Re: Lucky Rider

My Brother-in-law about a decade ago was riding a motorcycle he and my sister had literally just bought (my sister rode it the 30 or so miles to the house) then he got on it and rode over to a friends house, he started home well after dark and got about 3 miles from his house and a deer jumped out in front of him, the deer jumped just high enough that it cleared the handlebars and he caught that deer dead center with nothing but his head and chest going about 60mph, took him right off the bike.

He was in the hospital for several days, and swore he would never ride again, it took about 6 years or so but he got another bike, but he refuses to this day to ride anywhere close to dark (can't say I blame him for that).
