There was time I thought I'd like to ride with you on one of your trips. Now, I'm thinking I'll just follow along at a distance.  Stay safe my friend. |

Hey Dan, are you sure that no one's been spraying deer urine on your cycle as some sort of joke? Or maybe some bucks are just peeing on your tires when you're sleeping?  Sniff.  Well, you take care on down the highway. |

How many does that make?
I'm at 3 right now... two in the cage, one on the bike. No human injuries in any of them, but lots of damage ($$$$$).
Glad you weren't hurt (glad the bike wasn't hurt either).
Safe winds, friend. Be careful out there!

Dan, glad it wasn't worse brother. Safe winds my friend. At least you have kept her upright during these two encounters. I HATE FORREST RATS! I have pulled over and got a room so many times because of deer standing on the side of interstates even, waving as I passed.  |

Dan, Glad to hear your OK. I was out and about for couple hours yesterday here in Southern OR. Only saw 15 deer. Mostly away from the roads. None tried to cross in front of me. Maybe your should check your bike over to see if there is some type of deer attractant,

I'm at 6 roadkills. Seagull nova Scotia 2004, Jack rabbit Utah 2007, chipmunk Colorado 2011, 3 small birds Alaska 2012, 1 deer Minnesota 2015. That's hit and killed with my bike. Plus love tapping a deer in Oregon

Holy crap. I think you need to start painting deer strikes on the side of your tank.  |

Nice find.  I looked for something like those but could not find any. Just for humor, I'd add the one I've seen of a silhouette of woman pushing a baby carriage.  |
