Well it's gone...
First of the week I had a deer run out in front of me on a back road. I went one way, the bike went another. Luckly I was only going about 35-40 but bike found a ditch and the tree right next to it. I was geared up so i'm ok but bike is totaled. After owning one of the first 14's on the board i'm sad to see it go. I'm hoping maybe next summer I can get another one.

Hope you got some venison out of the deal! Those little fuckers take out way too many bikes, need to be hunted more to keep 'em deep in the woods. Glad you're OK.

I was riding into work the next day and heard on the radio a old man hit a deer head on that same night and died. He didn't have gear on and blasted it face first. I'm ok, gloves, helmet, jacket and pants are a life saver..... and no I didnt get any deer steaks out of it...the bike barely missed the fucker...
thanks guys.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
I hate to sound like a vulture, but since I just had my engine explode, I was wondering........... any chance your motor was salvagable?

Glad you are ok.
I was first in line in a group of sport bikes going up some twisting back roads when one ran out in front of me about 30+ yards ahead. I was moving at a good pace, but had enough time to slow down and the deer moved so I didn't have to pick a side to go on.
Let's just say it was close enough to get my heart rate up and put a stripe in my drawers.

Glad you are safe! Maybe you may want to get that awesome green(09) as a replacement. I have that same color, Candy Thunder Blue and I would only trade for that green if neccessary

Glad you are OK and thumbs up for using riding gear. Bummer about the bike, hopefully an insurance payout will help ease the pain.
