Wow, I had not heard about Skip's bike accident. Danged forrest rats. I hate 'em.
Skip, if you are reading this, best wishes for a complete recovery and a quick return to riding and camping. I feel your pain, re hitting a deer with a bike. For me it was June of 1977 on a ride back from Yellowstone.
Over 400,000 accident free ( knock on wood ) street motorcycling miles since then for me.
Heal well, and glad to see you are back posting.
