Chuck sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you're ok.
Listening to NPR this morning on the ride in. They were doing a story about urban/suburban deer hunting and how people you wouldn't expect to be in favor of hunting were begging the hunters to come save their shrubberies. They had one 81 year old lady who they tongue in cheek described as being "blood thirsty" for deer after they ate her tree.
They said there are now more deer in Texas than people (32 million estimated). I've also seen the there are now more deer in New England than when the Pilgrims landed. God Bless the hunters. We need to distribute salt licks with imbedded birth control.
Rider was killed last weekend in Springfield, Ma after being side swiped by a bear. Then there are the burgeoning wild turkey populations you have to watch for as well. I see dozens on every ride.
Saw a new car in the neighbor's yard yesterday and said congrats. Found out it was a rental because their car was totaled by a deer, this weekend.
Stopped in to see a friend in South Hadley last week and he had hit his second deer this season. Luckily his new weapon is an F-250 with the full Rhino package.
Last year same friend hit a deer that went through the windshield of his wife's car late at night. His face was badly cut and he went to a house to call the police. The lady screamed when she answered the door and saw his bloody face, but at least called the police for him.
While the cops were there arranging for a tow the deer came to life, put the car in gear with its antlers while trying to get untangled from the windshield and started slowly down the road. The cop ran along side the car and shot him multiple times with a hand gun leaving several bullet holes in his wife's car. The cop that shot up his car asked if he could have the deer.
I think we need to take out the "Deer Leader" with a drone strike.
Sucks about the bike but you can replace the parts and be back on the road in no time.[/QUOTE]
