Why does it seem, after I hit a deer in BC all these threads about hitting them pops up... I have a 2pc Rev-it leather/textile(mesh) suit. Its leather on main impact/slide points and it saved my ***, legs, arms, my whole body after I hit a deer at 110km/h and slid 50+feet. I have always been the...

Poping the clutch and looping the bike. That and left turns at busy intersections... Never was afraid of hitting a deer until it happened...

Good times last night, Nice meeting you Jen. Cheers, Geoff

When I was traveling west in the US this past july I didn't have any problem with this until the first station inside of washington(first shell station I saw since I left Canada). Took me 30min to fill up, ****** me off. I have heard of this trip before but couldn't remember it. Hopefully I...

Ill probably come out, still on the hunt for a new bike but ill come for the company. See yah tonight

It was on HWY 1 east of Kamloops, just past a construction zone

It was mid morning between 9 and 10am

Wow that's some insane stuff, glad he was ok, the scooter doesn't look that bad. Considering. The deer I hit was bigger than that one, and I braked when I saw it shoot out and hit his square in the gut. I went over top of the handlebars and deer, and I blacked out. Next thing I kno is I woke up...

This is true. I can't wait to get another bike, my garage is empty. I'm looking for a sport bike I can pick up cheap that needs some work that I can fix myself and either keep or sell down the road. Can't work for a few weeks due to my hand so what I can afford right now is next to nothing :(

Thanks Tim! But that one belongs in the over priced bikes thread! Lmao $5500 for an '02 R6 :p

Griffin, I agree, personally am more comfortable in an ss position than the more up right seating of the gs. Thank you everyone for all the get well wishes. Hand is doing ok, went to the doc yesterday and couldn't get an apt at a fracture clinic for over a week, so they sent me to the 'merg...

Maybe you adjusted your chain too tight

Nice seeing you all again. Bought a lottery ticket as soon as I got home. Hopefully that luck carries over then ill be on 2 again real soon! Likely see you all next week. Cheers, Geoff

Another R6 is definitely a possibility or maybe even a GSXR750, but the '6 has a huge place in my heart :p

I hit a Deer on HWY 1 just east of Kamloops BC, last Thursday, at about 110kph I saw 4 deer on the side of the road and they ran across when I was about 20feet from them slammed on the breaks and hit the first one in the middle of its torso. Knocked out as soon as I hit the deer. Came to with a...

That's what I want, but insurance will probably argue against that. lol The super tenere is an idea but I'm more into the sport riding and with only a 1200cc in Canada insurance is probably turning that one down to. :(

Thanks Jamie! Ill be there this week for sure!

If I've got a bike, ill be heading east next summer ;)

More than likely! Didn't ask the cops. But I hit it pretty hard!
