i paid 200 from kansas city to birmingham. i wouldnt guess that "estimate" would be very accurate. the more flexible your dates, the more bids and better prices you should get.

 

I think uship is the cheapest option. My friend that builds bikes, uses that to ship his all over the place

 

Yeah I'd guess more like a 1000 and is be good w that.
I'm pretty flexible on dates as riding season pretty much done for me as hunting season bout to kick off.

 

Well guys....hit a deer on the bike tonight.

Didn't post one.

 

That's not good

 

well how bout some details?

 

Side swiped her on a trail at what i'm asuming was at least 40mph. I was in 4th gear and had just set a wheelie down. Couple of kids behind me with no lights on their dirt bikes followed by another kid on a four wheeler with his lights on so they could see. I don't know any of them. They just pulled over when they saw me fly up behind them and decided to follow me around. I came out of a bend, clutched up a wheelie and set it down. Then cracked the throttle again to clear a mud puddle at speed. There she was with her little one. She tried to run out in front of me from the right side of the trail and couldn't accelrate to get away from the bike so she tried to cross the road. I burried the right fork and bars into her kneck and shoulder. She smashed my right leg and went tumbling into the ditch. I never left the rut i was in. Just kept on going to the next clearing. The kids were just far enough behind me that they thought I had just missed her. I told them no, I full on tackled her with it.

I finished out the trail and they went off to head home. I continued on a near by road and figured i'd stop and switch my goggles out to my clear ones before it got dark. Stopped in front of an older gentleman's house and he made sure i was alright. I told him what hapened and he told me just how lucky I was. He said his brother in law totaled a bike a few wheels ago when a deer jumped out in front of him.

There is video of all the blood and hair on my bike on instagram

 

You've got to let a brother type his story

 

I'm just glad those kids let me go ahead or one of them could've hit her and gotten seriously hurt.

I didn't know what I was doing at the time, it was all instinct. I just didn't want her to buck me off the trail and down the 30ft hillside into the creek.

 

As she ran up the hill away from me it looked like she had a burn mark on her side from my header. I'm just glad i didn't hit her little one. I know they are tough but god damn.

Be careful out there guys!

 

Wow, sounds like you got lucky

 

just cosmetic damage? glad youre OK. all ive ever hit is a rabbit.

 

Damn deer .
Glad ur ok man..

 

Thanks guys. I definitely don't ever want to do that again.

So far, the only damage is that crack in my radiator plastic where the bigg tuft of hair is. But as you can see, that side plastic has seen better days lol. It needs replaced. But i won't replace it without getting one the same color, with the same graphic

My entire right leg is sore a little sore. It feels like I got tackled by a linebacker

 

Damn! Glad things worked out!

 

Degreased my chain for the first time in a very long time and it looks pretty new now. Just in time for dirt and mud on Saturday

 

Man, this story could have turned out completely different So glad to know you are okay.

 

Glad to hear you are all right.
Head on a swivel.
You never know.Ride safe.
