Default Riding again.

Hey guys, I'm a first time poster. I have been reading for awhile and have learned some useful stuff. I thought I might share my recent experience with you. I've been riding for about 7 years. Last September, I hit an 8 pt buck with my cruiser going about 50 on a country road. I was only wearing athletic shorts, sandals, and a T-shrit. I lost many teeth, fractured a vertebrate, had my arm stabbed by the deer's antlers, and lots of road rash. But my helmet saved my life. In the past 6 months, I have been fixing my bike anxiously awaiting to get back on the road again. Today, I finally finished fixing it and took it out on the road. Let me tell you, it was definitely the best feeling I've had since my freshman prom . I can't wait to go on a long ride this summer.
