ANALYSIS & Damage Assessment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQRv1H9_v4A ************************************************************************ For more raw videos, like my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/AdrenalineProductionz ************************************************************************ I hit a buck (had 2+ in. antlers) on my 04 GSXR 1000 on June 28, 2009. I did not crash, but the bike was totaled. It literally jumped right in front of me and I had no time to react! In the analysis (link above), you can see the deer was only on cam for 6 frames which is 6/30 or 1/5 of a sec! Therefore, speed had nothing to do with impact. Factors to consider (in debatable order of importance): 1. Speed: a) at speed limit would only have had .5 sec to react b) going faster *I* would have evaded... could have hit someone else 2. Momentum: a) accelerating out of the corner b) not enough time to let off 3. Angle: Bike was almost all the way leaned over 4. Deer mid-air: a) less resistance b) not high enough to knock me off and kill me instantly 5. Deer impact location: Only hit neck, not body 6. Deer angle: Jumped from -right- side while I was leaning -right- into it 7. Deer weight: a) approx. 100 lbs (45 kg) b) not fully grown buck yet 8. Ride position: Usually hang off bike, but was taking it easy 9. Frame sliders: Protected leg from tearing off 10. Exhaust: OEM (not shorty) prevented carcass from hitting rear wheel 11. Post impact: No car in oncoming lane 12. Wobbles: Violent steering caused front wheel to lift off ground 13. Bars: a) throttle hand came off b) if left hand came off... whiiiskey throttle! 14. Corner: Caught bars and dropped front just in time to turn, avoiding woods 15. Full gear: Deer brushed knee- no injury 16. Camera angle: a) cam tilted too low b) if normal, impact wouldn't be visible 17. Rider behind: a) avoided spinning deer in approx 1 second b) didn't swerve 18. # of riders: 10 approx 1-10 secs ahead and 5 approx 1-10 secs behind 19. Following distance: Deer jumped in between 2 riders 20. TIME UNPREDICTABLE: a) time the deer jumped b) time i was there that day I rode the bike for another 45 mins until I had to shut it off to prevent engine damage because the radiator was busted. I survived without 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. Lastly, I want to mention that my right is a wide open field. There's 1/4 mile before woods. Deer heard us coming at least 10-20 secs before the first rider passed. If it did not hear us coming from miles away, then it had to have seen the other bikes go by. It tried to go between us... This stray deer ignored all instincts! Freak accident and nothing else! If you think slower speed would have avoided impact, then watch the analysis. If I was going faster, I would have avoided it entirely and the guy behind me could have hit it too. Am I lucky I didn't die or am I unlucky this shit happened? Many things in life cannot be controlled...like cancer. If you try to figure out why it happened, you'll never get anywhere. Don't ask why, don't let it affect your outlook on life, just try to keep calm and carry on!

I hate motorcycle riders like you. There is no need to ride 85 miles per hour on a country road. You're not impressing anyone with your stupid bull crap. I wish the deer disintegrated that bike you were riding. There's no need to be going that fast. You don't need to be speeding and putting other people's lives in danger. I hope someday you'll lose your license for the rest of your life.

no, I wanted the deer to live :(

I swear deer are fucking stupid. I live in Arkansas, and I have to always dodge them at night. There won't be another car for miles, but they decide to cross the fucking road when you pass by.

What is something is the ability to keep the bike upright during the impact. The momentum and weight of the bike probably had a lot more force than the weight of the deer, along with the rider staying calm and not fighting the twitching handlebars and not braking suddenly. Even at normal road speeds, close calls can happen.

Too bad it's not you on the road. You shouldn't ride in that speed where animals are expected to cross. Fucking asshole.

Must have been a Liberal Democrat bicyclist to blame speed on a deer suicide.

If you were in a car, your windshield would just shatter when hitting dear at like I think 90 mph cause sometimes when you are up in the mountains I would see cars flying down the highway. If on the bike you would just flip or fly off In mid air.
