Watch out for deer

[Racer Boy]

Since everyone is sharing their deer stories, here is mine. I was on a motorcycle trip in Utah with some buddies and it was late in the day. We were headed to the small town of Torrey, and it was getting dark. Since I only had a tinted visor, I had taken off from the rest of the group and was going about 80 - 85 mph trying to get to Torrey while I could still see.

As I was going through Capitol Reef Nat'l Park, I saw a sign that said "Cliff Paintings". I was looking to my right trying to see any paintings on the cliffs as I sped by, when something suddenly flashed by my vision. I looked back in my mirror, and there was a herd of deer standing in the road that I had just blasted through. It was dumb luck that I hadn't hit any of them!

That was one of my nine lives used up right then.

Garage still not done with quote. Still rounding up parts.

Not surprised with all the close calls. Kind of a way of life in Wisconsin and we're only 6th on the deer accident list. My brother-in-law was visiting from Texas and we were out on some country road and there was a warning sign with a picture of a buck and "Deer Crossing" on the bottom. He looked at me kind of funny and said "How do they know?". HeHe
