Bad day for son-in-law
Our SIL Tony was riding his '77 Shovelhead coming home from dinner th other night when he had an encounter with a deer. The deer came across the road into the left lane and Tony changed lanes to the right but then the deer decided he didn't want to go that direction and started back where he came from. Not a good result, after the impact he laid the bike down on the left side, Tony has a broken wrist, broken cheek bones and quite a few cuts and bruises, some requiring stitches, good thing he was dressed for riding. I think the bike fared much better but is definitely going to need some work, but the deer didn't make it.

Godspeed to Tony in his healing/recovery.
Hopefully he got to have some fresh venison outta the deal?
The bike is hopefully only cosmetically damaged and can be made whole again, in time...

Beware of liberals posing as Americans.
Thank you all, I will pass your thoughts along. No deer meat kept, he has no way of processing it and really doesn't care for the taste but it was donated to their local shelter. The bike has already made it's way to the repair shop, so far it looks like around 5K to get it back in riding shape. Some of these older Harley parts are hard to come by and expensive. He goes back to his orthopedic guy next week to see if needs a screw in his wrist or not, if the bone isn't displaced, then just another cast. Nothing was displaced in his face, just cracked so no surgery required there, thank goodness.
