I hit one on Bullock Road in the state forest once, it flipped and tumbled. When I got out it was gone! Went into the woods and I spent 40 minutes looking for it, never to be found.

I was on the bike one night with my wife, doing home from a friends. We were also on Eagleville Road in Tiverton. I hit a bump and my low beam headlight went out, in the time it took me to flip on the high beam....there was a buck standing in the middle of the road. I thought for sure we were going down. After braking hard and making the right guess as to which way he was going to go, we kept the rubber on the road and came away with some soiled shorts, but i did have some fingernail marks on my sides from my wife.

Right across from town farm on Main rd in Tiverton,bolted out just as I was passing by.Flopped a few times and was gonzo.

A little damage to the door/fender,door now has a rub when I open and close.Just not quite enough damage,cost is below deductible.

If I literally had been a second earlier it could've ended up in my lap.

I had a Bambi run into my wheel while I was on way to Watch Hill. No damage but Bambi didn't make it...
