You are probably right.
I was the 4th person to join this forum exactly 18 months ago to the day. Its a little embarrassing to be honest but my heart was always in the right place and I just had to get my checkbook to agree. You guys have all been great helping me with my CB750 when I needed advice and I appreciate it a lot. 3 more days and I should have it home if the weather cooperates.

And we can't wait for you to fulfill your dream of owning a CB 1100. Can only hope it's everything you hoped it would be.

Thanks a lot Ferret. I just cant hardly wait and know Im going to like it. Its a big moment in my life. I will try to post pics but I cant promise anything since Im not very good with my i phone. Biggest concern since I have so far to travel is to get home well before dark. Deer that hit me last week scared me pretty bad. Not taking chances on a motorcycle close to dark. I will park it and get a motel room if I have to.

If you find yourself 'stuck', my usual strategy is to slow down and wait for a car to come up from behind. I then wave them past and let them lead, both to light up the road ahead AND to let them be the ones that hit the deer.

Plus one. I use the leading cars lights all the time. Im not going to put myself in that position if possible. The deer that hit me really shook me up. I want to minimize my chances. I am not taking chances.
I want to stay safe as much as possible.

Haven't noticed them for sale anywhere recently, but you used to be able to get a little high frequency whistle that mounted to your bike, car, etc. that supposedly alerted the dear. Much like a dog whistle, they hear it, but you don't. No clue if they work, or not. I bet you could still find one in the good old J. C. Whitney catalog!

I have noticed deer along side the road back away from my Staintune as I go by where the same deer did not budge as the cars in front of me went by....
