Mass is not a function of speed. At least if you do not account for relativistic effects (I do nit believe you ride at speeds close to the speed of light). What increases is the momentum (mass*velocity) and the kinetic energy.

Great video, thanks.

This definitely makes me want to get better gear

Obviously new rider here, my anxiety made me pause the video to regroup after you said to "Let Go". I even started to nervously laugh out loud just thinking about loosening my grip as a semi blows past me on the highway waiting for the back blast wind force to assault me coming off the trailer. I think this is going to be a bit of a challenge for me. Thank you for the tip, I will give it a try. It's always windy where I live out west and being 3 mins from route 66 ... there's never a shortage of tractor and trailers.

Passer-by: ok, soooo, do you guys want this deer meat?

Sitting here watching this laid up cause I hit a buck head on going 50 mph three days ago.

Crossing the border from san diego to tijuana at the beginning of the video

Last weekend I ventured into our back roads to enjoy the autumn colours. One deer crossed close in front of me Saturday. Later another one turned around on the roadside. A single deer crossed in front of me Sunday. That makes it 12 deer crossings so far this year. Normally I go between 30 MPH and 40 MPH in areas where deer are expected.

100MPH, hit a deer and left the hospital after few hours? Dude must be superman or those protective gears have some magic properties.

Excellent teaching style. Very informative with memorable delivery. I'll be adding this to my riding style ASAP. Thankyou.

I live at 4,000'el. in North Central Washington. We would normally have snow on the ground by now, but a late season warm spell granted me three more days of riding my Norden 901. I went for rides Sat, Sun, and Mon. Yesterday (Mon) was my last ride of the season. I live a mile back on a dirt road and had just gotten to the paved road when I realized one of my side bags was still open. Ironically, I pulled over at the entrance to the small cemetery of the community below where I live to close it up. A little frustrated at having to pull over so soon in my ride, I got on it a bit and quickly got the bike to 82mph. Then I spotted two deer feeding on the other side of a barb wire fence. One deer freaked out and leaped over the fence and crossed the road. I missed hitting it by inches. Two miles down the road I came up on a slow moving pickup. We were approaching a rise, so I settled in to wait until I could see the road ahead. Almost at the top, the lady driver waves me to pass her, so I drop a gear and go for it. There was another pickup pulling a horse trailer coming the other way. We missed a head on by inches. An hour later I'm making my way back home on a narrow dirt road through a wilderness area and come upon two vehicles, a car and a lifted pickup with giant tires. At the next wide spot the car pulls over letting me pass, and I wave a thanks. When I get to the pickup, it brake checks me, stops and then guns it spraying me with rocks and dirt. It then goes for another mile at 3mph weaving left and right blocking any attempt to pass. I eventually faked right and gunned it and passed on the left. He literally tried his best to run me off the road, but I got past him too quickly. I did slow up until he was right behind me and showered his windshield with rocks with my back tire. Time for this riding season to end!

Great Stuff 💯

Fall of the year, deer are the prowl....

the deer had no protection,look at the results of the deer,wear protection.....or end up looking like that deer......

bad wreck bro.

Its zero fun dont bother ever riding up there these people are lying. The ONLY reason I ride up there all the time ? It is only just to patrol the road in case someone needs my help but never to have fun....repeat do not ride here! It is NO FUN! Get a goldwing and ride accross country! Or get a motocross bike and fly through the air...anything else but do NOT ride here

im a new rider and still very used to bicycle riding...my brain is not yet trained to use foot brake...LOL

A few years ago was at the all Harley Drags in Bunker Hill Indiana when Happy Ring lost his nitro bike during a run ,hit guard rail and ended up against the wall and when he got up and ran to his bike to see if it was alright couldn't believe my eyes but that's when i started wearing a helmet ALWAYS after seeing how the helmet looked in the pits later that night and he raced Sunday in more races

Hi, what was the name of the identical suit he had on? Very impressed on how the suit handled the crash. Regards, Tony

When I hit a young deer at 50, all I could think about was not going down because I had just painted it Black Cherry Pearl 2 weeks earlier. I was able to save it, but the deer didn't make it. I got SO lucky.

Say all the crap you want to justify these actions. Dopes should not have been going 100 mph. So whatever injuries your friend sustained are on him and his wrecklessness as well as yours and the other person.

he was speeding. insurance has a case.

2:02 moment of impact.

Which software do you use for the info overlay at 7:17? That's really nice and impressive

You have no right to drive that fast on a public road. Other people deserve to be safe on a public highway. You almost cut the deer in half, what do you think would have happened to a small car or a bicyclist etc. You have no right.

The magazine was in your dentist's office, it was called "Highlights." ;-)

"You don't commit to an apex until you see your exit point..." Superbly said sir, and the late apex entry line facilitates that on the street much better in all regards. Good commentary.

