I think he needs to paint little deer on the side of his bike.



Somewhere in Iowa, there's a deer with a little motorcycle stenciled on it's butt.



LOL, that's a funny thought. Seriously though, OP's friend is damn lucky. I hit a deer in 91 traveling from Austin to Houston (I-71 just outside Bastrop, TX) on a Honda VFR750 rice rocket. I remember I was freezing my @$$ in early December. The deer "rut" was on, and it was almost dusk. I had just begun my decent on a hill when I saw her in the right lane staring at me. I was doing around 75-80 when I switched off the brights. As soon as that happened, she dove straight into me (decreased to 60-70). The deer broadsided me, exploding my mirror, cracking my fairing, & breaking my right shin. How I didn't go down I will never know. My best guess is I had forward momentum on my side. My bike bounced twice before I could regain control & park it in the median. After I checked my drawers, I walked toward the doe lying in the median grass. I got about 10 ft from it, and she took off across the westbound highway, almost causing another accident. I didn't even feel the pain in the leg until I got home 2 hours later. Adrenaline, it's a hell of a drug
