Going down a two lane today about an hour before dark to get a chicken dinner from an old country type store close to the house and out of nowhere a deer jumps out of a ditch. I see this out of the corner of my eye and go left hard because nothing was coming and nearly clean out a ditch. The good news here is that I was in my old pickup truck so its all good. The deer hit the right side of the truck and folded in the mirror and broke the housing and skinned up the door but that is not a big deal. Looked in the mirror and the deer rolled several times and got up and ran back the same direction he came from. It could have been way worse.
Just throwing this out there for you guys to be extra careful on your motorcycles. First one that has hit me in my life. I dont think I would have been able to avoid it on my motorcycle. I was only going about 50 mph. Please be careful and mindful these deer are everywhere and more active this time of year.
