First day out riding with new CF fairings on, beautiful day, awesome night,
having a great ride. On the last stretch home about 3 miles away a baby deer jumps out. Hard on the brake, deer is looking right, brake brake brake, swerve left hard, deer doubles back and jumps into my right fairing. Thud, I feel the deer bounce of my bike and toe but keep it upright. Pull over, cry inside (ha!)
and make sure everything mechanical is ok.
Friend follows me home and I hang my helmet and gear in shame.
Ordered parts today and realize how lucky I am the only thing that really hurts is my wallet.
You never know whats going to happen on any given day on a bike, I hope everyone has safe rides this summer and watch out for F%$^&*$ deer!!
