thanks again all every day is better. one of the worst things is watching the temp outside rise to 60 degrees and know this training pilot is grounded

Beachy,

Glad you are doing better and getting the FJR back in order.

Very good news indeed. Just in time to slowly ride back into a new season. The best is yet to come!

Keep Going!

What a relief! Glad you're up riding again, but when I saw this thread pop up I thought you'd gone and hit another one!..... :dribble:

Wow Beachy, I live in Nassau County, New York and have never seen a deer in my neck of the woods; if you want to call it that. However, I have read some horror stories on this forum about all types of things that cross the road at the most inappropriate of times. I'm really happy that you made it through ok; you can get another bike. Heal well and we'll see you or read stories about you being on the open road again in due time.

Here's my all-time favorite in that category (Thanks and apologies to Nik Isham)

As we were having our spirited ride, something caught my eye on the other side of the road and almost fell off my bike as I hit the brakes hard and pulled off onto the grass.

This was what I saw. Both pics below were taken by Meor. By the time I got there, they'd already moved along into the jungle.

The sign says 'Awas Gajah Liar Melintas'. Translated, 'Beware Wild Elephants Crossing'. Actually, they don't really cross. They like to sit on the road, especially at night and early morning as the road surface is nice and warm.
