Just read about your accident J. Glad you are ok. Most people suffer far worse when there is a deer fatality. Totaled bike, dead deer, and just some bumps and bruises to you. Glad you are ok. Looks like the j23 did VERY well.
I love riding from September till they salt the roads, but that is when deer are the most dangerous (rutting season), especially after sunset.
***** about your pride and joy getting destroyed. But......... getting a new love is always fun. Hope you get on the road soon.
Fingers crossed. About to do a virtual inspection.
A leather one...
Sorry to hear this, I hope you bounce back from the scrapes and bruises quickly!Well, a deer sideswiped my bike and I flew about 50 feet. Nothing I could do. I made eye contact as it tried to jump past me as I was swerving. The deer ended up under my bike mangled. RIP. About a year old buck. My LW J23 hardly has a scratch. I’m a true believer now. It’s crazy. I’ve got bruises on my body but the jacket looks the same lol. Damn deer. My bike is probably totaled though. LW hides all the way if ya ride folks.
That, uh.... doesn't exactly narrow it down in your case.![]()
I see what you did thereOk, it's a black leather jacket...
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. Gotta make sure the frame is true.Lots of dead deer everywhere and my partner at work also hit a deer yesterday. In his car.
I think the bike may be salvageable. The bike is running like a top. Forks look good. Need new crash bars, handlebars, front fender for sure. I think the rest is good. Fingers crossed. About to do a virtual inspection.

Holy ****! You gonna be sore for a few days. Deers are no joke. Force is mass times acceleration. They usually do a lot of more damage to the motorists and their vehicles. I've seen accidents where half ton pick up trucks gets blown over to its sides from medium sized bucks. Glad you walked away ok.Well, a deer sideswiped my bike and I flew about 50 feet.

Just black? Not old-motor-oil black or Düsseldorf-highway-asphalt-under-the-walkway-at-night black?
Stepped out this morning wearing an original vintage 1941 Aero Leather Clothing Co. contract 21996 A-2 flight jacket with Buzz Rickson's Original Spec Olive Drab Chino's.
I’m all about earthtones… Olive drabs, khaki and leathery browns… But you risk looking like you’re trying to cosplay Indiana Jones when you throw on a leather jacket!
