Glad to hear you are OK.
I travel deer infested roads everyday at 4:00AM&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I always try to time it so a cage goes in front.
I still think about it all the way.

Glad you are okay.&nbsp\\; Scary and amazing you rode the damaged bike for 40 miles.

I read there are more deer in the country now than when the pilgrams arrived.&nbsp\\; We've killed off all their predators.

I'm for re-introducing wolves back into Florida.&nbsp\\;

 

I live about 3 miles outside the City limits, so it goes from a built up area , to rural with the simple crossing of the Kansas Turnpike.
&nbsp\\;
I am always mindful of deer, but lately, it has been those ugly damned possums that seem to think the middle of the road is their own private racetrack......not sayin they move very fast either.

 

Steve, you're one lucky SOB.&nbsp\\; Should go out and buy some lottery tickets - any day you&nbsp\\;can dump a 700 lb+ bike, skid along the road and live to talk about it is ONE GOOD DAY.&nbsp\\; Glad you're okay.&nbsp\\; You're going to feel it the next few days.
&nbsp\\;
I really think someone needs to educate the deer population - just kidding.&nbsp\\; Scares the hell out of me - been lucky so far.
&nbsp\\;
You said you rode the bike home - would think it not totaled.&nbsp\\; Amazing where they can find used parts to fix up these bikes.

 

Glad you are ok.&nbsp\\; Get better quick.

 

glad it ain't worse. i don't feel bad for the deer or the fawn. i am cold hearted when it comes to that stuff cause i'm the one that gets called to euthanize em.. glad your gonna ride again.

 

I agree with you on the protective gear...went down this spring on a bunch of slick gravel and jacket and gloves saved a lot of skin.

 

Glad you're Ok too!&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I've never hit a deer but I have put one down.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I wasn't wearing what I should have been but still only got away with some road rash and a few bruises.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; If I'd been wearing what I should have been, I wouldn't have had any road rash at all.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Now I don't ride without the appropriate clothing.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Some ask how I can take the heat on a warm day.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; First thing is, modern gear is vented well enough that, as long as you're moving, it's not that bad.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Beyond that, my answer is, "I'd rather sweat than bleed!!"&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Good luck with your insurance advantures!&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;

Glad to hear you're ok Steve.&nbsp\\; In my neck of the woods it's MOOSE we have to worry about !!&nbsp\\; I was riding out the Highway just recently and one just 'strolled' across the four lanes !!!&nbsp\\; Fortunately I saw it coming out of the woods and had time to brake !!&nbsp\\; Protective gear is definitely what it's all about !!

 

Bike was an 07 Road Glide, if it did have the sensor, it failed, will bring that up with the dealer thou, thanks
