I looked that up, interesting bike glad you got it fixed up. Isn’t that an upgrade, when you came to visit once didn’t you have basically a moped?Good Morning : My Lil PeepHoles.!!
Des Moines has a lot going on this week - weekend.
Wakonda CC has the yearly Senior Pro Tour starting today. My grandson & I have tickets. We shall see.
It's only 2 blocks over from where I/we live - so it's right there.
-======================================-
Gotta go get my bike from the Omaha/Council Bluffs dealership that did the estimate.
Oh -- I didn't tell ya about that.?
Well on my return trip from Salida CO to Des Moines [about 20 minutes into the 820 mile ride back home and the end of a 3200 mile week trip] 20 deer ran from behind me @ the 4:00 o'clock position heading on a dead sprint to the 10:00 o'clock position.
I almost made it past #1 who was leading the pack as I steadily rode to the left hand lane on 285..behind #1 was #2 and outside of #2 was #3. As they group neared #3 bumped #2 into my right side fairing of my 2 month old new Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition.!!
Fairing has a hole the size of my head but no internals were damaged.
I amazingly kept it upright.
I assessed the damage and continued to ride the 800 miles home stopping frequently to assess any leaks etc.
Taped up the coolant reservoir to hold it more solidly and made it home.
$1400 later and a 3 months wait for the needed parts I get to ride my new girl back to Iowa from Omaha area tomorrow morning looking just like it went to them 2 days ago.
YAY....I think.
I am counting my blessings, of course - knowing that I have no idea how I kept the scoot upright with that gaggle of 150-180# deer bearing down on me.
I didn't get hurt either - so a lot of plusses and 1 minus....it's all good - it's just parts.
