Well, it looks like my trailer is needed to fetch another friends bike. Heading down to Zuma's neck of the woods tomorrow. Got a call from a friend that is stuck in Creede Colorado as he and his girlfriend met with a deer this evening. Luckily they are ok but the bike sounds pretty bad. It is a 2012 Vstrom 650 that sounds like the forks are broken and all the front bodywork was ripped from the bike. Looks like ten hours on the road tomorrow to get them and the bike home.

He had not contacted his insurance yet. He owes about 5k on his bike and is scared they are going to total the bike. The entire fairing exploded, forks bent the wheel came back and broke the engine guard cross piece and pushed the radiator back against the motor. No fluids lost. They hit the deer going about 70mph! The deer basically exploded covering the and the bike in fur, blood and crap. The driver came out unscathed and his girlfriend has a couple tennis ball sized road rashes that were not deep! I can't believe it. Luckily he was wearing a first gear jacket that I gave him because it was too small for me.
