Sorry, that didn't read very well. I actually hit another rider coming the other way on a dirt track out the back of nowhere. We only clipped handle bars, but it was enough for both of us to stack it. Had a chat, a handshake, and both rode of realising how close that was to being really, really bad.
Kangaroo reference is more because I've hit 5 'roos in my various cars. So I always think about hitting a seven foot tall 'roo on a bike. Just not going to end well.
Stay safe VFOR.
