My wife and I just got back from a 2 wk vacation on the Harleys, and I was saddened to hear about this accident when I logged in for the first time in quite awhile. Vgirl and DC- I hope you heal quickly. My wife and I had a similar deer accident during the 50th Sturgis rally and I'll never forget it. Seems like the deer population has really exploded over the years but I don't know what can be done. A friend of mine who is a self employed Harley mechanic here in Custer hit one by the Custer golf course a year ago last 4th of July. Broke both bones in his lower right arm. The accident happened on a clear 80 degree day at 2 in the afternoon in a 35 mph speed zone. He was doing 35, and the deer just came out of nowhere. Obviously couldn't work for the rest of the riding season, and sported an external fixator. -Seems like you're playing Russian roulette every time you hit the highway.
Anyway, like has been said before, we're just glad you're still with us. -Steve
