Initially I agreed with Jo6pak. After watching this video of a motorcycle hitting a deer and not crashing, a rethink may be in order. . At the 0:33 second mark in the upper right corner you can see the deer getting ready to leap. It is the only glimpse I am able to actually see of the deer. And that is by clicking stop and start as fast as I can. I don't have slow-motion capability. Not sure of the guys speed but it was definitely a deer.

At least this guy sustained a good bit of damage to his bike, something you said was not visible to your bike. And you were going 35 mph faster, so therein lies my problem. You may have hit the deer, but to sustain no visible damage is not believable.

UK makes a good point. No care what-so-ever was given the deer and its possible very painful death. Obviously the animal was left where ever it dropped. And you, confident in your arrogance, just continued to work. I hope you made it safely.

Yeah semiFast, I'm too impatient, couldn't wait for the end of the video. I'd like to join you on that bear hunt. I bet you're a good story teller too... :grin:

TR, I'm not doubting a rider can keep the bike up after a collision with an large animal.
It's the part where he purports that there was no damage to the bike that went a bridge too far.


Semifast= I'll join you on those hunts too. I often take moose with my trusty Red Rider:wink2:

I totally agree joe. No damage is just not believable. Hell, I mash a butterfly doing 60 and it at least leaves a mark. That would be an interesting hunt, semi with his 22LR, you with your Red Rider and I'll bring my paint gun pistol. With that artillery we could go for Kodiak....Maybe Sam could bring his rubber band gun and join us...:smile:

Going up a tooth on the front sprocket - which I think you mean adding a tooth - will technically give you more top end speed - on paper anyway. But if the engine hasn't the horsepower to pull the gear, then you won't be going any faster.

cantsir, you want people to believe something that is absurd. You can claim anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist. As Carl Sagan once wrote; "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Your credibility is shrinking fast.
