I hate deer!
« on: September 26, 2010, 01:42:27 am »
I hit a deer on my Harley tonight and am out of commission for a while. Broken ribs, bikes banged up and I'm all busted up inside and out. I got percoset so I'm feelin a little better but this really sucks. I almost bit the dust

Dang, i've hit a deer with an all-metal 65 mustang, but never with no protection around me.  Kinda early for the deer to be jumping 'round a lot.  I say they extend huntin season to get rid of all these extra deer---they bring Lyme disease too w/ their pesky little deer ticks.

anyway, hang in there and don't laugh at any jokes anytime soon.  Bikes can be fixed or replaced, your body can't.  Glad you dropped us a line.

Now, due to the percocet, if you say a miss in the engine is due to a flat right rear tire, we'll understand.  ;D  (sorry-i hope you didn't laugh).

Man, you are very lucky to live to tell about it. I hope you mend up well and fast. If you start having really squirrely dreams and nightmares, it's the percocet. I had that experience after having shoulder replacement surgery. They had to give me something else for pain. I got to where I dreaded going to sleep.
 PS - if you need someone to come up there and drive those goodlooking trucks around for you, I volunteer.

Best wishes.

Make sure you save a few of those 9 lives for when you get older.

     Feel your pain val, been riding bikes since I was 4, and crashing is no fun at all.  Glad to hear you are alive and can still get around.  God bless and don't rush your recovery, broken ribs are not to be messed around with.  Keep us informed on how your progress goes ok......

Yeah. I rode through parts of Arkansas on my bike worrying about deer. That northern deer ain't anything to mess with. I did have an accident in Houston (non deer related although a lot of the police cars have cattle guards. . . .) that resulted in me getting a metal plate in my arm to hold my elbow together. All they gave me was vicodin, so you must be in a world of hurt. Get better, and keep the rubber side down.
