Deer are a real danger to motorcycles here in rural Wisconsin, as I'm sure it is in Georgia. That's a good feeling to have, don't ever get lulled into a false sense of security, or something just may jump out at you!

On my 250 the ignition was a bit strange, I could turn the key just a little bit and the lights and gauges would die but the bike would still run. It was scary to be riding down the parkway then turn the lights off for a second. It is super dark if you turn around. I always felt like something was gonna ****** me off the bike..

I never really get that feeling, but when i ride by a big corn field in late july, i find myself fighting the urge to launch myself off of the bike and see how far i can fly over the field. Seriously, not sure why, but i always think about it lol.

LOL isolated.I've done that before on a dirt bike.Hell of a lot of fun.But hurts like ch!t.MC that happened to me on my blaster a few years ago.My light kept blinking out and I was getting it down the highway at 2:00a.m. last thing I seen was a black blurr and BAM I was flipping down the highway.Knock me out for a moment.As I was trying to get up all I could hear was something groning moving in the bushes and it was huge.Tried to run away but I dislocated my ankle had blood in my eyes three broke ribs,and a seperated shoulder. Hid in a culvert till day light scared and hurt.Turns out ole Bessie was in as bad of shape as me and the fourwheeler.That was scary.

I hate that feeling especially when you are at a light and there's nothing around....I'm thinking a deer may run into me or a monster....(see what we do to ourselves....we watch scary movies and get scared for life!)
