Yeah wrist and ankle hurt like a bitch but nothing broken.
Not sure if I'll be getting another bike immediately, might just call it quits for this season. I did 8500kms in 4 months anyway, it was a well used Pani. I see an R in my future though

.Whew, you dodged a big one right there in terms of potential injuries! Glad you're OK and sorry about the bike. Nice 6-pointer, BTW. You should get him mounted to commemorate the event and be sure to savor the backstrap. Got some good recipes for you if you need.
Time for an HP4! Hahaha

sorry about the deer and the bike......
glad you're okay!!!
surprising that your eye got bruised....and strange how a cluster of accidents just happened out of nowhere.....
ps a friend of mine once hit a deer and i asked him how he managed not to go down; he said, "i accelerated right through the damn thing!"

There are better ways to get that Arai sticker off your helmet. PM sent. Seriously, that could have been a disaster, very glad you came through relatively unscathed.

With no bike now I'm afraid he'll be here MUCH more!
RE: Arai, those things always seem to shed their visors in a crash. I don't know if its the side-pod design or what, but they seem to more often than not leave their rider without a face shield in the middle of a crash.
Most recent other high-profile example:
Dani Pedrosa CRASH SACHSENRING GERMANY MOTOGP 2013 - YouTube
At least it apparently did its main job and kept your gray matter together...

I've seen just as many other brands lose their visors. I've never had mine pop, even with a direct hit to the pod.
THat's also a pretty hard hit to the dome, one of their design features is the shell and I imagine it flexes and causes the shield to pop.
