and visited a co-worker......I left about 11:00pm, drinking water at this point....Went to Jack-in-the-Box....Ate major burger with fries and drank more water (believe it or not)....Left, rode 15 miles or so out the curvey, windy roads at the lake, stopped at a bar at about 1:30pm.......I then continued home..............Lots of those DEER EVERYWHERE.......Turned the second to the last corner on my way home and.............There were 2 DEER walking across the road in parrallel form.....Locked up me new brake system and still didn't stop til I hit the first one.......threw me back onto my passenger bucket, head looking through the fairing.....accelerator on (feet flowing out the back of bike at this point)........Saw the fence post and cedar tree, woke up with my left leg under the bike and didn't quite know where I was.....Thorny bushes all around me......Got help on the way.......had lost my glasses and my mind (I guess)...........Had to be pulled out of 3ft of thorn bushes with a chain.......I am very scratched up and alot of black and blue..........My bike has a few scratches and a dent in the tank from my knee.....Of course, right on top of my petcock.......My face shield was ripped from bottom to top on the left side of my face and the back of the helmet took the brunt of the bobwire fence........
Istopped to take a picture and cannot believe that I landed in such a corner that not everything was ripped to pieces.......
No...I was not hauling, getting on, you know what I mean........
All happens so fast, no matter how fast your going.........
I will always wear my helmet guys........Thanks for your support....
Love me always....

I know a guy who hit a deer at about 85 mph with his Buell and managed to stop in a straight line. The only thing holding the two halves of the deer together was some skin. He said he was drenched in blood and guts. He buggered up his knee and ankle, but he was basically ok. The Buell was a write-off. :?

My sympathies

Renda, from one deerslayer to another, you have my sympathies. I understand how it feels to hit one of those damn rats on hooves. I hate Bambi!

As for people who don't wear helmets, go ahead and be dumb. If I hadn't been wearing my full-face helmet, my handsome face would've been history.

Anyway, Renda, I'm glad you made it through well enough to write about it.

Yeah but she's got to clean them again now anyway. Deerskin isn't good in carbs. Clogs them up almost as bad as gator hide. Right Scotty?

Well Renda, It's good to know you're only beat up, bruised, scratched, sore, clothes ripped to shreds, and bike bent up.
Glad you're still with us. GS's are great bikes, but they arent worth a plugged nickel for deer hunting. Nick no longer uses one
for this purpose either.

At least in Australia we only have kangaroos, wombats (mobile bricks if you hit them!), and emus and cattle depending on where you live. GL1800s do have some uses in such cases!!
