This could easily go very bad :eek3. He was lucky he was not down after the hit and there are no cars coming the other way.

Full gear FTW. :thumbup

Pipe [rubber expansion joints](http://www.corrosion-resistant-valves.com/rubber-expansion-joint.html) are necessary in systems that convey high temperature commodities such as steam or exhaust gases, or to absorb movement and vibration. A typical type of expansion joint for pipe systems is a bellows which can be manufactured from metal (most commonly stainless steel), plastic (such as PTFE), or an elastomer such as rubber.

Wow…that’s intense.

Talk to usmc2801 about that, a deer jumped literally 2 feet in front of us on our way home from LVD one night on 90. I was the furthest away and it was maybe 4 feet from me at 75mph. Scary shit.

Had a deer jump out in front of me on Albany Shaker Rd within a week of my bad accident.

Took a good look at me, gave me the FU look and jumped off right before I hit it.

I parked the bike on the side of the road and sat down for a minute after that.
