Wayne, you are pretty funny - ya know that Chip and Nancy actually do ride their bikes sometimes and don't just trailer them. 

Even if ya hit a deer with a truck, the end result is not going to be pretty.

Re the dogs chasing deer - the deer are crazed and come out of bushes just scrambling, literally running for their lives. It is kinda sad. 

Another problem with the dogs, is that they too come out of the bush on a trail of something and they don't have any common sense either.  I have seen a whole lotta dogs out this way that you end up trying to dodge as they run across, up and down the road on a scent. 

Any animal that is bigger than I can eat at one sitting is too big for me to want to hit with my bike.  What kinda whistle can you buy to cover all varmints bigger than that?

Turn your raido WAY UP, That's the way I ride -Remember,It's not that I can't hear it's so the other stuff may hear me first   So far so Good.

any update on Ed's condition? So sorry to hear about it...had a really bad spill myself in 1990-they told me I'd never be able to use my right leg again. Showed them! Best wishes to Ed and his family, you'll be in my prayers.

As a matter of fact, yes. I just got off the phone with him. His pain meds have been reduced, and he sounds so much more alert. He'll be in the hospital at least til Monday or Tuesday. He's still a hurting puppy, but he was able to start walking a little today. Painful, but getting stronger. The wrist is still very swollen, and they can't fully assess it until the selling subsides a little. But they think it's fractured. It'll be set and casted after they can get a clear picture of the damage. Lots of bruises, lots of pain. But he's sucking air and walking. That's the main thing. He'll get better each day, til he's good as new! I sent regards and prayers from everyone here. He thanks all ya'll for your thoughts.

Hoist!

I stopped by the hospital last night to see Ed. Saturday was a rough day. Some of the meds had him sick as a dog. They changed it and it's better now. He's gotten pneumonia now. They say that's pretty common whenever you have roken ribs because you aren't breathing so well. He's hoping to go home in a day or two.

In my humble opinion, deer whistles aren't worth squat. I've use them and hit deer with a cage. Living in an area with this many deer it's something we deal with al the time. I hit one with the truck just last year. There wasn't time to do anything. I didn't even touch my brakes.

The fall of the year deer are moving more than the summer time. Early in the morning, late in the evening and after dark are the worst times. If I catch myself out at these times, esp in the fall, I try and avoid the back roads as much as possible. I know the local roads where I see the most deer. Those are the roads I'll avoid. Not to say you won't hit one on the interstate too.

A friend of mine gave me the best advise I ever heard, and you don't have to buy anything. If you see a deer, BLOW YOUR HORN. The deer will normally head off the road asap. I've tried it, and it works. Problem is, I usually am too busy hitting the brakes and steering to avoid the beast and forget the horn.

I wish they were all dead. I'm sure the tree huggers will think less of me.

thanks for the accurate update on Ed.
it just takes time to get better
drugs man, make sure he gets the good ones
but not to many
I'm ready for a cookout @ the Hogbreath ranch before winter gets here.
(nothing like a self invitation) 

I'm with you on the deer, and being in my business the tree huggers don't like me either
till they need a job and then they are my bestest friend

Good to hear Ed's going home, it's always better to recuperate in your own surroundings. As far as the deer-ask a tree hugger to try hugging one of their cute little furry woodland friends, especially during rutting season. Perhaps that will show them how sweet and innocent they are! I really like deer myself, I think they taste great barbecued with Old No. 7 sauce...but I certainly prefer them on a plate rather than the road.

EXCELLENT NEWS!

Just got a call from Ed and he is homeward bound! He is more than thrilled after spending the last week in the hospital. He's still hurting but his lovely wife was chauffeuring him home VERY gently to his awaiting recliner to continue his recuperation. He's in great spirits and asked me to post this update and let all the well wishers know that he's on mend and appreciates all the thoughts and prayers and support!

He hasn't gotten any word on his bike, but it has already been delivered to our local HD dealership to get it all better too!

We can't wait till both you and your bike are back to 100%! I'll be keeping an eye out for double nickel!!

[Fired00d]

Thanks for the update that's great news. Maybe we can get him in here while he's recuperating to help him get better.

 
Ride Safe,

Great News!! now he has a reason to get a new bike - Should be easy to total it out, They make a new one everyday.

[Binx]

So happy to hear Ed is on his way home. Kisses to Ed and Trish! 

[Hoist!]

Awesome news Cheri, especially after hearing the "medication" story from Ken last night! Send him our best and I'll be calling him soon!

Hoist!

[HogBreath]

That's GREAT news.

[ccr]

Great News!  I don't care how sick you are, you just feel better at home being cared for by someone who loves you.

Thanks for the update.

[JesterDecor]

Talked to Trish last night and Ed is happily settled into his Recliner and running her ragged making demands! Just kidding! He's doing great except for his need to sneeze. Apparently that is the utmost insult to broken ribs! Don't worry Binxie, I told him about pineapple and he was repeating that mantra cracking me and Trish up! (but it works!!)

Trish asked me to again thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers and support. Couldn't say enough about the great support that this CVO family provided and made things just a little bit easier to bear through this tough time! SO, thanks again everyone!!

[harleydiva]

Please tell Ed and Trish that we are thinking about them and anxiously awaiting a barbq cookout.  Maybe he could barbq some deer.
