Deer strike.

[emptysea]

Glad you're ok. Had a Close Encounter of the Deer Kind yesterday, but was lucky enough to have more advanced warning than you, even though I was coming out of a turn and over a hill doing about 60. I got the bike stopped and they decided to return to the cover from whence they came.

I think there was a discussion here about a published article (Cycle World, maybe? And I'm paraphrasing it in any case) that stated that 100% of motorcycle crashes could have been avoided by the rider. The author then lowered his estimate to 99%, allowing for giant rocks falling from the sky or the occasional deer jumping out at you. I guess this makes you a 1%er.

Looking forward to your upcoming report and will be extra vigilant because of this one.
