I was able to keep bike uprite and come to a safe stop .but bike front is jacked up entire headlight asembly gone radiator crushed mirror covers gone It looks like she went right over front fender and into bike . I didn't receive any major injuries. Just stiff right now will probably be sore in morning.:)

A buddy has three deer strikes on his ST. He's hit them a slower speeds and got some cracked plastic and headlight shell. He's stayed upright through each one but the deer are 0 for 3.

His wife wants him to get a new ST but he's says his is still good at 90Kmi and just needs the plastic buffed out. :rofl1:

Happy to hear your OK. Let us know if you get DOMS.

Wow, Karl! Sorry to hear this, but very glad that you have no major injuries. We missed you at FerrySTOC.

Sorry to hear this.... the forest rats are one major reason I don't like riding at night! Glad you were not injured.

A dude was killed on his Harley out here a couple of weeks ago after hitting a deer at 11pm and crashing. No helmet resulted in major head injuries. It was a wake up call for me.

On the positive side, there's one less forest rat! But that's the only positive thing I can figure came of this. Sounds like bike is probably a total loss. Hope you can get squared away in time for OH-STOC, but completely understand if you can't make it.
