One less Doe in TN, jumped out of woods and head on with my street motorcycle. Bike totaled, and me almost, took the insurance money and got a P500 and happy again! LOL
P5 is more fun anyway and its blinding speed will limit critter encounters. Glad you survived.

Here's my deal
...know your machine
....be honest with
yourself about your
driving skills....
94.8% of UTV/ATV
rollovers are operater
error...
....FACT....GOGGLE IT

Maybe! As far as everyone talking about they seem "tippy".
Well everything seems tippy when you are leaning on a hill.
Well if it flops over, yep, it was tippy. Yep, I did that.
Yes, it was probably, okay it was, my fault.
I was going too slow as I turned up a slope following a trail.
But, I have been in/on a lot of machines, and they all see tippy when you are on the side of a mountain going sideways.
Just my .02

Far more 50" machines end up on their sides than do 60" machines. ;)

The DOW turned some wolves loose northwest of Paonia here in western Colorado about 10 years ago. Of course they denied it even after we saw the pups and sheep started to disappear. After I showed them a picture I took of one of them it was "oh yea we turned a few loose". Doesn't help the mule deer population at all.

Wolves need to eat too..
they were here...way before
we were...
Part of the eco system. ..
kept in check.....
