Title: goldwing vs deer Post by: rsoffar on August 01, 2012, 06:19:08 AM My uncle recently sold his GoldWing to someone and shortly after received an email from him with this photo. The guy said he was cruising at 65 mph when a deer jumped out in front of him. Really sad to see the bike like this but luckily the guy walked away unharmed. (dont know if or what gear he was wearing)

Rally WV Deer Strike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TQMo7IU6-o#) Title: Re: goldwing vs deer Post by: jsd2 on August 01, 2012, 08:28:06 AM Glad the rider is ok. A guy in my area was killed when he hit a deer yesterday. I got one with my car last year. If I was on my Monster I would have been in big trouble.

Not only are they stupid but their timing sucks.
Title: Re: goldwing vs deer Post by: SDRider on August 01, 2012, 01:39:16 PM I grew up in the north east and every couple years someone would be killed because they hit a deer with their car and it came through the windshield killing the driver or a passenger. I saw a car hit a deer once at highway speeds. Wasn't pretty and the deer lost that one but the car was pretty fuxored too.
A guy I work with hit a deer in the 70s on his motorcycle. He walked away with relatively minor injuries but the bike was totalled... as was the deer. They are stupid creatures.

So it happens a lot more than we'd like, but it's not a guarantee death sentence
