Deer strike.

[the Ferret]

Buggers.Glad you came thru relatively unscathed. Deer are a menace everywhere. Out here in the country I see them everyday and have fairly close encounters regularly. It's bound to happen one of these days.

At any are glad you are ok and were able to finish your trip, because it sounds like a fantastic one ( minus the deer encounter of course),

PS Larry Grodsky, motorcycle safety expert, who wrote the Staying Safe series for Rider Magazine, told his wife if anything was going to get him, it would be a deer. In April 2006 his prophesy came true. he was not as fortunate as you were, he died.
