I nearly lost my life on a motorcycle when I was younger when I struck a deer on a rural highway. I ended up in the ditch along with my bike and I was knocked unconscious. What saved my life was that a passing motorist came by several minutes later and stopped to drag the deer carcass off the road, and that's when he noticed me and my bike laying in the ditch in the tall grass. According to Doctors, I was within minutes of bleeding out from a compound fracture of my leg. My wreck was practically impossible to see from the highway because of where I landed in the ditch, so I count my lucky stars that I was spotted. I made a promise with the big guy upstairs to never ride a motorcycle again, and I haven't touched one since. That was many years ago.
