Motorcyclist hit a deer today in Malibu

[uclabiker06]

Just got home from Mulholland and heard on the news that a motorcyclist hit a deer on Mulholland.  Anyone know exactly which part of Mulholland the incident occurred?  I always ride Mulholland in Malibu and have never seen a deer.  Hopefully there wasn't to much damage to both parties...

Deer jumped across the road on a section of switchback on Las Flores...

Who was it?!  

Jody, Sean, and I were taking a break at the Sierra when we heard all the sirens.  We thought it was CHP chasing some hooligans.  

I just got an email from Jody saying it was a red 900 Supersport.

The only guy I know with that bike is ..........

Bacon-Junkie:  Had to edit your post.  The rider doesn't feel like revealing his identity quite yet.

He's ok enough, but on pretty heavy pain meds and his bike is totalled.

I too almost hit a deer on Mulholland a few years back.  Svcker ran down a near sheer wall, across the road and down into the canyon as I'm leaned over in a turn.  It happened so fast I really didn't even have time to react.  I had a little stripe in my shorts after that one. 

I grew up in Upstate NY so deer crashes are very common and almost always cause serious damage to the cars/trucks that hit the them.

Hope the rider heals quickly.

PS Matt, I got your joke!

..... and I was griping when I got hit by a bird.   


Here's to a speedy recovery,
