Had a couple of near misses on my HRC Fireblade ( with the usual P/Commander and Akrapovic ) when I was out with she-who-must-be-obeyed on her CBR600RR......Red Deer are pretty ****** frightening when they jump out in front of you while you're pressing on, and it happened twice !! We then saw a rider had hit one in the area and died, so we decided to sell the bikes and get the TTS Roadster instead.
Not the same as riding the bikes, and we both miss it every time we see bikes around, but the nearest we can get while minimising the risk.
