Headpan,

Glad you are ok...bikes can be repaired and replaced...

[sadunbar]

cleared by nero surgen,gave me his blessing,collar bone had 3 surgens look at it, 2 want to cut me,1 wants to let it be. dont want to get cut,especially after they tell you what could happen with infection..but I did take my arm out of the sling,got on my dyna and took a 5 mile ride! my neighbors think I am nuts,, but told them its not about the ride,its about getting back on the horse after a good fall!! ...it was a good time,, happy holidays to all and thanks for the concern!!..ride safe,headpan

When I hit a deer in 04, I cracked my sternum and seperated my shoulder  (among other things), but my collarbone was unscathed!   My doctors told me they had never seen that before.  If my collarbone would have broken, it likely would have saved my shoulder and sternum.  A cracked sternum is like broken ribs - hurts to breathe!

Glad you are recovering!

Hope you are feeling better.

One came out of the ditch about two weeks back and hit me broadside. Fortunately, I had a bad feeling about taking the bike into town that day and I was in my truck. I never saw her coming and she did about $2000 in damage to the drivers side of the truck. I'd have been dead if I had taken the bike that day..

We need more deer tags.

We need something done about the increased deer crossing hwys.......I'm seeing them on the interstates as well as major 2 lane roads around here.....obviously killed by vehicles.  Something has got to change or we'll all get run over in a matter of time if we keep riding. No way to protect yourself......the deer whistles don't work and defensive riding doesn't work, so.......??    spyder

hope you're feeling better,  we're all glad you're here to tell us about it.  Can always find another bike to ride,   get well soon!

  Glad you're back in the wind.  Don't push too hard though.  Many a stuborn man walks with a limp becasue he was impatient.  I'm dealing with a 25 year old back injury because I was too damn proud to be checked out.  I was too worried about me ride.

   You can ride with me here in New Jersey anytime.  NJ has an unlimited doe harvest starting with bow in October 3rd then gun and ending with bow Jan 31st.  We just about got em wiped out.  Now we need a skunk season.

  For everybodys information.  The worst time for deer collisions is November during the rut. Then during gun season as pushed deer end up in the road.

Thanks fella's..had a few good days on the scooter...caught a few 50 degree days, did a few hundred miles,I was ripping through the gears!....down to 1 bike now though.. They have not touched a bolt on my eagle..waiting on the tank and fairing..I say have the bike done and waiting for those parts, they say they dont turn a wrench till all parts are in!! really pissed I am,only been 3 months.wtf!!. I hate the dealership bull...Oh and my old parts belong to the insurance company,if they dont pick up the parts in 2 weeks,,dealership owns them!!!!...I might need bail money before its all over!
and my pan is down,Old alum. pushrod failed.I had to tear it down to the flywheels to clean it all up,metal in the cases, wiped out my cam.not complaining though.she ran for 7 years with no issues,and many miles.so I guess some keith black pistons and a a new J- grind cam are in order. Nice winter project for me! ride safe,headpan

Great to hear that you're gonna rebuild the Pan.  And that you got some good riding in......keep the faith and watch out for those damned critters (along w/ everything else)    har!  spyder

A deer education program would probably work. Deer are so common in Custer, SD that they have actually learned to stop on the street corners and only cross when the pedestrian light goes green. (Not a Joke) And you guys thought deer were dumb, even some people still cross on the wrong light while the deer in Custer have it down...

Yeah, I've seen 'trained' deer grazing beside I-95 at night only a few feet from the steady line of truck traffic, but the deer I'm concerned most about are the wild animals that are being hunted and in rut that bound out of the woods into the roadway and much too often a biker.  spyder

3 weeks ago at 4pm on a sunny day a buck jumped right infront of me. I remember nothing. cracked skull and temple, blown ear drum, and broken collar bone, and plenty of rash. Ate me up through my leathers.Had full gear on. I am always looking too, I had no reaction time I guess.Been in Yellowstone in heards of Bufflo and elk,cross country every year, and get taken out in the middle of the afternoon by 1 deer out for a stroll across rt. 29 near Phillipsburg.Just glad no-one was on the back with me. My glide is beat up , she slid a good 40 ft. down the road. Crash bars might had saved her.Waiting to see what ins. says. Be safe!..headpan

So sorry to hear about your misfortunate collision. I'll be praying for a speedy recovery for both you and the bike.
Please keep me posted on how you are doing. God bless.
