We Are Fine, The Bike Isn't...

[mraf]

New bike? Hit deer? OK? Geesh. Glad to hear your both alright.

Allen, we were just up the road in Westfield where it happened! We went thru the center of town and I was thinking of turning at the light and trying to find your place before it happened! Shoulda turned...

Wow Bob what can we say but be thankfull that you & Becky are fine. Bikes can be fixed or replaced.

I don't think your insurance company should be too hard on you seeing as it's only the bike they'll be fixing.

Glad to hear that you're both OK. It really does suck to hear that it was on a new bike.

 

Damage doesn't look like much, maybe $1000? Or is there damage to the tank too ($800)? Good luck with the insurance company. Agreed that you should have them order parts and ride it until they're in.

We just got home from Don's and then I read this.

I am so glad you and Becky are fine. I am also so sorry about your new bike. It sure is a beautiful one.

DANG Bob! We just got home about 45 minutes ago and I just fired this thing up and yours was the first post! Glad you and Becky are alright, sorry to hear about that new steed. We stayed freeway the whole way to alleviate that situation. We thought about bringing 52 up from Cincinnati but just stayed on 74.

 

Talk to ya later, gotta go get something to eat.

The main thing is you two are ok, the bike can be fixed. That's tough on a brand new bike though, sorry.

[Guest ReinyRooster]

Bobby, that's NOT how to "break" in a new bike! Glad to hear you guys are O.K.

[SteveB]

Glad that you all okay, like others have said the bike can be fixed of replaced.

If you wanted to hunt deer I would suggest using a gun or I prefer bow and arrow. Using your bike is cheating.

Hope you get everything fixed soon and are back on the bike. Be safe

[mraf]

Sorry the deer was put down. Now we'll have to train another one. They are trained to only scare 2nd gen riders not get in the way. One less deer. Thanx. Stop in.

[RedRocket]

Lucky you. Sounds like you should just fix it yourself.

[Freebird]

Really sorry to hear this news. I always worry until everybody gets home after any of our events. Sounds like you handled the situation well and I'm happy to hear that you are both safe.

Bob and Becky,

That had to be really scary, and really sad! I, too am glad you are okay! Whatever you did to stay up, was excellent. Most don't do so well against deer.

I enjoyed meeting you at Don's and in the Walmart parking lot. I look forward to meeting again.

Good job, Bob, Good Job!

Wow Bobo..glad to see you all came out of this unhurt. Could have been a lot worse. Glad it wasnt. Hang in there.

[sleepy2]

Just got on computer now. Sorry to hear about bike and VERY glad you and missus are fine!!!!!! Good luck with fixing new bike.

[az1103]

Sorry to hear that !! Glad you are OK....Did you at least get the venison?? If you kill it you gotta eat it.......

[Crash]

Sure glad you both are OK. That's terrible when this happens and even worse on a new bike. But it can be repaired. Better that you walked away from it.

[Aussie Annie]

As everyone else has stated-glad you two are okay :thumbsup2: Hope the bike can be fixed too. Have had a few close calls with kangaroo's over the years', sure make your butt shut with a bang!!:rotf:and the b*$%# things jump too

[Guest BluesLover]

Hey brother, glad to hear that you and Becky are ok. Bikes can always be fixed.

 

We were just up in your neck of the woods (to/from Americade) and did notice an extremely high number of deer in the area.

 

One of them (picture below) ran right alongside the bike for about 100 yards before scooting off into the woods.

 

Cheers,

[kenw]

Glad you came out of it standing up! Bike parts are expensive, but that's what insurance is for!

Allen, we were just up the road in Westfield where it happened! We went thru the center of town and I was thinking of turning at the light and trying to find your place before it happened! Shoulda turned...

Maybe you should have rode with us,,,,, we went through Westfield to pick Reiney, and then he led, I think maybe that was a good idea, we didn't see any deers at all, maybe it was Reiney,, or maybe just his scoot,, but then agian, maybe it was both.

[ddoggma]

Glad you guys are allright. I took a long ride sunday, 5 mins from home I pull around a bend and there is Bambi in the middle of my lane, looking back for the others.....

 

I saw some brown and thought it was a big dog and slowed, when I saw it was a deer I figured there must be more of em. I yelled at the deer and he went up the embankment and I continued on home. But, it was sorta a close one. Bottom line..... Watch for deer at all times and dont asume you can tool around free styling on them back roads. The extra time to react is nice to have. Once again, good job on keeping the bike up and not denting the wife up.....

[Condor]

Forgot your gremlin bell Huh??? Glad you're OK...

[Dragonslayer]

Yah!! Had all of 480 miles on it, just put the 3rd tank of gas in it...

Did you have time to put a Gaurdian Bell on the new bike. Sounds like you did. Glad your okay. Good luck with Insurance company and getting bike fixed back up.
