Incredible job keeping the bike up. I'm sure the design of the bike had something to do with it, but I believe it was mostly your skill from the stories I've heard. Glad you're ok and i echo an earlier poster that I hope I would have the ***** to keep going.

That was too lucky. Very glad to hear you're okay. Bike can be fixed. Plenty of experience with deer in Missouri. Not too many here in Reno though.

Well look at it this way-- you got that "Oh ch1t" moment out of the way now on the first day so enjoy the rest of your ride.
Good to hear you were able to stay upright.

Glad you're alright buddy. I'm sure that deer scared the **** out of you!

If you're coming up I25, Outpost Harley is on the north side of Pueblo, right of the highway. Good people there.

Fortunately, Ohio puts up deer crossing signs to show the deer where they are allowed to cross
We have very smart deer in Ohio, they can read the signs where they are to cross...........

IF you are using an Iphone, there is an app called HOGME and it will show you where all dealers are, and it will show you which ones are closest to your location.

Cheers!...Glad to hear you are ok, parts can be replaced.
