You had your trouble on Saturday, I had mine on Sunday.

Very similar speeds, very similar results, I just didn't bring the deer.

Glad you're noit seriously injured. Sure does hurt, tho, doesn't it?

sorry about the bike. Glad your ok. Perhaps you can resurrect the bike and still be 1 of 100. Also I hear  [drink] works for sore bodies.

Thanks to all for nice comments and to bun bun yes it does hurt, amazingly the little bit of rash on my knee is what hurts the most out of all the bumps and bruises...it is amazing to see new bruises appearing where there was just soreness...guess my body is healing  [thumbsup]

The bike should be totalled by the insurance company as the repair cost for parts alone is more than the cost of the bike when it was new.  I  wont be rebuilding this one, might get a used S4RS pearl white...I really wanted that initially, but got a nice deal on this S4R that I just couldn't justify the additional cost for the S4RS...Then...Now its a different story  [moto] Have been considering a Aprilia Tuono, but don't know of a local dealership to service..Hubby says get the S4RS once a Ducati Owner always a Ducati owner ( this is my 2nd) had a '92 900SS...hummm think I'll wait until I can swing a leg over a bike without wincing in pain.

Glad to hear you are OK.  Try topical Arnica (herbal med) for bruises and swelling.  Works awesome!  I also use oral Arnica for my trick knee and any other injuries like that and swear by it.

You did eat him, didn't you? For that would be the sweetest revenge for wrecking you.

[laugh] [laugh] No I didn't eat him, but the turkey buzzards did.  Where the accident happened is on our daily drive to and from house.  My husband came home monday and said there was a line of buzzards on the fence from where the deer ran out in front of me, and they were all taking turns...

Fear #1: blowout on either tire
Fear #2: Deer.  Plenty of em here in mid mo.
Fear #3: Slow moving farm equipment while cresting a hill (also plenty here)

Glad you're ok.  I rode without my gloves on the other day "just down the road" and I really felt naket.  Won't happen again.
I have relized all three of your fears. I hit the deer in my driveway (had a long driveway with a 90degree turn in it. I crested a hill ony to find a farm tractor stopped in the road. I skidded to a sideways stop and did not hit it. and while going 80MPH or so I had the rear tire blow out. I skidded to a stop on the side of the Hwy. Im so happy it was the rear tire.

To the original poster, Im happy to hear that you are ok.

I tore the ulnar collateral ligament (ligaments that control thumb - injury also called gamekeepers thumb) on my left hand over Memorial Day.  By the next morning I had a huge knot just below my wrist.  Within 12 hours of dosing with arnica swelling was totally gone.  I think it knocks down swelling better than any of the other NSAIDs I have used. It also makes bruises disappear fast.  I'll second the beer [drink]
