Someone said it looked like a 7" wide 230ft black mark(Thats roughly 76 yards or 24 yards short of a football field). Just curious but how wide of a tire would you need for a 7" wide contact patch skid.

Someoen talked to the guys father and brother/cousin/etc. Said he got the Hayabusa for his 21st for a suprise from his father. Apparently his father and son did everything together. I'm guessing since they rode ATVs(As mentioned before) that the father felt he'd be fine on a Hayabusa or the bike his son drooled over.

But yeah I'm fairly inexperienced(Been riding since last July) and almost nailed a deer the other night. I was on the FRONT brake so hard I was doing an endo higher than I've ever done before. Never did I think "Rear Brake". I made a mistake by not shifting my weight back and pushing down on the pegs but the deer bolted out so fast I didn't have much time to react. I may have brushed the deers tail when going by.

And after a month of two or riding on my old SecaII I almost hit a deer and was on the brakes very hard. That time I did both front and rear brakes and never jabbed on them.\

Still a sad case but needs to be evaluated so others can learn from it.
