Discussion
Mainly posted to applaud the guys skills at saving it, but I guess it's a good reminder to expect the unexpected!

O/T but what is this Chill and why is it bad? I see people viewing on FB but it asks you to sign up/register - f
k that
It seems to be a parasitic data mining operation piggybacking YT content - lock down their access, sanitise and repost the link, remove from allowed apps, rinse and repeat...k that.blue said:
Isn't this actually quite bad riding? The roads seemed clear to the side - he should have seen the deer before it got to the tarmac and moved over across the road (I think he was in the middle/kerb-side of the lane).
You ever tried second guessing a deer or any other wildlife? I'd say the save was more luck than judgement, it is just instinctive and sometimes you get away with it and other times you don't. I hit a fox at about 90 on a 250LC many moons ago, i just braced and awaited the pain or certain death (as i was in white trainers, jeans and a paddock jacket) but fortununately (for me) the only fatality was the fox. I cannot claim it was my god like (in my head at the time but now known not to be true)riding skills. It was luck.

Yep 
I hit a Peasant on the DRZ400, I saw it come out of the hedgerow right in front of me, low and fast I had no chance to do anything other than relax and let it happen...the moment passed with a bang/jolt and a wobble...and lots of feathers, blood and guts...lovely!!!!!
