USA Northeast » Deer

I know there's a reason for this, but I'm clueless as to what is. Sometime in June, young deer will develop a beautiful red coat and decide to spend time near the roads. The smart ones watch the traffic go by, the stupid ones play tag with the vehicles.


This afternoon, around 2PM, I was in the middle of no-where and enjoying the road. I saw the pretty little fellow on the edge of the road and hit the brakes. As I slowed, he continued to vector towards my front wheel. Grabbing all the brake I could find, I could see his hind leg hit the front wheel and felt a tug on the bars. Over the guard rail he/she hopped at full-motor. I'm really glad the deer went low, instead of jumping up. That can be messy.


A little ways down the road, I did a check for damage (none) and allowed the heart rate to return to normal levels.

Good to hear that you and bike are fine. Be safe out there guys. Just be glad they are not moose or cows … I have had experience with both in front of me, although not with the bike.

Scary thing is ...... I'm so accustomed to the darn things, I've likely become complacent. (no skid marks in the undies)

But, went back to the garage on a errand for Upper Management and notice that the left front turn signal was knocked out of position. It's a rubber shaft with a simple flange mount to the tupperware. Pull the panel, loosen the hidden nut, reposition the flange mount and tighten the nut.

Yep, closer that I thought.

So, once again it's a proven fact......Higher powers protect the clueless, if they're good looking......

400 lb squirrels, is what I call them. "I'm feeling a little too content here in this field. I think I'll play tag with these noisy two wheelers"

My wife sent this to me after I hit a deer with my Z3. I had to admit, it was pretty funny. Wasn't sure whether to post it here or the reasonably clean joke thread.

So how exactly did you get away with it?

"His medical bills came to almost a million dollars"

….and yet there are Merkins posting on FB saying that we over here should "wake up" because we pay taxes for a health service....

I was skiing through some trees in Switzerland a couple of years ago when a huge brown thing with antlers shot across the track just in front of us. Close call.
