So yesterday, Andy and I planned on riding. He was running a little late but I got a message " I'm on my way. ETA 5 minutes
10 minutes later I got a picture and a message " My bike is wrecked! "
Andy hit a yearling deer that burst out of the brush on the side of the road on his SV1000. Destroyed the fairing, headlights and radiator. He didn't go down and was able to ride the bike home.
Very very lucky.

Lucky indeed, all things considered. The bike looks fixable. I'm guessing the rider was uninjured and I'm glad for that.

dam, he musta down shifted and gassed it, he one burly rider.

G;ad your friend was OK and really none worse for wear. Bike's unfortunately pretty messed up, but as other's have said definitely fixable.

Damn the bad luck
