[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 758674, member: 329"] David, I hope you don't ease this thread into retirement too soon because you are providing some great insight and recommendations. I wish someone had an answer for deer (a year round hunting season and bounty until 90 percent of today's population is gone would be a start), I had deer whistles on my bike for years and found when I approached a deer on the road or shoulder it would: 1. Stare at me, 2. Totally ignore me, 3. Run away from me, or 4. Run at me. So much for whistles, maybe they help a little but I didn't replace them when I replaced the bike. Riding gear is easier in concept, buy whatever you think is best and write the cost off over the next 5-10 years. Good stuff lasts a long time and is probably cheaper in the long run, not to mention the obvious benefits of body protection and being able to spend more time riding instead of being home enduring a slow healing process. If you feel you can't afford the best riding gear, then reconsider if you can afford the motorcycle you want to be riding. David, heal fast, and stay current with your updates...and don't forget about Watson Lake! [/QUOTE]
