Saved by a cop

[johniew398]

Just went out for a Saturday afternoon drive. The local PD has been running radar all day and I knew it so I made sure I was doing 40 approaching him, I caught something out of the corner of my eye and only had time to lift off the gas before a deer darted in front of us. I just clipped him and didn't leave any marks on the ACR. Could have been worse.

Luckily nothing happened, but on the other hand, when you drove it like you should, you would have passed before the deer would even think about passing.

But then he would have gotten a ticket! (Got one last week )

Could have given you a summons for poaching........from your state...

Contact Arkansas Fish and Game Commission

All in fun. Glad you and the car are ok.

The exterior turned out fine but I bet you need a new drivers seat now.
Glad you, the car, and the deer are all good.

Lucky you

Hitting a deer or elk is not a good situation. If direct hit, the animal can flip with the hooves coming through the windshield first. You can lose your head if that happens.

Had a buddy hit a cow a while back and it went through the windshield a$$ first and ended up crapping in his lap.

I hit a deer on my Harley last summer. That stung a bit. Compound Tib-Fib. Sure showed that deer though. Kilt im ded!! LOL But, that is alot of the reason wifey and I are thinking Viper instead of Harleys for weekend trips, etc. Warmer, quieter, and... more importantly..... safer. I dont feel like bleeding and saying ouch again. ha ha!

 

[Bad Asp 06]

Good choice, but the viper goes through A LOT more gas than any Harley with a bullet hole through the tank. LOL.

i vote for the viper over the harley.....but then again I don't know how to ride
