In April, 2015 @ 0620 I had an unscheduled meeting with a deer. The deer's head took out my right passing lamp. It's leg hit my highway peg which my foot was on. The force of impact broke a bone in my foot. The deer swung around me and took out a strap on my right saddlebag. No paint or mechanical damage.
I was doing 60 mph at the time in the middle of nowhere with no cell service. I never went down. I stopped, took in what just happened and continued on my way. it was dark so I couldn't assess the damage at the time.
A split second difference in the deer's speed or my speed and I could have easily t-boned the deer. I was incredibly fortunate.
