Motorcycle Hits Deer, Helmet Cam 6-28-09
I hit a buck on my 04 GSXR 1000 on June 28, 2009. I did not crash, but the bike is totaled. The guys behind me said the deer spun like a top across the road. Not only did I not crash, but there was no car coming the other way to kill me when I crossed over. I rode it for another 45 mins until my bike overheated due to loss of antifreeze. I am completely fine. It only just grazed my knee. Unfortunately, I forgot to buy a lotto ticket that same day. Filmed with a VIO POV 1.5 helmet cam....

Ok. I ride in Southeast Oklahoma, you don’t ride after dark because of those things. It doesn’t matter if he was doing the speed limit or not, deer just jump out in front of you, they are stupid. I had one slam into my car while I was driving down the highway, IT HIT ME, it was standing in the meadian perfectly still with its buddies, I slowed down to 35 from 75 it turned and just slammed into me, all the other deer just stood there like wtf. So the lesson is even other deer hate stupid deer.
You are lucky, and good save. About a foot lower though and it may have been skidsville.
yeah it never hit the ground. and it bent my right slider pretty good, which probably kept my leg from getting shattered
wish i could make some extra money to fix it with the video, but im not up for selling the vid. of course ins scammed me and only have a few g to get parts
Amazing save! And good to see that you were fully geared up!
Very lucky man, that is insane!
looks like you got some on your helmet there my friend
damn pause at 0:33 it looks like a baby
it’s a young buck, not a baby. its antlers were like 2 in
thats what i meant
the whole front of the right faring was red too, but then turned to brown after riding it a little while longer lol
The only thing to be labeled “stupid” here is YOU. You need a reality check. Respect for nature? In New England deer kill dozens of people every year because of their tendency to run in front of traffic. You don’t see too many “farm house children” doing that, you moron.
The overpopulation of deer in that region is because of idiots like YOU.
Terms, good on ya keeping that Gixxer up. You are one fortunate rider. ATGATT!
yeah, PETA people are dumb. i dont understand why they value animals lives over their own kind… maybe they should be abolished and live in the woods with the rest of the animals
road kill!!!
glad to see you’re ok!
be safe out there
i am not Peta member. but yes, we do live with the rest of animals, it´s called enviroment.
I’m a rider too and I’m glad you came out of this OK. Nice control!!
Who makes that helmet cam you were wearing?

It’s a VIO POV 1.5. It’s not nice on your pocket, but totally worth it.
I was hit by a deer a couple months ago. It broadsided me washing out the rear causing me to go down. Good thing you kept it up at that speed. Ride on!
many more deer in the woods… one less isn’t such a bad thing…
imgaine me living in the boonies in ontario, Canada, I gotta watch for all kinds of stuff when I go out in back roads…
5 stars!
You are lucky man!
man you are a great driver (and a very lucky man)
glad you are allright, bit of luck, bit of skill , and tada, live to ride another day !!
