    A lot of sun blinding the **** out of me at the time despite a tinted visor, managed to see the first one coming and thought 'yeh he/she will pass no problem', then the second mother loving critter springs over the road. My gut reaction was to pull to the right, not much time.

    Enjoy!

    70% of deer collisions in the US happen when a driver slows down when they see the deer, then accelerate and hit a separate deer according to the Animal Protection Institute

    Close, didn't think that'd be all to common over here, where abouts was that?
    BTW, have seen you a couple of mornings about 08.30 around the Sandyford area (today included), I was on the blue SV650S and my housemate was riding a GSXR600 with me the other week.

    Reminds me of being back on the Enfields in Nepal and my mate (who had never ridden bikes before) zapping past cows without even slowing down oblivious to the potential for disaster...

    In many third world countries hitting livestock is only the start of hassle if you survive.
    A cow is wealth to many of these people and killing it will result in them looking for some compensation from you...

    Neither did I haha. It was the left turn at lambs cross, enniskerry road I believes. Ride it every morning, and known it most of my life. Almost never seen deer sprint like that across the road before

    That is one amazing looking bike btw, perfect colour
