Considering I slammed into a broadsided deer, I find it important to say how astonished on the extremely low amount of damage...
Yes it's true... There is a small amount of rash on the edge of the deer dam, crap on the radiator, and when it finally fell over the highway peg spun around and popped an airvent in left case...
People that have seen the damage are not believing I even hit a four leg...
I am SO GLAD I ride big bikes and with deer slamming equipment...
What are your thoughts of what I said ? ?

You are a lucky man. Many riders have been killed hitting deer.

I figure I was going about 40, maybe at most 45 mph...
Two of my three boys got rash on there pads and walking a lot better than I...

My neighbour just got released from the hospital after slamming a deer head on. He had packed his and his wife's bike in the trailer and pulled them to Wisconsin. Got the bikes out and went for a ride. The wife always leads because he's too slow. She loves to twist the right grip, he loves to cruise. The deer crossed the road between the two of them and he nailed it broadside while riding a BMW R1200R. Wrote off the bike, he did a flying squirrel over the deer. Broken arm and collar bone. UGLY. Wisconsin is wild with deer. Almost as bad as cattle roaming in Cuba or Roos roaming in New Zealand. The worst thing is that they all blend in with the surroundings and if you don't see movement, you won't see them.

Be safe out there !!!

I'm guessing that there weren't four of you on your Voyager. How many bikes were involved?
