hi all, this is my first post but it's a bit of a bad one .... My name is Martyn Stebbens, been riding bikes for 4 years. got a sv in june, had to put a new engine in it because it had been thrashed and it done the big end

. got one with 4,000 miles on it for £500. all was well for the next 3 months till last wednesday when a dear dicided to step out into the road when i was dong 60 mph on the way to work, hit it and some how managed to controll it and keep it up and come to a safe stop, but the bike is in a mess

did well to control that mate, looks heart stopping and bottom twitching. at least you had venison for tea.
welcome aboard.

The are stupid creatures, but unfortunately quite solid

At least you survived, bikes can be fixed, humans not quite so easy

yup they are soo stupid ! It came out and I hit it before I could touch the brakes... still don't no how I kept it up though, but the freezer is nicely stock'd hehe

Was that a 'old dear' or a 'wild deer'? They're both prone to stupidly wandering into the road without looking.

Glad you managed to keep it shiny side up.

Keith.
