Uncle Phil hit a deer

I'll take a ride up there this summer. I'll have the NT broke in a couple of days, look for me in July, and I want some fried chicken at Loveless.
Loveless has kind of gone downhill a bit.
The last time I was in there the chicken looked like and tasted like it was from the day before and they threw back in the oil and burnt it.
I reckon I'll be here all of July except the 14th - got a doctor's appointment that day.

Sorry to hear you had a deer encounter Uncle Phil, but super-glad you had the vest on and it did its job. It's comforting to know all those miles I've worn mine were for a reason, and I'm with you on tethers vs programmers.
I had to have the zipper replaced on my Helite jacket so I have the contact info for the guy in charge of the US sales in case you'd like to talk sizing with someone at Helite. (Assuming you need a new one.) Maybe the pros can be helpful.
Get well soon.
 
Oh no - just seeing this now.

I sure hope he's OK - please pass along my best wishes.

I don't know if I'm okay at this point or not but I'm still ticking.
I may change my name to Uncle Timex ...

I land like a pigeon, then roll.....

Splat.............. ow, ow, ow, ow.....

Did that last year when I had a low side on a bend on what we call "Shell grip".... that's a high friction road surface coating.... still have no idea how I managed it at 25mph......

 
Glad you survived that get off. Or should we say fly off? Sounds like you didn't even have time to say "Oh, s**t!" before impact. Prayers for healing and also for your families emotional recovery after getting that phone call from the authorities! Was that a buck or a doe?

No clue as we parted company pretty quickly ... ;)
