buxnut Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 2 riders down in separate deer strikes. Doesn't mention any gear. http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2010/07/30/story-marysville-deer-motorcycle-crashes-fatal.html?sid=102Always be on the lookout. It's the ones you DON'T see that can get you the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danballa Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I saw 3 of them Saturday morning just standing at the side of the road. I slowly rolled by them, as they were probably 6ft away. Luckily it was right after a stop sign, so I was already going slow. Definitely gotta be on the lookout. Them deer are often just like cops! Whenever you see one, odds are, a couple more are close them. (No offense to the deer intended. Please don't report me to PETA!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kritz Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 After several close calls I've basically stopped riding after dark. You just can't see them. I had one run right into the side of my car this spring. Judging from the dent size I'd have been toast on a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Just heard this morning a co-worker hit a deer with his bike, on Monday night. Probably on the way home from work. He's ok with back rash. More later when I find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood3586 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I seldom ride without seeing several. Country life, and all that jazz.you know being in the heart of Akron and being right by the expressway, Matt and i have seen A LOT of deer around here. Also we saw a wild turkey a few weeks ago.. riding down by route 8, we both looked at each other like i know that was not a big ass fucking turkey.. These animals are adapting to the city life now.

ReconRat Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Just heard this morning a co-worker hit a deer with his bike, on Monday night. Probably on the way home from work. He's ok with back rash. More later when I find out.I don't think Shawn saw the deer, I heard he woke up on the side of the road. His helmet is here at work, someone brought it in with all the rash and deer blood. He's still in the hospital. I'm trying to find out where.edit: that's probably not all deer blood, that's some of his also.Update: Shawn is recuperating at home. Guess the road rash wasn't too bad. Next question is how's the bike... Edited August 3, 2010 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's ok with back rash. More later when I find out.That would be me. Going around 50 & trooper said I split the deer in half. Woke up about 50 ft away faceup on the pavement. Don't remember shit but a blur of brown fur and hearing the fairing crunch. Lots of rash & surgery friday on both hands to pin bones together. Hip hurts like a mother, but X-ray said it isn"t broken. MRI on thursday to confirm. Jacket & gloves in the saddlebags doesn't help much.I will post accident pics once I get them. Bike is in lots of little pieces.
