3:30 in the afternoon. Cruise set, enjoying life. Just seen it comin out of the ditch, Ditches not mowed and tall grass and weeds. Just enough time to try a swerve and hit brakes before impact. Think I went over the bars. Heard the bike sliding past as I was rolling on the asphalt. ER Doc says I'm damn lucky. Walked in to ER and back out. Just a little rash and some sore joints. Bike is pretty screwed up, even though I rode it home. I hope its totaled and start over new.
Thats just ugly seeing the bike on its side. Glad your here to tell us about it tho. Bikes can be fixed or replaced. People cant. Hope you and the bike get going again fast. Good luck with the new one.
Deer population in Northern NY has skyrocketed, it can be anytime, anyday, hit one in 93 flipped, road rash bike totaled, a good three months of skin growing back with full face and leathers.Hope you heal fast, definatly time for a new bike.
Same problems here in Michigan too. Almost hit a yearling few weeks ago heading to work. Dark and the Damn thing turned away right before we would have collided. His eyes were as big as mine!
Glad you walked in and out of er. You are far more important than your scoots!
They're active and NE's a hotbed. Wish they'd mandate ditch mowing, or controlled hunting in town. I see them come into yards and eat plants. Glad you're able to ride another day and hope bike can get replaced.
