After a trade show in Vegas,a friend of mine and I rented BMWs to make a 3 day tour around the Grand Canyon.
Day 2, beautiful ride, 20 miles from the hotel, 65mph and BAM! a 200lbs Mule Deer just appeared in front of me. Not even time to yell SH!T!!!. I hit him and was on the side of my helmet sliding down the road. I saw the bike, 1200RT flipping end over end down the road with parts and pieces flying everywhere. Didn't even have time to crap my pants!!!
I sat up and realized I was FINE. Minor road rash on right forearm where my sleeve slid up. A couple of small cuts on my left hand and THAT'S IT!!! Deer was dead, my buddy thought I would be dead.
Proper riding equipment was the key... Here are some photos