Brother, no judgement for riding a bit faster, and please, no judgement for those of us that ride a bit slower on Harleys etc. and less gear. We all ride, it's a love we share and it's a risk we all accept. I am glad your buddy didn't get hurt worse and I hope the insurance company steps up. I live in Tennessee now, deer everywhere, but crazy enough the one I almost hit was in Oakhurst after leaving Yosemite at high noon, missed it by an inch. Heading out to Myrtle Beach from N/E Tennessee om Thursday, we were spared the brunt of Helena, let's all pray for those that weren't so fortunate. Ride safe my friends.

Why are you going 100 mph on a public road? You are a menace and should be brought up on charges for killing wildlife. I feel sorry for the deer. Slow the fuck down!

Just over a month ago I hit a 200 lb buck on my Harley Electraglide at 55 mph. Totaled my bike and hurt my leg pretty bad. The deer slammed my leg up against my air cleaner puncturing an artery in my calf... No helmet. However, my leather armored vest and gloves saved me a whole lot of road rash... Slid on my back headfirst like a hockeypuck over 100 yards. Thank god it happened on the only straightaway on C.R. 80 in Ohio... Traumatizing event. Insurance already paid me for my bike and I bought a 2013 roadglide..Still working on insurance to pay my medical bills...No longer riding in the country after dark...

My one and only bike so far is an '83 CX650 custom... It has one small disc on the front and rear drums. The front brake has hardly any power, I still need to modernize the front. I almost exclusively use the rear brake, i add in a lil front, but only because the front has a lil to offer. The rear does like the lock up, but it honestly feels very in control in that situation. If i lock the front wheel, i feel like that's dumping it every time. I also just need new tires too, but the rear is all I've got, these 80's bikes have no braking power lol. I just make sure to not enter corners with too much sauce. Its more fun to row through gears coming out of a corner at lower speed anyways

thats free deer meat for everyone

i had a 1290 ktm super duke r.i smashed it at 143 mph it was real bad

Holy ×%÷×. That's all I can say.

Hit a large jackrabbit,back in the days,made my motorcycle sway a little left and right..In the blink of an eye it happened..

Up near Stanley Idaho at certain times of the year you can be going through the twisties and you'll have heard of elk that are sitting and laying in the road. But this isn't about that. I know a guy that about 20 years ago he came around a corner in the Idaho mountains on highway 21 he hit a mother bear and her cub with his Harley he hit the Cub first and then the mother and it completely stopped his bike and stopped him too he was fvcked up pretty bad the mother bear was still alive and she was coming after him he was able to drag himself away before she either died or just laid there in the road . But she was coming after him he was taken to a hospital.

Probably one my biggest fears. To get to school I have the option of two back roads, both of which have deer crossings on them, both about three klicks long(a little short of two miles). Never seen a deer, but the roads are travelled by school and work commuters in boxes. I just hope for the best going through the areas.

Riding a bike is not for the foolish I guess, I bet this has happen to other unaware humans.

This was my biggest fear while riding. Until the semi-truck turned left in front of me and we had a head-on.

So, be it??? How about don't diminish the fact that this rider was going way over the speed limit and that is why insurance is balking at the claim, and rightful so. I have no sympathy for this rider.

I took an elk at 65mph. I wore full leathers that had a small amount of padding. It was dark on a less populated road. My right hip was dislocated. My hand had lacerations from where my watch with the old twist o flex band, and my wedding band, was ripped from my hands with the glove. My bell moto 3 was damaged. I stood on the pegs at the last second and tucked my head and rolled. You could see the roll marks on my helmet and jacket. My bike was totaled, but I had to pull the front fender out from the front tire, and twist the front end back enough to ride. I reinstall the battery and road the 1&1/2 mile back home and went to bed. When I woke up I found I couldn’t walk so I dialed 911, only to find all I had was a dislocated hip, that they popped back in, then I was released!

insurance company finds this video of the admittance of illegal speed. could screw over your friend-- give an update

Just want to throw this theory out there instead of the usual "Don't drive so fast" remark - perhaps the extra speed actually helped save his life. 1) It disintegrated the deer on impact which helped dissipate the bones and tissue. 2) The extra speed helped to catapult the rider up and over the handle bars faster and higher which separated him from the collision instead of getting entangled in the wreck.

Brainiacs...

Thank you for sharing lessons learned and the great reminder of the dangers of hitting deer. I will take all of this information to heart. I may even use this video as an excuse to buy a fancy leather jacket I have been eyeing.

I absolutely loved riding but gave it up after going to two funerals in a year when I was 56. One rider was driving the speed limit and driving safely however, someone turned left into him. It’s not always how you drive but how someone else drives. I’m 66 now and have had grandchildren I might have missed if I kept riding.

This guy is all worried about his friend, but no one is talking about "what if we hit a car?". That speed could put another person at risk. Smh

How about Slowing Down.. Luck was with you..

I've hit 2 deer. The guy that picked me up after the second one, to drive me into town, had hit 10. After hearing that I knew this was a way more common occurrence than people realized.

O deer.
