That one has been all over my Facebook feed. I hope she is ok, that was an instant wipe out no where to go but down hit.

For anyone in New Zealand, it's a good thing the owner of Rambro keeps him on a lot of private property.

With the ever growing white tail deer population in CNY, I'm thankful I haven't had a similar encounter. I've come close enough to feel the snot as the deer snorted at me, but no collision... yet.

We had a short stint in Australia and while I was there, I did a ride with forum pal thinpin who lived in Melbourne. thin pal took me on some really nice country roads. Along the way, we saw signs that warned motorists to look out for kangaroo on the road. There were a few occasions when we were going downhill really fast, I consciously pulled the brakes and shaved some speed off, because I was afraid that a kangaroo might actually jump out of the bush and t-bone me. At the speed they are going, it's no different from getting hit by a car. It's no joke.

Fear the Kangaroo!

That poor girl... she appeared to be unconscience before she even hit the ground from the first blow.

Ouch! Hope the rider is OK.
