Nobody cares how the deer turned out????







Over done.
Gamey. Salty.
Tender.


The only person I know personally who had a mid-air deer collision, took an air ambulance to Toronto's best emergency facility and spent months in a hospital bed.
Ontario deer are pretty fargin' big but this one was already airborne at chest height after bouncing off an oncoming van's front end. Goldwing cut it in two but he never saw any of this. He had to be told later what happened. So . . .
You've got a story for the ages and you lived to talk about it. Go buy a lottery ticket.
If someone wants to see any images I refer to in posts, first check my gallery here. If no bueno, send me a PM. More than glad to share.

Holy Toledo!

I believe Dan, in his power lifting / bouncer days was called Hercules....

Now we know why, apparently still a lot of strength remains from those days...

Ride safe...

Dan, glad you are ok. Good thing the deer went high and didn't bend those beautifully forks.

Dan, you are really something! I can't imagine pulling that off myself. I hope you are doing well and the FJ is an easy repair.

That made me laugh. Tell the truth I kinda felt bad about killing the deer. Don't like to kill anything. Unless Its for food.

Fred thanks for the mirror offer. I've got a really ratty one the weight is loose and the reflective stuff is coming off. But it'll work for now till I can get a good one.

You've obviously never ridden in California.  Car drivers are prime targets!
