Road King -1 Bambi - 0
I hit a frickin deer yesterday just as my week long road trip was winding down. It was such a beautiful day until the suicidal deer ran out in front of me. I looked to the side for a second and when I looked back there was a blur in front of me and a big bang. Bent the fender all to hell and twisted the crash bar back a bit. I couldn't figure out how my highway peg got bent forward on the side the deer hit (I thought it should have been bent back) until later when I realized I was bracing myself on the pegs and the impact caused me to bent it forward. Lucky thing I stayed up. Not so lucky for the deer.
The really weird thing was a woman and a teenager in the truck ahead of me stopped and began yelling and swearing at me. WTF... The woman was pissed that her kids saw me hit the deer. Did I miss something here? Maybe I sustained a blow to the head, too. Shouldn't she be concerned for my health instead of the frickin deer. People are weird.

Luck you. Glad you are "mostly" OK.
I have a friend who hit a deer about 10 years ago one night on his Sporty. Really messed him up! After years of rehab he is only about 80% normal. And by the way, the "bee itch" is a real "dumb azz".
Ride safe, or at least try too.

Glad you kept her up. But apparently the **** in front of you didn't feel that way. Guess she would rather have you lay the bike down causing potential injury or worse than to have her kids see bambi becoming a deer smear.
Gotta say if it was me I probably would have had alot to say to her. And made sure her kids heard it and realized how ignorant their mother is.

Luck may have played a small part here, but it takes a very skilled rider to hit a deer full on and be able to ride away. (tippin my hat to you)
and a real gentleman to not tell that daym biotch where to shove it.
if it were me. I'd have cleaned out my shorts and then hung them on her antenna

She needs to put a helmet on her and the kids. Full Face, leather, and roll bar... maybe best to put on blinders too. Glad you are through it.
