What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead]

Well, a deer sideswiped my bike and I flew about 50 feet. Nothing I could do. I made eye contact as it tried to jump past me as I was swerving. The deer ended up under my bike mangled. RIP. About a year old buck. My LW J23 hardly has a scratch. I’m a true believer now. It’s crazy. I’ve got bruises on my body but the jacket looks the same lol. Damn deer. My bike is probably totaled though. LW hides all the way if ya ride folks.

holy cow, so to speak. Glad you made it. Stay safe out there.

Thanks all. Much appreciated.

Ha, no kidding. I won’t tell him about it. No idea if he peruses TFL. I doubt it. While I’m still a bit shellshocked what amazes me more is that the jacket only has a small superficial scratch in the lower back and a smaller one, not deep and hardly noticeable, in the upper back. When I took it off I was ready to see bad things.

Glad to hear you only sustained bruises and the LW performed admirably. A testament to LW's construction. Hope your bruises heal quickly.

Sucks that your bike got smashed but glad that you (and your jacket) made it out with only bruises. That’s some scary shit. Be well and hope you recover quickly.
