deer hit, just spyder damage

[SethO]

Caught a group of at least 4 deer coming left to right at about 2100 hours , the 2nd one in the group caught my left fender and shot me in the ditch but i got out of it after I was sliding around in the grass and gravel for 50 yards.

Got lucky, hopefully everyone else does

it was 8 years today that deer in the road put me in a wheelchair, spyder got me back on the road, almost all owners are the reason the events like spyderfest are the best time.

Glad to hear you are okay!

SethO, I'm sorry you had another deer encounter. Looks like the damage is minimal which is good. Hope you get it fixed up soon.

[cuznjohn]

glad you mad it w/o any physical damage to yourself

[GloryRyders]

Glad to hear that you are OK, the Spyder can be repaired!

[Deer Slayer]

Very happy to hear you are ok. I have done in two with Goldwings. Reason I have a Spyder. Again glad you are ok.

[Netminder]

Glad you are ok, the Spyder can be fixed!

[reissooz]

Glad you are OK - sounds like the Spyder took the hit for you. As others have said, the Spyder can be repaired, and again, glad you are OK!

SethO; Glad to hear you're okay. Didn't an animal mess up the front end on your old?

[Bob Denman]

Hi Seth,
Sorry to hear that you've had to post this...
But it's always good to know that you're around and out there...
No damage to the LF suspension? The Elka looked to be intact, and not leaking.
Here's to hoping that the repairs are accomplished quickly, and with a minimum of hassle!

[Jim&Teresa]

Thanks for sharing and keeping us alert on the deer out there when we are riding.

SO thankful that you are OK.

[Bensonoid]

Damn deer.

Glad your alright and your ryde is all fixable. Make sure you get a good re-alignment and clean your sprokets well..

[wyliec]

Glad to hear you came out of it relatively unscathed. I'll just add- You can't keep a good man down.

[Thundercat]

Glad you made it out ok. That's one of my biggest fears is hitting a deer going down I-70 at night.

[PrairieSpyder]

Glad you're OK!

[Brettssunshine]

So glad you're ok.

[cptjam]

Shoot all you can! Every deer in the freezer is one less on the road! Glad you are ok! Joe

[ARtraveler]

Glad you are okay.

Deer are little more than large rats. They are a nuisance to many and a danger to some. Hunting seasons should be longer and bag limits should be higher. Excuse the rant but the animal "rights" groups are the cause of the deer population explosion for the most part. I must ask: Did the deer that ran into your Spyder meet his end?

[ChrisDeck]

Wow! Glad you are ok first of all. Very sorry for what happened to you in the past but it's great to see that the Spyder was able to get you back on the road.

This brings up a good question for those in high deer population areas and tools to help avoid them. I live in Tx now but grew up in southern Michigan where the over population was a MAJOR hazard. Whenever I visit family up north today it seems to have gotten worse, especially at dusk and into the evening when they are bedding down. I've seen deer whistles advertised for cars over the years and wondered if they actually worked. Maybe there are other options out there but something to possible think about for Spyder riders.

Very glad you are ok. God bless.

Deer are so thick here In the Buckeye state that I won't hardly ride after dark, we are seeing more and more In the daytime..

[Buggy]

Here's to you

I think they should just move the deer crossing signs to less busy roads!
