damn' deer

[Jammy]

On our little unplanned rideout today Tommor had a bit of a meeting with a deer (down the A339 near Alton) and came off, Luckily he is OK (maybe a cracked rib). In the ambulance later on was smiling and having a giggle at his own misfortune ( Lad :smt038 )

Bikes not so happy though, im sure pictures going to go up soon. Lets hope Tom heals up quick!

[Paul the 6th]

fallout has just posted a pic, looked fekt :( hope tommor is ok!

[Fallout]

No photos of the deer. I think rudolf dragged himself off into a field to die. Bike has knackered right side mostly, including pegs, throttle + lever, light cluster, bent forks etc.

Not the first time this has happened, Dizzyblonde had an altercation with one of these stupid creatures a few years ago.

Gws Tommor

[Spank86]

He's fine, he was just trying to score drugs off the ambulance guys. As soon as he realised he wasn't going to get any he was jumping around like nothing had happened.

[Thunderace]

Hope he appreciates us standing around in the cold for hours, and pushing his fecked bike up that damn hill!;)

Seriously though glad your OK mate but take it from me that rib is gonna hurt like hell next time you sneeze!

I'll take you pillion on the next ride!:rolleyes::riding:

[Littlepeahead]

You should have got the deer and bungee'd it to the back of Si's bike, then I could have made you a lovely venison casserole with horseradish mash and slow cooked red cabbage. Really warms you up.

[Jammy]

Im so hungry. Damn you Peahead

[DJ123]

Ouch! Fingers crossed bike is not as bad as it looks. Is that the A339 on the way to/from Basingstoke?

[Jammy]

A339 Alton-bound, about a mile before the junction which takes you into alton if you head straight on or loomies if you turn right

[Spank86]

It's worse.

One of the forks looks bent, the rear plastics are cracked tank is battered, radiator holed...Plus everything you can see.

Done a bit of a number on it overall. And he didn't even get the number of the girlie who stopped to help.


On the plus side the light protectors escaped almost unscathed.

[DJ123]

Damn, sounds like the bike had a good tumble down the road and not a slide. This is why nature is dangerous!!!
Hopefully it can be salvaged for not too much money.

[Tomor]

What I have learned today. I hate deer Tarmac hurts and good gear will save you! I'm ok. Bike is fecked and I hurt but it's nothing that can't be fixed!

Bloody hell, glad you're alright Tomor.


Where's the bike now? Does it need recovering or taking anywhere?

[Tomor]

Bike is back home. Got AA cover so all sorted thanks.

[Wideboy]

Ah you massive penis. Just got home and saw fagouts fb deeley

Glad you're ok mate, suppose you can finally spray it a proper colour now

Aw that's crap Tomor, unlucky mate. Shame it was one of the decent bikes that got binned and not one of those old thunderaces. GWS soon, give me a shout if you need it trailered anywhere for repair.

[Owenski]

Farkin hell!
Extra man pint for you tonight! If you're gonna do summa you may as well do it rite- and you did!

[Bordtea]

Any idea how fast you were going when you hit it out of interest?

[Littlepeahead]

The poor little Bambi was probably spooked by Fallout's scary orange wheels.

Have you established if it was Roe, Red, Sika or Muntjac yet?

[Bordtea]

Nathan, accept me on facbook!!

[Tomor]

Was doing about 140 whilst overtaking an Aston Martin.

[Spank86]

Nathan, accept me on facbook!!

He's in Norfolk.

Try to tone down the neediness for a bit.

Oh deer

Word of warning Yellow pointies are rare!

[Fallout]

They're even rarer now!

[maviczap]

Must be something about yellow SV's

http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=159708&highlight=bambi+deer

Can't remember what colour SV used to kill Bambi, I think it was her black one.

Still 2 out of three ain't bad, cue song.........

[andrewsmith]

I'm sure DB's was the yellow one too
There was an old orger who totalled a mate GSXR hitting a Doe

[maviczap]

I tried a search on Bambi Killer, but I couldn't find the thread, it was way back in 2007

[Littlepeahead]

I came tearing round a corner in Chiang Mai, lovely smooth tarmac, sweeping left hand bend, agggghhhhh what are all those bleedin' elephants doing in the road, not even walking in single file!?! Not a high viz vest on any of them either.

Then 2 days later I nearly ran over a big snake that decided to wiggle across the road. I know they are deaf so wouldn't hear me coming but the stupid thing could have looked before slithering out of the verge.

[Sir Trev]

Glad you're smiling Tomor. Lots of Muctjac (sp?) around here and I've come so close to the same fate a few times. Not nice.

