Quite a video of a deer hit on a bike that stays up. Graphic do to some deer guts, but you don't see those until after the rider goes back. Thought I'd share - amazing that the bike stayed up.

And that is a good reason why you should wear protective gear at all times!
Guy did a heckofa job holding that bike up. If he had not been going as fast as he was he might not have had the stability to stay up.

Man, did he get lucky!! Can't believe he got back on his bike so soon, I think I'd be too shookin' up to ride for awhile.

My friend hit a deer with her 600cc, total the bike, she left with bruises. She was lucky too. The deer wasn't so lucky.

Instead of picking up pieces of the fairing.... strap that deer on the back!

Ought get something out of the accident.

Seriously, incredibly luck to keep that bike upright.

Lucky. Looks more like he grazed it than hit it head on.

It's not uncommon for a motorcycle rider to get killed as a result of hitting a deer.
