Your annual watch for deer thread
That time of year again. Late last night I was leaving the last housing development on my way home doing about 35-40mph. And didn't see one until she was in the lane next to me running across. Since she was 5 feet from me or less when I saw her I knew we were destined for greatness.
The deer ran right into the side of the bike damaging the Front running light, breaking the turn signal lense, damaging the front fender, and causing the horn to shift.
Ever since I've been getting "Lo RNG" on the speedo, even with a lot of tank left, along with the red dot light being on. Seriously bought the thing less then 3 weeks ago, and boom

Deer crossing signs always get my attention.
A couple of weeks ago, we were in west Texas and we saw a doe and her baby. She was going nuts because my pipes were scaring her and she was trying to find a way to get away from me. She was near a fence and I was hoping she wouldn't jump in front of me. Luckily, she didn't.

Yeah normally I will see there eyes glaring in the lights but this one I assume was in some brush and I didn't even see it.

Trouble is...they never cross by the signs. Stupid deer. Can't they read?

They don't mean Jack to a deer. I've had 3 does with fawns charge me this year.Yeah,I said charge,as in jump a fence and run right at me. One bull moose who also thought about it,but backed off when I hit the kill switch. There is no "time of year" for deer,or any other wild animal. It's heads up 24/7 for a rider. And loud pipes **** some off,more than frighten them.

Just be sure and put them in the correct way. If you turn them backwards the deer will chase you.
