That could have been WAY worse than it was-thank god. Long time ago(my 84 k w cabover was BRAND new) i hit a deer in texas. Truck was driveable-but done right at $6000.00 worth of damage to it. Would not even want to contemplate the same situation on a m/c. Some folks seem to lose sight of what a WILD ANIMAL is. Saw what a moose hit by a pickup truck in alaska did to the pickup. Warn't pretty. Get my brother(da prez) to relate his encounter with a deer some years back on a goldwing. RIDE SAFE.
There is a saying in Texas, "Everything in Texas is Bigger" and I'll add "Better". I guess since your are from the great state of Missouri, we just had to show you. LOL
