I posted here about a minor scratch on my motorcycle awhile bike, had decided to order replacement parts for it

​

today I slammed into a deer going 60-65, was not a fun experience at all, thought I was gonna have broke bones or worse, luckily my protective gear saved me alot, same with my helmet, only part that I didnt have was pants.

​

Ended up with some scrapes and scratches with the worst being a big scrape on my right leg.

​

I thought the bike was ruined but turns out shes pretty okay too, same minor damage that I can probably easily fix

​

just thought id make a post and share my experience and why I HIGHLY SUGGEST ALL RIDERS WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR, that shit was no joke and probably one of the most eye opening experiences of my life

​

Also fuck that deer, I was behind a car and it somehow missed the car infront and ended up getting hit by me : (

so recently just joined the motorcycle community, getting the hang of the ropes and how to ride properly, but ended up taking a small tumble on a turn and kinda scratched up the bike, ive been thinking about repainting the entire bike to have it be more custom to my personal tastes but ive also thought of just leaving it as it as its not that terrible, new to the whole motorcycle stuff so figured id ask other people about what I could do, ill leave some pictures of the damage, otherwise the bike is running perfectly fine, just some cosmetic damage on the left side of it
