So I got t-boned today by a deer leaping across the road. Bike is mechanically ok, I took most of the hit to my leg. Happened in a fraction of a second, didn't have time to do much but brace for it. I didn't go down, but the sucker cracked my front fender, fairing and took out my turn signal (stopped to see where it went, but never found it) not to mention it bent my rear brake lever back 90 degrees. I heated up the lever and bent it back like new but if anyone out there has them, these are the parts I could use.
Front fender
Front fairing
1 turn signal
Worst part is that it was on the road I take everyday, and I know the trouble spots for deer. I always slow down for that one spot, and it was like they locked onto me. If it had jumped in front of me I might have had a chance to swerve, but I'll be damned if that deer didn't aim for dead center of the bike.
(I've got some pictures I'll put up later)
