The few recent ones have been animal related. I was riding through a blind curve with heavy bushes and trees along it. As I was going about 25 through it, a cat jumps out and casuses me to slam and slide out. Got some bad road rash, but nothing broken. DIdn't hit the cat. Damn thing

Another time a squirrel jump out and tried to run out in front of me. They tell you to hold your line but I was going to fast for the poor guy and I hit him head on. It bucked me. Road rash again but nothing bad.

Both of these on the roadie. Nothing wrong with that bike, but I have lots of gashes in my (at the time) brand new selle italia flite.

Also have had some really close calls with a couple car doors.
