Just home from work,just changed my shorts and just cracked a beer (Negra Modelo)Why? DEER freakin DEER not 1 not 2,
3 freakin deer.
Straight strech of road no traffic doin about 60, up head i see deer run across street, Figure may be anoher one start slowing down second one crosses.Figure I'm clear start to open the throttle HEAR COMES BAMBI freaking thing not much
bigger than a dog. I catch its ****** end with the front tire.
force spins it. its head and shoulder slap my right leg.
Wobble wobble but dont fall.Pull to the side stop shut bike
off. Walk around in circles for a minute beat (to get my heart started again) my chest and sing praise to god.Get back on and head for home.
Why the critter did not get sucked under the tire? I dont know.What kept me on two wheels I dont know that either.
My right leg feels like I got one mother of a bruise comiing on. I'll inspect the bike for damage in the morning.
But thats gonna be my last night ride of the season.
Right now my beer is just empty enough to pour a shot of JD
in.
No wonder I frakin drink.

Jack,
That's a close call brother. Glad to hear you're ok. You just never know with critters. I've had a couple of close encounters but never actually hit one on the bike or a car.

Im surprised no ones chimed in about you riding in shorts...haha (I could care less)
Way to keep it on 2 wheels though, some people panic and lose themselves when IT hits the fan.

Uh dude it was like 40 degrees last night, Shorts=draws,underware,boxers. worn under blue jeans and chaps.Sorry i dont know the "hip" word for underwear.
Checked bike a little while ago dont seem to be any new scratches or dents. No fur or hide stuck anyplace.
But I think I may be down to 3 lives now.And it looks
like there aint a bruise either.Leg may have just been stiff from old age,stress and complete freak out.

Hey Jackson. Ya wanna know what the hip new phrase to describe those deer that run across the road right in front of ya out there is? Well, I'd like to tell ya here, but as you probably know, this here website has some pretty strict regulations about using certain curse words.  (BTW...glad you're okay, dude!)

Glad to hear you're ok and the bike's not busted up.
Never hit a deer myself although I did hit a roo (in my Jeep) when I was stationed in Australia back in the 80's. Was a big red, I swear we were looking eye to eye for a second as he came over the hood...

The long & short answer is no. Sometimes we want to believe something so bad (regrow hair shampoo, weight loss pills, buy my book-make a million dollars, Yheti exists in Pacific NW mountains, Detroit Lions win the Superbowl), that we blindly ignore all common sense &/or research to the contrary.

I don't really know if those deer whistles work or not Mike, but I can tell ya that my Godzilla whistle sure is workin' like a charm!
