Coming home from work last week I had my first street accident while riding my motorcycle. I've been riding a motorcycle on and off road since I was 16 years old so that's over 45 years of riding. I worked an extremely long shift (17 hrs.) and was on my way home around midnight when a mature doe ran full speed out in front of me. I was running about 50 mph at the time of the collision. I had no time to even react. I hit her right behind the shoulder and when everything was done, she was dead, the bike was totaled and I was beat up but fortunately I did not receive any broken bones nor internal injuries. I was able to get up and walk over to the ambulance when they got there. I've got some really sore ribs, a sore shoulder and a little road rash on my knees and lower legs. The ambulance crew and ER doctor said that they just don't see people walk away from a deer/motorcycle collision. I wear good protective gear including a helmet but here is no doubt that the Good Lord was looking out for me.
