November 16,2008 I wrestled a deer to the ground on November 16th on Route 8 South by Dworkin Chevy Dealer.  A 180lb 6 Point buck ran in front of me at apx 5:30 PM. I was Riding my 2004 Harley Davidson Road Glide .  The front end of the bike hit just behind the front shoulder pushing the buck forward. The back of the buck and bike broke my right leg very badly.  I then fell backwards onto my Armored Jacket and New Nolan Full Face Helmet N-102 I bought in Lacania NH at Bike week.  I then slid a long time bouncing my helmet onto the pavement and testing my safety equipment. I slid across into the 2nd lane and then ground my Nolan helmet /Face shield along the new Jersey Barrier. I am Happy to say the Armor Jacket, Chaps, Full Face Helmet , American Made Chippewa Boots, Harley Heated Gloves, did there job and saved my life..  Mr right leg got badly broken and only a black and blue on my left shoulder,  I also am thank full no one ran my over during the slide. 
I am the road to recovery.
 State Police had to put the buck down.
