Stupid Deer as big as the whole road! Grabbed all the brakes i could but i think i hit a bad spot in the pavement. Ended up losing the front end, went down hard on my right and as I was finishing my crash, my buddy went down also trying to avoid me. His bike hit me in the right shoulder.

So, here I am lying in the hospital with a broken collar bone, shoulder blade, six broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a pile or road rash and bruises. Helmet did its job well. My 1,100 mile 2013 Street Glide is trashed. Haven't seen it myself but my friend thinks it is totaled. I was really loving my first tour type bike.

Already looking at a new bike, but not too much of a hurry. I think my shoulder will have me in a cage for the rest of the year while I get back up to snuff!

Also a new helmet, jacket and gloves!

 

oh dear God, thankfully you are alive and can mend. I'm sorry. It's only going to get worse with the fall coming and rut season
