Damn Deer

Good things do happen to good people! Glad you and the wife are okay, hope that's the worst that you'll ever have to deal with for the rest of your life! You won the lottery, but I know your skills are really what saved you, that and a good liking from the Lord!
 
yeah man glad your ok and didn't go down. I am pretty nervous on the road I live on. There's plenty of deer around here. I always cut back a notch on speed just in case. You can be going 5 mph and have one run out and hit you around here. Ride safe and Stay thirsty my friends.
 
Guy at work last week(Friday) did not fare so well, he hit or rather was cleaned off his Heritage by a 4 point. Three busted ribs, punctured lung, broken collar bone and a lot of road rash. Was 6:30 am plenty of daylight and happened to come around a corner there it was. Per MoSHP the ride is a total, buddy will need a few weeks but he is OK, this is his second shot as 6 years ago he had the same thing occur.
 
SO glad to hear you survived your up close and personal meeting with Bambi! Sounds like some mighty fine, cool-headed in the face of pressure riding there!

Here's a little video from our ride to Sturgis last year. Middle of the day...Flaming Gorge Scenic Byway. A deer was last thing I expected to see at that time and place! I was behind the lead bike...he happened to have my video camera mounted on his bike and caught this extremely close, near miss!

Thanks for the well wishes. We were scared out of our wits. With a little help from friends and the MOCO, we are going to come out O.K. Other than the $550. for the fender (special paint) we came out for about $75. on light bulbs and lenses. We are really lucky.
Thanks Again.
 
WOW.....glad you made it ok....lots of people don't. It did make me laugh a bit when you said the deer crap went everywhere (don't know why that's so funny).
 
Glad you made out so well, many riders have not. When it comes to deer, we must all remember......ANYWHERE......ANYTIME.......ANYONE.
