I gave up mine for the same reason plus too many deer out.

I hit a deer less than a mile from my house. I lived near Falls Lake, between 50 and Six Forks just north of 540. We had deer like city dwellers have pigeons. One day at 11am, I was about to a mile from the house when one ran across in front of me. I hit his back hip with my front tire. He helicoptered off the road and landed roadside. I stayed upright and pulled into the parking lot of my kids school to check the damage. None. I literally hit him with only the front tire. Other than rattled nerves, no damage. The one that ran into the side of my Tundra wasn't as lucky. That one did almost 2k in damage to my truck. I knew to be on high alert for deer in our area, carcor bike. But it became the unaware drivers that made me sell mine. It became harder and harder to forgive the idiots driving cars carelessly.
He was truly awful for the Islanders last season. Bortuzzo was never fast, but he's basically stationary these days. But hey ... new market ... guy with a Cup ring. I get it.
I’m not sure how many more of these unfortunate tragic stories we can hear about and not be thankful and grateful for what we have. This stuff weighs on you just to read about from afar and you hope and pray it never hits close to home. I cannot imagine enduring that kind of recovery and still having the strength to look on it in a positive light.
