Spyder won and riders survived! I have fractures face and wife has major road rash on face and concussion. Mistake to let her talk me into 3/4 helmets, but overall ok.
Sure glad you were on a spyder and not a two wheeler. Hope you both have a comfortable and speedy recovery. amazing how much damage occurs when running into them.. Be safe...

It looks as if the critter got rolled-up on the nose of the bike, and pitched right into you!
Glad to hear that you're pretty much okay... heal quickly!
Wow! Glad you guys are OK! Hope you have a quick recovery! Not sure if they work, but we put deer horns on our Spyder. So far, so good. We also use 3/4 helmets.

Happy to hear you are ok. I will recomend vitimin E oil for the rash, as I have killed two deer with Goldwings.
If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it. Sypder Loco!
Wow! Sorry to hear about your accident. Praying for a full and speedy recovery for the both of you. I mostly wore a full helment, but thought it might be safer to wear my 3/4 helment again on the spyder due to the lack of chance for a tip over. Now I see I need to rethink that idea. Did the spyder flip and cause you to get injured, or did the deer knock you off the bike and then contact the pavement? Not meaning to get into your business, but just wondering if the spyder stayed upright.

Wow! What a frightening encounter! Ill have to look into getting a full helmet. I had a deer run in front of me not too long ago but I was in my truck and it was far enough in front that nothing happened. I also witnessed a head on collision between 2 horses and a pickup. That guys truck was flattened in front.

Looks like it's totaled. Injuries don't sound too serious although any injury is serious when it happens to you. We too wear 3/4 helmets. I have a full face for long trips and winter. The wife can't wear full face. Claustrophobia. But, let's not turn this in to a discussion on helmets. This is about your accident and recovery.
