Hey, don't let me stop you. I'd still take that commute. I'd just be REALLY cautious coming through the blind corners.

The deer I hit was at a full run, and came from the left and slightly behind me across a field.

I was already hesitant. Think of your post the final nail in the coffin

Hope you're healing up alright!

A deer on the road or a cage on the highway.
There will be risks any time on the bike one eay or the other.

Stick to the mountains.

You may think differently, but I believe my chances are better on the freeway with light traffic. I'll take the predictability of that over the randomness of wildlife when my well-being is at stake.

Heh..

Come down to LA during rush hour.
I'll trade ya my highway for your mountain pass any day or the week :)

I actually have done LA during rush hour, numerous times. Splitting lanes on a V-strom was a bitch.

If I had to face that on a regular basis, I'd probably opt for backroads just like you would.

Traffic is barely an issue on my commute.
