Did you poop? I would have.

 

I watch the shoulders for their eyes glowing, and find myself yelling at them. They tend to turn and run when I do.

I fear these things more than sixteen year old girls with cell phones!

 

I knew a guy in California who hit a deer on his bike, He had major problems getting his leg bone to heal.(& destroyed the bike) Doubt he ever rode again as he had a permanent limp. I have had encounters in my car also but no hits. Another thing to lookout for are Cougers & Bears. Have seen them also crossing the road.

 

I really hate this time of year. And I have been seeing deer smears on the road in places that I would have never thought to be cautious of them. Over the summer there was one smack dab in the middle of the road at the end of a curve on a Rt. 1 off ramp. Luckily I was in the cage that time. If I was on the bike I might have been eating guardrail.

 

We need those Jurassic Park electric fences bordering every road. Bzzzzap! Where I like to ride, the trees come right up to the road - I hate that. Other places cut the trees (there're plenty of them) back from the road so the berm is expanded to give a much wider view. Maybe with some reaction time, we'd have a fighting chance.

 

Ramrod1, you are exactly right. You wont see it. Speaking from experiance. Good job on keeping your cool. Glad you are OK.

 

Glad you made it through unscathed and were able to keep it upright. I had a deer run into me on my last bike and down I went sliding down the highway.

 

You did a great job. Thats a good reminder to keep both hands on the grips ... Otherwise.

I agree I think the ABS might of made all the difference.

 

we rode all the way to the north east side of Detroit yesterday for a fallen soldier ride 11/2 / 2 hrs and were were getting back around 7 pm and I saw more Deer last night than ive seen in years.. We had 2 come across in front of us but we were making a hard 90 so I just revved the engine and they hurried along.. I sure wish I had a place to hunt this year ... Im about out of meat and im not gonna hunt with the bike or the cage .

 

Glad you came out ok as I did. They're all out to get us...whether it be man, woman, or beast.
