A beautiful Friday morning.... Till a Deer decided to broadside me while riding motorcycle to work..... Just left the house at 5:30. I was 2 blocks from the house all geared up. Was going about 45 when I saw a brown streak come from between 2 houses. Hit my calf. Which was right where the SE heavy breather is. Mashed the **** outa of the breather which bruised the hell out of my leg. Didn't break anything. Just a little sore. Didn't drop it. I guess my Guardian Angel was with me today... Again..
lot of people love and are always taking the poor deer side during hunting season. But let one them critters hurt someone in there family and they flip sides real easy...
Glad to hear Ur ok...
heres some info on how much damage they do, this talks about car/deer, can't find one on Motorcycle only yet..
EVERY TIME I first see a deer I'm saying to myself Damn thats a big dog Glad your ok! Couple rides ago One was almost across the road saw me and reversed course I was already slowing down But was right there as it crashed thru the (heavy) brush
As I live out in the country they are cute but they do need to be thinned out, they are everywhere and are dangerous,Glad to hear you made out pretty well cause it could have been a whole lot worse for ya..did I mention muzzle loading season opens in the morning for them..Ride safe and have a good weekend..
