Title: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: S21FOLGORE on September 22, 2016, 10:17:39 AM Motorcycle Deer Crash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaykzE7P_XE#)
Hitting deer at around 60MPH, caught on helmet cam video. Scary. This is why … You want ATGATT. Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: koko64 on September 23, 2016, 05:31:09 AM Whoa.
Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: Speedbag on September 23, 2016, 07:26:23 AM I concur, having clipped one back in September '09. :P
It's why I no longer ride after dark or at dusk. My textile jacket and helmet were toast, but did their jobs. Still had a wicked concussion and felt like I took on a rugby team. Had I been smarter and had my gloves on, I wouldn't have the kickass scars on my hands today.

Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: koko64 on September 26, 2016, 11:38:26 AM We also have this issue with deer to add to the kangaroos. The introduced species are a real problem in my state.

Well, they're delicious. ;) Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: koko64 on September 26, 2016, 12:09:09 PM Yeah, I've eaten and nearly crashed into both species. The deer population has exploded creating an environmental issue. Venison is no longer a posh delicacy here. ;D
Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: Speedbag on September 27, 2016, 05:24:53 AM Well, they're delicious. ;) That they are, and I wish hunters would kill them all. ;D (I really should get back into deer hunting for revenge.....)

Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: the_Journeyman on October 04, 2016, 09:52:51 AM We also have this issue with deer to add to the kangaroos. The introduced species are a real problem in my state. Hitting a Kangaroo would have to seriously suck. I remember seeing some reds while I was over there and that's a big, solid animal to hit. JM Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: koko64 on October 04, 2016, 12:53:44 PM Like deer we have different sized kangaroo species. The deer farm enclosures were destroyed during forest fires so they got out into the wild and got busy. They are thriving in Victorian forests. In Grampians/Garriwerd National Park I woke up to find both Kangaroo Jack and Bambi's Dad at the back porch of our cabin, within a couple of yards of each other, just standing there looking at me. I was dead sober btw.
Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: the_Journeyman on October 04, 2016, 06:12:19 PM Yea, same here size wise for Elk and deer. Some of the bull Elk could "F" up a commercial rig easily. Others would be a minor collision for a car but could be a big deal for a bike. I was thinking worst case issues.

It happens at around 6:00. Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: Speedbag on October 07, 2016, 01:22:48 PM Dumbest make the beast with two backsing animals in the woods.
At least until you're out there hunting them, then they suddenly become brilliant. Title: Re: Motorcycle hitting deer video Post by: triangleforge on October 08, 2016, 09:55:54 AM Especially this time of year - see one doe? There's at least one buck right behind her, and probably a couple, none of whom are looking both ways before they cross the road.
Last weekend we were headed north, at night, with a loaded trailer out of Flagstaff - we saw two large mule deer, a cow elk, a raccoon, a couple of coyotes - and then about two miles from home (and out of the ponderosa highlands, in juniper scrub country I tell myself isn't as "elk-y" so I start to breathe easier) a magnificent bull elk standing on the fog line. Even though I was driving like a grandmother, 10-15mph below the limit and watching intently for critters, I spotted him too late to have done anything about it if he'd decided to step into the lane. Riding after dark up there brings back bad memories of suburban Maryland. |
