[QUOTE="deanw, post: 462318, member: 448"] Grusome, to say, but perfect place to hit one. Of course, that's maximum messiness, but the weakest part of the animal... short of not hitting it at all, of course. BMW wheels are known to be soft- intentionally. They want the wheel to give if you hit a big bump. I guess a deer qualifies. Many years ago a friend hit a deer with his GSXR-1100. He caught the animal the same place you did- between the ribs and hips- and had a similar result. Little piles of deer and plastic all over the place, rode it out. Bent the forks and radiator, but finished the trip, then the insurance totalled the bike. FWIW, if you buy the bike back, I'd be interested in the glove box and instrument cluster... Dunno what the latter is worth, though. My gauges faces are bubbling away from the backing (inflate in the sunlight). Yamaha said that's a "cosmetic" issue, thus not covered by YES. :angry: [/QUOTE]
