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.
So glad you were able to walk away from it, broad daylight! That stinks, always thought they were more active at night... Best of luck with getting a new ride.
Yeah we see them all day in west PA, had one jump over my head off of a bank 11am one morning, in my mirror I seen him land in the other lane right behind me and had a fawn hit my left saddlebag once. Hate'm also, scare me more than cars. Glad you are ok.
