Hit a deer last night while on the bike...

[paflyer]

Now to add insult to injury you'll be getting a call from the deer's PI lawyer.

All this could be avoided if the DOT put deer crossings in the right places.

What kind of Harley?

one that is deer to his heart D'OH

 

[Ted]

Only kind of Harley that doesn't leak is an empty one.

Funny, the two in the garage are topped off on fluids, no leaks.

I'm glad you're okay. It could have been much worse.

I also thank you for derailing my most recent bout of thoughts about getting a motorcycle license. This time I got as far as downloading the learner's permit application and finding a two-day course not far from me. Now I can put that off again. There are a lot of deer infesting my neck of the woods, and many of them are suicidal, causing them to leap into the path of oncoming traffic.

Maybe we need a crisis hotline for deer. You know, like those phones they put on the side of bridges with the signs that say, "LIFE IS WORTH LIVING! CALL US NOW! WE CARE!" That sort of thing. Maybe a friendly voice on the other end saying, "We're listening, deer," would help reduce these problems.

I bet we need more deer depression awareness.

You ever wonder how some folks manage to get dressed in the morning?

Deer can't read but they can recognize little pictures of themselves.

I'm scared enough of hitting one in my full size suv. Can't imagine hitting one on the bike. Hope you heal quickly

Those injuries should've been a $20,000 flight to the hospital. First responder didn't do their job right.

Lucky it wasn't a moose.

 

[Gary F]

Lucky it wasn't a moose.

If it had been we probably would not heard of this incident.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti.

How is your sister doing? Did she recover from the bite on her hand?

Deer can't read but they can recognize little pictures of themselves.

Especially the ones where someone has added a red nose.

New Harleys are very well made. I had an '08 Street Glide, never leaked a drop and very reliable.

they are. They have factory tours in Milwaukee (engines) and Kansas City and Pennsylvania. So far I've done the Milwaukee tour.

The HD museum is really nice.

The HD museum is really nice.

It is. Then do the Miller brewery tour and it's been a really great day.

gotta love the short tailed forest rats. Miserable things. I usually try to keep a car/truck in front of me when I ride at night, mainly because they are everywhere up here. Problem is, at 0420, there aren't any other cars on the road.

Funny thing is, I see more of them on my driveway than I do on the road.

Very lucky. Banged up ribs and hand, sctratches, bruises and abrasions. Deer lived and ran away. Harley is trashed and is one that I just finished building this past Spring. Guess I get to build her again.

Pic of my hand...not sure it'll be operating an Archer throttle or radio anytime soon.

If only you had a BRS. . . .
