With where I ride, this is one of my biggest fears. Had one in the middle of the road couple weeks ago, by time I saw it, and it reacted I coulda reached out and touched it. Luckily it jumped away from me instead of into me. Glad you're still up and with us... let us know about the bike

 

here's to a speedy recovery!
my you heal quick and completely

 

I see deer almost everyday on the way to work at 5:00 in the morning. Mostly they're just standing on the side of the road. The exhaust seems to get their attention.

But on my annual trips to Ohio ( 220 N to 250 W through your state of WV,) the damn things just stand in the road on a blind curve just daring you to hit them (and its noon, not 5 in the morning.)

(And they're bigger too.)

Glad you're OK.

 

That sucks! Get better bro!

 

The city people in Marietta thought the deer were sweet and adorable...Now the city people are crying a river cause of al the damage the adorables are doing to the pretty flowers planted by the little old greenies.....City hiring well qualified bow hunters to cull the deer at night while the little old greenies are asleep..can only be done on certain days.......Damn it you tree hugging twatwaffles move to SanFran.....you cant have it both ways.
Open season and feed the poor

 

Thanks everyone. Home now with some new titanium hardware in my shoulder. Looking forward to getting another bike.

Keep'em rubber side down. Hurts a whole lot more if you don't, BELIEVE ME!

 

Get well soon!

 

Got to saddle right back up as soon as you can. Get well soon.

 

Dang! I was hoping to see a set of antlers.

 

Your deer sounds about the same size as the toyota the left turned me into the ER. My titanium is holding 8 different pieces of my shin bone together. Just like a deer she finally saw me, hit the brakes mid turn, blocking the whole road. I hate those kind of surprises.
