More precisely, she hit me. Right front LED is cracked. Right mirror is gone. I had a straight tracking Spyder from the dealership, bet I'll need an alignment now Right front fender support cracked. My right forearm is a little scraped and my throttle is sticking. I made it home okay though. So much for my first brand new vehicle. Almost made it 9000 miles with no repairs.

Oh bummer! Sorry to hear that. Glad you got away with scrapes and bruises. It would be good to put the deer to good use-maybe venison stew?
We have a bunch of deer around, I have to REALLY watch out for them because they blend in so well. I hope you get your Spyder fixed soon and enjoy riding again!

Count yourself lucky! You got to ride your �� home! Both bruised but you get to tell the tale!
I am so sorry to here this. Hope everything is ok with your arm. I know what you mean by deer running into you because we had hit two this year. The first at beginning of riding season, a lot of damage to the bike, but thankfully no damage to us. The second at beginning of fall. Was going around a hairpin turn at low speed and not much damage to the bike but a small crack at the left front. No damage to us again thankfully. Deer are especially crazzzzy this year.
Sorry to hear what happened to you and I wish you a full recovery

That is why you should alway be carrying; shoot that hoodlum before it escapes, after all that was an unprovoked attack, would be considered self defense in court

Very glad to hear that you are ok!!
The Spyder can be fixed, but after loosing a good friend earlier this year to a deer strike on his Spyder any day you can walk away from one is a good day.
I am hopping you mend fast and your Spyder is back on the road quickly!

Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people...... but our benefits don't?

Was the major impact point on the bodywork, or the wheel? If it's the former; the frame will be okay. If the wheel took the shot; have the dealership look the front of the frame over with a fine-toothed comb.
Glad to hear that you're okay!
Bikes can always be fixed. People: not quite so much!
That sucks, glad to hear you are OK. The deer may not been hurt too bad like a car would do. Deer are very tough.
I hit a deer in my truck in March, I don't want to try it with a my Spyder. I hit a dog in the early 90's with my GSXR1100 and totaled the bike ,I was VERY lucky only had minor injuries. I don't like animals to suffer, so my CHP comes in handy on occasion in the Piedmont of NC.

"Backwards riding trike hit me last night while out for casual walk. I was out last night with the misses, minding my own business as usual. When we happened upon a roadway, I looked twice as we deer always do, and I started across when all of the sudden out of nowhere one of them crazy people carrier things came flying along. The misses ran off to get help immediately while i was just a bit shaken up. I had a few scrapes on my left side hoof, and quite a black and blue eye. Will these human folks ever slow down when they know we're here?"
Glad your ok! Spyder can be fixed

That deer probably didn't live...
The initial fear response will take them about 100 yards off the road; then they shock out and die...

They are not expensive and folks in deer areas use them a lot. Does not hurt to have a bit of insurance (even if they do not work the cost is very low).

They don't...
All that they do, is transmit at a frequency above our hearing range. Deer hear all sorts of sounds every day. A high-pitched whistle might get their attention, but there's NO GUARANTE, as to how they will react.
For all the they do; you might as well call them, "elephant whistles". After all; have you ever seen an elephant on the road, with your whistles happily doing their thing?
