Motorcycle wrecks?

Just one ~~ so far.

A year ago at this time I was riding with a friend around the Sierra foothills outside of Fresno. After breakfast at a popular place we took off ~~ but I didn't get very far. My friend was in the lead and all of a sudden I saw his brake lights flash and several deer come out of a ditch into the road. In the flash of an instant a thought hit my mind ~~ I could hit my friend, I could hit a deer, or I could try to stop. I locked up my front brakes and went down. I ended up with a severely sprained knee (I'm still not 100%) and almost $5000 in damage to the bike. It took me awhile to get back on the bike ~~ and I still have only ridden back and forth between home and the office and around town. I now hate deers with a passion.
