Holy fuck that was disgusting!
But thank the gods I'm still alive!!
I was riding my motorcycle home on I-280 in the rain, at night. I noticed something on the road just in front of me. Thought at first it was some mud, then realized "no, its blood.... and a FUCKING DEAD DEER!'
I'm doing about 80mph, its laying across most of my lain, I have no time to go around it! So I straighten the front end, get up off the seat, standing on foot pegs, shift weight back and pull up on the front end as the front wheel hits the carcass. Launch off the deer, both wheels off the ground (or so it felt like), landed holding the front end firmly straight, and sat back down on the seat.......................... "HOLY FUCK" I say out loud!
Realizing what just happened, and amazed that I did not crash, I decided I should pull over at the rest stop just ahead to make sure the bike is ok.
Stop, check for bits-o-deer wedged where they should not be, and look for any major signs of damage. All is well, aside for the smell of flesh and hair on my exhaust. So after a nice deep breath (away from my bike), I get back on the road. Thats when I noticed that my mirrors had shifted upward from landing that hard after JUMPING OFF THE FUCKING DEAD DEER IN THE ROAD!
Continued home without a hitch. My Honda VTR1K ran just as smooth as she always dose!
All I can say is, I FUCKING LOVE MY BIKE and I am glad I have great reaction skills!
