[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3837507, member: 24583"] Yep, had a similar experience years ago about dusk, back country road. Buck jumped just up out of my lane side ditch on the pavement and froze. Locked up my Goldwing as much as I could, asphalt so had both the front and rear tires squeaking from braking. Was afraid to change lanes as he would be bolting in front of me if he decided to move. Not going to get stopped was running through my mind. Then as I was close enough to hear his hoof's scratching the pavement as he took off, prob still 20-30mph. Just brushed his behind leg with my foot peg, not hard enough to put me in the ditch, but way too close for comfort. Next day I rode through there and my tire braking marks were still very visible. I also have hit a fat June Bug square in the forehead I had to stop and peal off on a 750 H2 Kawasaki one night layed down with my chin on the spedo/tack area going through the gears at about 120mph one night. That one about knocked me off the bike. Yep, good old days. [/QUOTE]
