Out with friends for a big ride and front man hits a deer. He was going about 50kph and it bolted out of the scenery and straight into him.
Broken ribs and a worse for wear Norden but thankfully he’ll be fine.
Easy to forget that Canada is as wild as…..
Police attended and had to put the deer down as it was badly injured. Not sure shooting it in the nose was really fair but two shots later it was dispatched.

You don’t need to be in the real wild to hit a deer , we saw one in the middle of Dunstable 2 weeks ago , crossed the road in front of us ! A friend of mine hit a chinese water deer just outside of woburn she managed to stay on but destroyed the deer and the cagiva v raptor she was on stunk of deer insides for a while ! Happened right in front of me .

You sound fairly local to me, there's loads of the buggers around here! As you say they don't seem limited to rural areas - any wooded area in a town and you can pretty much guarantee there'll be some.Hugo Stiglitz said:
So it leaped out? Fairly decent height too!
Glad your riding mate is ok
It was resting in the verge but they have a habit of bolting when you’re right on them. We’ve had a bit of a heatwave and the bugs have gone mad so they’re driving the deer out of the woods. Glad your riding mate is ok
And these local white tail deer are pretty big, stand at eye to eye level with an average man..
Reports are that he’s cracked a rib and got some road rash here and there. Engine guards on his bike saved a lot of damage but the left side plastics are toast along with the front mud guard and screen.

No judgement meant at all. Apologies if it reads that way.
Just semi marvelling (grimly) at the height that theg can spring too.
At least sheep just potter across.
What gets me is that they time their run to absolute perfection, if their intention is to cause an RTA and commit self destruction.Just semi marvelling (grimly) at the height that theg can spring too.

And for clarity, it came from the OTHER side of the road. Not a wide road per se but it absolutely came out of nowhere at full tilt. Mental really…
