RE: Why are SW Motech crash bars asymetrical?
#16



Hi Josh! About one week ago exactly I went for an after dinner spin to check out my newly mounted Continental RA3's. A couple of deer ambushed me down by the river. I got on the brakes when I saw them bolt into the road. The lead deer was closer to me and for a milli-instant I thought going behind them would work, then the lead deer tried to veer away but her buddy shoved her back in front of me.
Saw scared deer eyeball up close and torpedoed them both. Bent the headlight back, messed up the instrument pod, front fender and put a large dent in the gas tank, including a crease. And left turn signal. The relatively new top box and bar weight combined to keep the rest of the right side good.
I was sore for a few days but helmet, gloves mesh jacket with armor, jeans and boots worked well.
Waiting on insurance. My clutch hand will take another week or two anyway.
Very grateful it wasn't worse.

Ben