[dizzyblonde]

Nope, Dave the Sv was the black one. Look in my photo album in my profile entitled my bikes.
Nice photo of Gore :)
What you are supposed to do is aim for the hind quarters, that way you hit the guts, and they explode, thus allowing you to carry on riding at speed, and arriving at you destination safely with only fur and guts attached to your bike, and no damage to either of you.

The only time my yellow SV has been involved in any sort of accident is when its fallen off the sidestand.


Bambi on the other hand:.........dead, left in the road for the entire AR07 attendees to ride past and laugh, at it being carved in half. Nobody fancied it for dinner.

You could have loffted the front wheel for the snake .
Might have been a bit tricky were the elephant was concerned!!

It was a bit. Only had the bike four weeks and that happened. Mind you a week or three after that I did 2000 mile trip over in France. Bike did fine, surprisingly 60mph squash damaged nowt.
Well, apart from when I got back and changed the fork oil, there was a slight crease in one fork leg.
Lucky I'm not dead, and the witnesses didn't have a heart attack!

[Winder]

Just seen this, sod the bike at least your in one piece. Good excuse to get a GSXR front end on anyways

[Fallout]

That's what I said! Forks are getting straightened instead though. Booo!

[Tomor]

60 quid or 200+ and less riding time whilst I fiddle about

[Fallout]

What you really need is Bender from Futurama. He'd do it for some engine oil and a beer.

[Mark_h]

Why not just reverse over Jammy at speed? He's probably about the same weight and build as the average puny deer so in theory if you hit him at the same speed everything should bend back to where it was. We could get Fallout to video it as part of his next how-to.

What could possibly go wrong?

Actually you may need a couple of assistants to throw him between your wheels as if you just reverse over him you may end up with him wrapped around your new rear shock and I suspect he'll be a bit tricky to hose off.

We can sort the details nearer the time......

Actually a mate just sent me this .... Maybe a more seasonable front-end mod....

Oh deer!! :D And I thought that yellow liquid pouring down the road was from a certain dismembered creature's bladder. :)

I don't know what you mean fallout. Tomor wasn't dismembered at all.

This one is going the wrong way down a one way street. There is more chance of spotting a wild rampaging deer in Chelmsford High Street than the H2 bus at this stop, so unreliable is the service to my part of town.

[missyburd]

Have you established if it was Roe, Red, Sika or Muntjac yet?
Not forgetting Fallow ;)

Nasty do, good to hear you've seemingly come off alright though, more than can be said for the point but it's not great loss I guess :joker:

[Fallout]

If you saw how slow he rides now, you wouldn't say he'd come off alright. When I'm following Tom I can often be seen reading a magazine.

Apparently it was last seen heading towards the A12 where they set up road blocks but didn't manage to catch it. It's now lurking in a hedge waiting to see if Tomor comes out for the Essex ride in August.

[Spank86]

Yup, they've called upon Tom to ride more often in order to cut numbers.

[Littlepeahead]

Riding through Bolderwood in the New Forest today and about 6 fallow deer ran out in front of Stu. He managed to avoid them. Stupid animals. I may have venison curry tonight just to get my own back.

[Fallout]

How would you know you weren't eating one of their enemies? For example, if a bear used the same logic to get its own back at the GM lot and it ate Spank, we'd all be made up.

[Tomor]

Well, just to give you all a final update, the bike is all fixed now(been fixed for a while, just been lazy in putting pics up), and sounds awesome. Will be up for sale very shortly as I have bought myself something new.

Massive thanks to all who have helped, GM guys who pushed my bike up the hill and hung around whilst I faked some stuff in the ambulance and came away with some Paracetamol :( Respray was done by Phil24_7 who has done a fantastic job and is a perfect colour. Would highly recommend him!

Here's my new steed in case anyone has missed it ;)

Bothered?? nahhh, 1 less for me to hit :D at least they had the decency to kill the deer though...

[Sir Trev]

Was worried I was about to inadvertantly cause something similar yesterday. Walking the dog down a footpath near my estate I saw something small coming towards us. From the colour I first thought it was yet another off-the-lead Staffie (did not have my glasses on so it was fuzzy) but then realised with relief I was not about to have yet another doggie fight to separate. The Muntjac saw us, stopped, ran back the other way, decided it did not like the narrow exit to the pathway and proceded to hurl itself at the chainlink fencing on both sides of the path. Finding a gap it shot into a building site carpark before sprinting across a road heading for the trees of the nearby park. Closed my eyes as I waited for the screeeeeech-crunch but thankfully there were no passing cars. Stupid things!
