I hit a buck (had 2+ in. antlers) on my 04 GSXR 1000, which is the best looking year, on June 28, 2009.
I did not crash, but the bike was totaled. It literally jumped right in front of me (about 10 feet at most) and I had no time to react! While editing this vid, the deer was only on cam for 6 frames which is 6/30 or 1/5 of a sec!
I think the momentum from accelerating out of the corner is what saved me, along with the fact that I hit it while it was still in mid-air. There were many factors that kept me on 2 wheels and I can't say whether I was lucky because I didn't die or unlucky it even happened.
Not only did I not crash, but there was no car coming the other way to kill me when I crossed over. I rode it for another 45 mins until I had to shut it off to prevent engine damage because the radiator was busted. It was also amazing that none of the riders following closely behind me hit the unpredictable, spinning deer! There were 10 riders in front of me and about 10 behind. Speed was only a factor for who hit it, not whether or not it would have been hit.
I survived with not a scratch. The deer was still in mid air as it's neck/shoulder was sliced by my right fork and brake rotor. Then it busted my frame slider all the way back, brushed my knee (leaving fur in the velcro), and flung off the exhaust, when it made like a top and spun to the other side of the road, leaving a blood trail over 50 ft. The 2 lines of blood keep intersecting, which show how much the deer spun.
By the way, I am not looking at my gauges. The cam was tilted down by accident, but I was fortunate because IF it was tilted up you wouldn't be able to see the impact! Unfortunately, I forgot to buy a lotto ticket that day. Less

May 26, 2012 - I realise that he didn't mean to hit the deer. Its the fact that their so smug about it.
el369diablo Says:
May 26, 2012 - Yeah...because he totally meant to hit a deer with a motorcycle... -_-''
UnionJack1989 Says:
May 25, 2012 - I watched the video and thought it was horrid. I scrolled down expecting to see comments from people appalled at these bikers. Only to find comments screaming about how "cool", or blessed the rider for such luck. These bikers are a bunch of self righteous chodes, blowing each others dicks over how amazing they are. Hopefully this man gets hit later in his life, you don't get away being so boastful of another creatures demise without retribution. I... wish no "luck" for this joke of a man.

May 25, 2012 - Damn........ i'm really happy to see that the driver on the bike managed to stay on it and not flung off at 85mph. Count your blessings my friend.

May 25, 2012 - I hit a deer at 70mph on my ST and literally cut it in half. I didn't go down either... Sometimes we win, sometimes we don't.

May 24, 2012 - "How did you keep it up?" "I have no i-deer" HA HA, thank you, i will be here all day XD
ConTrollUK Says:
May 24, 2012 - That guy got very exited; "you cut that deer in half", lol.

May 24, 2012 - Nice save.
wbrenner75 Says:
May 24, 2012 - How do you know what happens at 85mph? Assuming you're able to process that as a rhetorical question, then you must realize how dangerous you were being and wish you'd have been killed then and there so we could laugh about it and be happy you're not on the road anymore.
wbrenner75 Says:
May 24, 2012 - What a sweet sentiment, laughing at people being killed. Oh look, another rider with a family put 6 feet under by a driver who was too busy to worry about staying on one side of a double-yellow - HAR HAR. At what point did you see a deer standing on the side of the road, by the way? Do you think it waited on the shoulder then accelerated faster than even this bike could in order to get out in front of him?

May 24, 2012 - This happened to me once, cut it in half, bike was write-off but stayed upright, took 200 yards to stop without brakes....stupid animals
CombatArmsArtist Says:
May 23, 2012 - Wow you would think you would crash
nickhockeypr007 Says:
May 23, 2012 - how did you not crash?
blikje5 Says:
May 23, 2012 - You killd something
pjsmoulder Says:
May 23, 2012 - And this guy hasn't been prosecuted for speeding? You're lucky man...

May 22, 2012 - joeeeroganbitches
hondac55 Says:
May 22, 2012 - His high speed definitely helped keep him upright. If he'd been going the speed limit, which I'm sure is like 25-35 mph, he would have hit it and gone down HARD. His high speed created a strong gyro effect on his wheels, which is why he stayed upright.

May 22, 2012 - Great motorcycle control.....Respect
ordi75 Says:
May 22, 2012 - Scumbag deers... They never run across the road when there isn't a vehicle nearby. But noooo, when you approach around a corner, they pop out in front of you like a clown. lol
sunn1e Says:
May 22, 2012 - That was some of the best riding i have seen to keep your cool as well, i would have prob got off and passed out.
