[s-cars] Dead deer

[Aaron]

Guess I gotta chime in-
I managed to hit a live deer last fall on my motorcycle at around 55.
 Absolutely center punched him/her.
It happened in slow motion.  I managed to tuck, roll and slide.
 Miraculously i received only very minor road rash thanks to proper
protection, my camel back water bag and room to slide.
The worst part was when a spectator car who witnessed the accident
stopped to help.  The woman passenger freaked out watching the poor deer
on its way out.  I walked over to the deer and gave it a pat and said
sorry but better you than me.  Im not sure the woman understood.....
Im never riding my bike at dusk during the fall again.  Tons of animals
on the roads around this time of year.
