Doe! A deer, A female deer - Toyota Yaris Forums

Coulda been worse.

I'd bought a Suzuki-clone Chinese scooter for commuting, three years ago...I've had a satchel of problems with it, but fuel economy was not one of them. 80 mpg and highway speeds...great commuter bike.

Until I hit a deer last May.

No, didn't go down. But look at a Suzuki Burgman 400...that's what my ride basically WAS. All that plastic fairing...and the whole front area was demolished. Much of it was molded one-piece sections that wrapped over both sides; and EVERYTHING was destroyed to the frame. Both the external and the glovebox molding.

I'm trying to strip it down and run the frame with a seat...think, Honda Ruckus. But deer...let's just put it this way. MORE DEER PERMITS.
