Seaking Posted July 22, 2008 #1 Posted July 22, 2008 This true story woke me up in a hurry the other night. (not that I was sleepy but geesus!!) I was riding down the back road late one night behind our air base, and after a quick scan to the front I glanced over to the left side to see if anything was flying etc.. whew I looked out to the front again, I noticed a golden glow to my right side.. eh?? What's that then? A freaking deer was running alongside the bike on the shoulder, holding speed with me and not looking overly stressed out or anything.. I'm not sure how long we were running alongside each other like that but I suddenly woke up realizing that this animal could veer to the left, cut across and we'd both be arse over tea kettle.. So I don't know why I did it, but I reach out with my right foot and gently pushed the deer into the ditch where it then ran off into the woods lol.. Give me a break.. I slowed the bike down so I could pull over for a stop and a car pulled up beside me.. three people rolled out of the car, laughing so hard they could barely walk, clutching their sides and doing the "I can't hold it in" walk.. Apparently from behind, the whole scene was ridiculously funny.. they said they saw the deer jump out of the ditch as I went by and saw the car so tried to run up the road instead of across it.. (where the fences are) but because I was slowing down to look to the left the deer caught up to me and most likely found itself between a rock and a hard place.. But it was the gentle nudge into the woods that they found the funniest... And how was YOUR ride last night?!?!
sarges46 Posted July 22, 2008 #3 Posted July 22, 2008 Now that is funny! Scary but funny...I would have loved to see that! Poor deer must have figured it was going to be jerky soon!

SilvrT Posted July 23, 2008 #8 Posted July 23, 2008 some stories, even with witnesses are hard to believe unless caught on video.. and my gear was in the trunk.. ahem... well, thousands might not believe ya... but I do. (just ribbin ya)
oldandcrotchety Posted July 23, 2008 #9 Posted July 23, 2008 Oh I believe it. My area is heavily populated with deer. I see them every day, and if you watch them long enough there is just no telling WHAT you may see them do. One time a few years ago, I was standing along the creek just watching the sun go down and thinking deeply. I had been there, not moving for quiet a little while, when something nudged me in the small of the back. To say I was startled would be putting it mildly. I jumped and spun around and scared the daylights out of a doe, which also jumped straight up and then spun and ran off. I guess she was just curious as to what I was. Who knows......
