Why is Jerky so underrated!? I forgot that it's literally one of the nicest leathers on any market!

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.

Glad your ok!

Looking great!...and cheesecake to go...

I'm glad you were not injured seriously. Get well soon and send a thanks mail to Stuart!

I did send him a quick email. He almost immediately answered with a very nice note, which he ended with the following- “this is the greatest gift a manufacturer can get -- a rider's well-being”.

Glad to hear you’re ok @JMax ! Nice that the jacket did well.

Glad you were able to walk away with only bruises and scratches. Biking is pretty much defensive riding but some events are not avoidable. Too bad about your Harley though.

Wow that’s really scary, glad to hear you’re ok!

If you wore jeans that were a little more higher waisted and fuller through the legs, like 501s, it would look a lot better.

Hey Merv,

You were so right on this one.

Realized I had a pair of Unbranded Relaxed Tapered Selvedge in my closet with a high front rise (12.5") and tried those on with the Himel Heron - great combo! Unbranded denim seems to fit me well...I like it, and it won't bankrupt a person like some Japanese selvedge. Went to their website and it turns out they now offer a pair of selvedge jeans with an even higher front rise (13.25"), so I pulled the trigger and ordered myself a new pair of those.

I'll wait to receive those, and then post some pics.

Thanks again for the sage advice!

Just finished some more of my artwork/nose art, jacket is a old Avirex, it's not one of the later fantasy map lining ones as it has correct pockets, no side hand warmers and a near correct style lining, scovill gripper zip also

Just read about your accident J. Glad you are ok. Most people suffer far worse when there is a deer fatality. Totaled bike, dead deer, and just some bumps and bruises to you. Glad you are ok. Looks like the j23 did VERY well.

I love riding from September till they salt the roads, but that is when deer are the most dangerous (rutting season), especially after sunset.

Sucks about your pride and joy getting destroyed. But......... getting a new love is always fun. Hope you get on the road soon.

Absolutely no one:

Not a single soul ITT or on Earth:

Not even their dog:

Lots of dead deer everywhere and my partner at work also hit a deer yesterday. In his car.

I think the bike may be salvageable. The bike is running like a top. Forks look good. Need new crash bars, handlebars, front fender for sure. I think the rest is good. Fingers crossed. About to do a virtual inspection.
