Ya not daft enough to go up the Chase at night. Kwak, that's my night haunt at work, the passenger deer spots for the driver there are that many.

More fool you if you do tut tut tut

That road is awesome in the car, come from Cannock as fast as ya can and turn left without slowing (tower garage on right) take it out of gear and you can free roll to pottal pool island if you get it at the right speed. I would do this at night as this road is generally very busy LOL

Long way to go but it's doable, thats when you get fed up of looking for deer to aim at on the bike !

I would offer to show ya but I ain't going up the chase with you LOL

So do I that's why I was very surprised you ride those roads in dark. Nice roads but too many hazards and if you did hit a deer and you ended up in a pile you wouldnt be found very quickly. Sorry being sensible and boring here in this one Kwak but I patrol those roads of a night and never see anything but deer LOL.

The amount of RTC's I've been to car v's deer, and the car is totalled ...... be careful !!!

I wouldn't recommend a bike Vs deer scenario...it makes a right mess. damn deer guts burn the paint on your engine casings and pink draggins go red!
