sorry to hear this. Heal up quickly.

HOLY CRAP!!!! That really sucks!
Heal quickly and thoroughly. Busted ribs SUCK!!

worth repeating.
Be careful out there dudes!

A deer tried (and damn near succeeded in) killing SoPaRider right by Long Pine Run reservoir. Caved in his chest.

What we do, as motorcycle riders, is dangerous. I'm still gonna go out there in an hour or so and push that button. Even a short commute on a motorcycle is often the best time I'll have all day.

That does SUCK! Hoping you heal good and fast. We all have to be Bambi aware but to be more proactive we all must eat more deer jerky... Hear that H14

Jax on a much lighter note, there will be cupcakes in the media library today and you know they won't last long.

Ouch ouch ouch! Heal well, and start moving your joints as soon as the doc tells you. Ya gotta be in shape for your next ride!

Fred

Take care and heal fast. Glad to hear you were wearing good protective gear. I have learned my lesson and wear mine 95% of the time now.
Jim

Ouch! I feel your pain because it happened to me last October. Be patient because it is a slow healing process.

I'm on for this Thursday 6:00.

Welcome to the club! I was flown out of michaux to Hershey the week before.

Did you get a hat from the copter crew? I was told they used to do that. I didn't get a hat. :-(

I'm going to try and make this weeds ride to .

Bloody hell..... Are you okay?

I'm starting to rethink riding in Michaux. :huh

Was yours from a deer too?

Maybe we need to organize an ADV deer hunt in Michaux to make things safer for us...

No hat from the copter crew. They were really nice though. They just couldn't believe I had no abrasions on me. I'm all for a massive deer hunt. I hope the one that jumped out on front of me is dead. I'm telling you gents, don't take for granted for a second that one of these mother effers jumping out in front of you won't hurt. It happened so fast, look down, look up, deer, oh shit, bam. And for heavens sake make sure your cell phone is in a protected place, and fully charged before you leave, or take your spot tracker with you. It's a deceptively big place. I was able to lead them right to me with my IPhones GPS co ordinates. Ride safe dudes, ride with a buddy for sure. If I could change one thing, that would be it. Safety in numbers.

I don't remember anything of the crash. I was on the MORE trail ride. As best I can tell, something went wrong and I did a face first swan dive onto a boulder or two.

Anyone else hit any deer this past weekend?

Just a squirrel. "If it fits in a skillet, kill it."

Fred

The rule of thumb we used to tell our MSF students: "If you can eat it in one meal, just run over it".

We are on for this week at the regular time and spot. Next week will be the last ride starting at 6:00 and we will start from the Big Flat ATV lot.

Since the Michaux Enduro is this Sunday we are starting the Thursday Evening Ride from the Big Flat ATV lot. The start will be @ 6:00 from the rear lot.
