bUt It DidN'thyea:

Wifey left in the dark on her Harley Heritage to go teach school.. went her regular way after she got off interstate..out of the corner of her eye.. she saw a deer.. she let up on the gas.. it started running the road beside of her...then ..blam ran in front of her.. she slammed on the brakes HARd --and didn't go into a slide,,, she said another 1/2 second and she would have center punched it.. she said she was very nervous the rest of the way.. someone had a flag in their yard and it was waving.. weirder her out..

So glad your wife is alright and nothing bad happened to her, bikes can be replaced, but loved ones, not so much!

 

[Chupaca]

Wow..!!

really fortunate things went that way. Too many deer driver confrontations don't go that way...:lecturef_smilie: give her a glass of wine and relax some...:thumbup:

 

[Jeriatric]

Gives a new meaning to

Oh deer.

Glad it turned out as well as it did. :doorag:

 

[Roadster Renovations]

Not sure they really work, but I've got those Deer horns on my RT. That was too close.

 

[dadof4]

Well, you managed to raise my heart rate. Glad it turned out ok.

 

[vided]

glad it worked out well for you folks.
maybe this will put a smile on.

Glad she is OK, I have a set of the deer whistles and have gone by deer on the side of the road. The heads are up and alert, but they stand perfectly still.

They must work; I bought a set of "Elephant Whistles", and I've yet to see an elephant! :roflblack:

I'm glad to hear your wife is okay, she sounds like a good rider, and that's why she's okay. That is one of the main dangers of riding in the dark, or at dusk or dawn. The critters are out. I had much the same experience living in Arizona, on my Harley Fat Boy with three Javelina. needless to say I was puckered pretty tight.

Glad it all worked out on the good side. Deer used to scare me a lot when I drove in MN and WI. They were all over the place. Many close calls. It takes a good cycle driver to come to a quick stop without dumping the bike. Good for her. :yes:

hey from my experience most of the time if you make no change to throttle or speed .no sound change they will stay still . if something changes then they panic good luck we travel thru their home

We have some real idiots in this world. She is one of them//// The one on the radio station call that is...:yikes:


Glad your wife is ok:bowdown:

RE: The phone-in to the radio station.

Lord, please tell me this person is not for real! :yikes::yikes:

 

[jScotD]

Surely that was pre rehearsed :shocked:

 

[OldCowboy]

Naaah. That was just Michelle Bachmann being Michelle Bachmann.

Naaah. That was just Michelle Bachmann being Michelle Bachmann.

At least you didn't have her representing your state :gaah:

So glad to hear she is fine. Congratulate her for me on her riding skills :2thumbs:

The one I ran upon this week was standing that way as well. Only he was in the middle of the road .
