Rally WV Deer Strike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TQMo7IU6-o#) WV Special Stage 13 - After over 300 miles of racing I slam into a deer on the final stage. The deer was able to run away under its own power. Look for the full version on my channel to see the slo-mo.
NOTE: This is closed course racing (road is closed to the public) so both sides of the road are fair game. I don't condone crossing the yellows or speeding when on open roads.
Comments? Notice he rode past the first deer, no brakes applied.

Hope you and the machine were ok after the race amp wore off.

Not me. Shoulda said that in the post. Just a vid a friend sent to me. I copied the caption directly from the website.
Again. I'd like to say that was me but... not.
I follow David Hough's "Proficient Motorcycling" first rule of (large) wildlife encounters: Stop as immediately and safely as possible. You can NEVER anticipate what a deer/elk/moose/horse/cow/rhinoceros,elephant is going to do. AND.. if you see one roadside animal.. there's likely to be more.
