Ouch, glad you're ok!


.......Hope you took pics :-)

 

I've had a close call with deer on 2 and 4 wheels. Never fun.

Your Guardian Angel was looking out for you. Glad you're ok. Bikes are easy to replace.

 

What the above poster said. Bikes are easy to replace.

I don't do much riding at night. There is one stretch of road I do traverse once in a while that is wooded. There are hundreds of deer in that park. I stay vigilant on that one.

Really glas this one has you in good health considering.

 

Strewth! Well done for surviving to tell us the tale. Now what did you do to annoy the deer.....

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Yes Dusty 55 to 60 after all It was down hill. lol And I was being very dilligent about looking back and forth as they say head on a swivel (from my flying days I'm a private pilot too) But this ramp comes off an overpass down an elevated single lane everything was pitch black both sides. I was running with my aux lights on. and my son in law in front with his brights on. and this picture is like all I saw , then in the twinkle of an eye BAM.







Next time I will do the only thing I could do more is SLOW DOWN.
p.s. I was told it was closer to 6:40pm but it was DARK.

 

I may or may not have told several very bad Deer jokes such as " So this Deer walks into a Bar.....then something bout a long face " I DON'T KNOW I was under a lot of pressure. ( said like jerry seinfeld )

 

Wow! Glad you kept it up and are ok! How is the ankle doing after a couple of days?

Those are some gnarly pics!

 

Damn, I thought I had it bad after I ran over a turtle going 45...I bet that smelled real nice after cooking on that hot motor (sarcasm intended)...

 

The ankle is improving Swellings going down. Strange it started bruising yesterday (black & blue) Thanks for asking. And as for the smell. You would need to be sprayed by a skunk to make it smell better.
I hesitantly posted the pictures they are disturbingly gnarly. But if one person remembers them and slows down (or puts on a helmet) and avoids a hit ...well then it was for the greater good.
Ride Safe
Ps I sure hope the Harley dealer (Calumet Harley) can get it completely restored to original condition. I hate to be a doubter but I would be surprised if they get it the first time.

 

In Oregon we slit their throat before gutting them lol

Glad your here to tell the story, it really amazing that you didn't go down. Hope you heal quickly
