Fucking Deer...

Crazy,deer burgers for a year

 

[budman]

Oh shit!!

Glad you are good Mike. Thank goodness.

Damn canyon rats.

 

[Slow Goat]

Glad you're okay! Sorry about the bike but shopping is always fun.

 

[MotoMan91]

Wow

Hope you’re good

 

[N4teTheGreat]

Yeesh. Bastards, I figure this or an unseen patch of gravel in a corner are the two likeliest scenarios for a crash for me.

Glad you are OK and sorry to hear about the bike. Normally, they don't spook so easily due to traffic... but occasionally you will get those Braveheart ones that are bombing across roads to get to the other side of their woods. Lot of close calls with wildlife in general... they are so dang unpredictable.

Good to hear you will ride another day! Sad to hear the bike was destroyed.

Buy quality gear and wear it. Don't forget to pay the subscriptions! I'll post up some more pics later.

Did your subscription air bag not go off due to billing?

 

[Holeshot]

Jesus Mike. Glad you're ok. That's gnarly stuff...

 

[WoodsChick]

Dang! That's some pretty gnarly looking damage! Glad to hear you're still in one piece.

Thanks for the well wishes guy’s. It turned out to be a bad idea to go to work the day after.

My left knee took the brunt of the impact. Believe it or not it’s much bigger and blacker that that pic now. I did get x rays. Nothings broken. I will have an MRI in a few days. I have been in communication with my nurse practitioner kid sister and she’s warned me about the hematoma leading to compartment syndrome. I’m not at risk for that problem right now. So I’m not quite as unscathed as I thought I was but I’m still damn lucky.

Good gear saves your ass. I have only two dime sized patches of rash on my index and pointer finger.

I’ll try to get some pics of my leathers and lid up soon.

No airbag vest for me.





I hate subscription services!

 

[Holeshot]

that's BIG Mike.

 

[gixxerjeff]

You have some sexy legs.....well, one of 'em anyway.

 

[Mike95060]

that's BIG Mike.

Dude. It’s so much bigger and blacker. My whole thigh is at least that big around now. I can’t imagine how many pieces my knee would be in without my leathers. It looks gnarly but I can bear weight on it and bend it and really I don’t think anything is broken or torn. My quad is chum at the moment but that’s about it i think. MRI will be the last word I think.

 

[Holeshot]

Let us know Mike. Once again, glad you're posting here. Bike's trashed?

 

[peterhively]

Fuck deer. Shoot em all.

 

[Mike95060]

Let us know Mike. Once again, glad you're posting here. Bike's trashed?

I think so. I’m gonna try and get it from the tow yard today. (I have help) I actually have comprehensive coverage on it. I will be talking to the insurance adjuster today. It’s Progressive. I hope I don’t have to get nasty in order for them to pay out. We will see. Now for your morning color....

 

[dittoalex]

Do the newest knee braces accommodate sportbike knee angles? Would they have helped in this case?

 

[moto-rama]

Glad you weren't battered too badly.

Tomorrow is my Deer Hit Anniversery.
5/20/2006 was a long day.
