Now as some of you more senior (and I mean in time on here not age!) members on here know, a few years a go I managed to kill a deer with my bonnie. This meant I had a ride in a helicopter and a spell in hospital and have some long term damage I can live with and my bonnie was written off. :'(
Now I just had a phone call from a friend in Bath Classic who tells me on Wednesday night out on his way home from the pub meet, a deer leapt out right in front of him over at Wingfield. This made him lay down his Multistrada - which he has only had for a week. Fortunately he is only scuffed up, as is the bike, and both will soon be back on the road. The Deer ran off safely [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
At work I get to see the after hours call out log everyday and it seems to me a night doesn’t go by when there isn’t at least one dead deer reported on the highway requiring collection – and that’s just the ones that are reported at night. Talking to a colleague he tells me it is the rutting season and the deer are especially stupid at the moment as they have other things on their mind than dodging bikes. :o
We do have an amazing amount of deer in Wiltshire, so I want you all to take care and not kill them – unless it’s planned and preferably with a gun. Using a bike is not recommended. So take care out there people, especially at dusk when the deer are most likely to be moving about.
Stay safe 8-)
