Last year I had a lady rear end me as we were waiting to turn right. Only hit me at about 15-20 and messed my fender up and tweaked the wheel a tad... I was fine though. She was digging through her Burger King bag when she hit me.

30+ years of riding
Dropped, tumbled, spilled etc. dirt bikes (sometimes several times in a day) when I was younger. To many to count, only injuries were scratches and bruises.

Dropped bikes (as in laid down at less than 3 MPH) a few times. Hurt my pride each time.

Hit 1 deer, broke collar bone and shoulder blade. Some road rash as well.
