Drive to work involves a rural road at 50mph. 2 deer getting ready to jump onto the road! Pull in the clutch and crack the throttle. No more deer!
Bike sounds awesome.

Never count on it. Damn over-sized rodents around here. See one dead by the road at least once a week.

Had several close encounters with deer of the potentially deadly kind, don't ride at dusk or at night any more as a result. Those suicidal hoofed rats are a menace.

Tried those ultra sonic deer whistles on my truck and found them to be deer attractors and finally hit one (first time in over 35 years of driving), bent bumper broke off one whistle, I kicked the other one off and have not had a problem since.

around here they're called Axis Deer. Those stupid things will wait and lurch out in front of you no matter what kind of noise you make.... cause many a accidents in the hill country.

Deer are not swayed one bit by the sound of your exhaust.
They are just as apt to run out right in front of you, as they are to run off into the field.

The second part of your statement (bike sounding awesome) is probably true though.

I can tell you from experience, cracking the throttle won't work on a moose.....she charged me instead. Barely made it by her. Thank God I had some clean shorts in my bag.
