A deer hit ME on Thursday.

Yes, that is correct. A doe, luckily a yearling, ran straight into the side of the busa on the way to work Thursday morning. I was in a wooded, curvy section that I always see deer on, so I was only running 40-45 mph. As I crested a small hill with a blind left corner at the top, the doe shot out of the right ditch directly into the side panel and my leg. Seems like most of the impact was directly on the clutch cover. The impact pushed me to the center line and rolled the deer back into the ditch. The good news is no broken plastic or bones! Looks like I do have a few small scratches now.. oh well!!

I am also glad that the board is back!! I didn't get to check to see over the weekend.
