Dog vs BSA motorcycle rider, near miss.

[999samuael]

Its a shame you kept on pausing your video on the interesting part, and it wore off all the oxide. I was on my softail today and dodging speed humps when my knee clipped a bush and yanked my pants. As only a few inches from curb I ground bike against it. Very lucky not to crash, but only going slow, different story if going faster..

Macintosh computers had a horrible refresh rate even a jacked up Radius Mac llfx with 256megs of ram and a scsi 2 gig drive array.

1993 before Mac went PC and ditched Motorola, this is originally cinpak encoded.

something to try if you see a dog that you think or know will chase you is down shift and once it gets close hit the throttle. Its worked for me but only if I see the dog first and you can't avoid riding past it.

[webkinzrockandrule98]

Thanks for the info. When I get my bike, I will follow that tip for sure. Once again, thanks

My mom and dad were on their moterclycle before I was born were just riding back to the house. Sudenly, BAM!! My dad hit a horse while going 60 miles per hour while my mom fell off the back seat and fell uncosisius. They had to go to the hospital. My mom also broke her neck and spine. My dad just hurt his knee.

[441rider]

That is a lesson incident I have avoided in my 29 years of riding bikes and never owning a car. I have left cliff corners at 70mph but on Kawasakis which cut down brush pretty good :o)

Just remember when riding a bike, you put yourself in every position on the road. If someone hits you or you hit something there was the decision to avoid it before riding. Trust your gut, if you have bad attention or drink even 1 beer no sympathy. Speed is unforgiving on the body.

@441rider Well said

[Coin54321]

heh, I was looking up these types of videos because I just had a very similar accident. I was driving home just entering a nearby town, 1:30am... going about 70KM/h and it hit me from the side. I tried to kick it away from me but it smashed my foot into the side of my bike... I stayed upright and drove myself to the hospital... I had to broken bones in my right foot. This all happened just last night (Aug 21st 1:30am)

[roldaig]

I hit a full size German Shepard with a Honda750 @ 65mph. Dog came out of nowhere! Tried to brake but hit him in the hind legs. Watched him do 360s as I flew through the air then all went black when I landed on my head. Woke up in the hospital a couple days later with two broken arms, three broken fingers, one broken ankle and a massive concussion. Almost died due to the head injury. Stupid me, no helmet on. Always wear a helmet! Took a year or so to remember what happened.

[health316]

back in the 80s i was doing 200 khm

on the Squamish hwy and hit a bull

moose !!! on my motorcycle with two

passengers on the back,one of them

had a bodyweight of over 300 lbs

we all walked away without a mark on us !!

[441rider]

All about mental attitude I think as well as impact preparation. Hope your still riding, see my early "Fine day" ride to britannia beach,

[hornetobiker]

You're a good man.

[shockawenow]

SHOCKAWENOW rates this 5 stars. Click on my name too brother to see my site, I like you also helmet cam.

[vesp33d]

Crazy. I had a basset hound do the same to me while riding my Bonneville, I stuck my foot out and hit it in the head with my boot heel to keep him away from my bike. The dog yelped loudly and it spun him out into a 360. I saw he was running in the opposite direction in my rear view mirror. Don't think he'll try it again. People need to leash their pets.

[alfzonic]

damn animals... i fall of a honda cbr1000 bcuz of a cat, i rather fall than kill a pet

xP :D

[441rider]

I agree, a pet animal acting without control is not to blame but if an animal like wild dog, cougar or bear attacks all concern for it's well being is secondary, you have to protect yourself. In this case the owner must have known the dog had issues with bikes! I have had a jack russel attack the BSA and the owner laughed at first as I skidded. Hairless "human" apes should not keep pets,

[alfzonic]

i agree with pets owned buy stupid apes, but in my case it was a "homeless"cat i adopted it XD. we should kick some apes ass when they are not givin proper atention to their pets

[RapFoLife]

Geez...I hope the dog's dead...

[fatty061k]

that same exact shit happend to me! but i was doing 85 and tryed to stop and wound up breakin my arm in 2 spots, my clavical in half, and three ribs... also got a great burn from the exhaust.. im just glad im not the only one that has hit a fuckin dog

[DIGIBOYTV]

LOL! LOok at 0:03 right at beginning of glitch, you can see the rider lifting foot away from dog bite.

[94z07]

I hope the dog is dead. I further hope the owner of said dog never has another out-of-doors pet.

[441rider]

I never made contact with the dog, wish I could have "contacted" the owner though.

[eltonrottanaama]

i hope dog is OK... 8-(

[cmoney106]

i hope the dogs ok...:(

[dioizdacrazybrattie]

WHAT A ASS HOO

[Mollweidekadet]

Irresponsible fucking dog owners get right up my fucking nose!!!!!

[horneto666]

Your reactions show you are a good man. Well done you

[441rider]

It's funny I thought that setter could reverse direction and beat the 60's scrambles champ 441 to the end of block. LOL!

S

-320lb BSA vs 55lb dog becomes questionable for safe roll over hit, if you check the vid "into the woods..." I actually brake for a crow using a crosswalk, I hit a flying mallard once so know what a bird that size can do even at 30mph. Flapping around between chin and chest ha ha

[horneto666]

I'm a biker too (Hornet 600) m8. Know what you mean about animals. I avoid them, all especially the dead ones. Tip for dogs in this situation: wave the nearest leg, sole towards it then accelerate hard or try clutching in and giving it an earful. Alternatively shoot the fuckin owner.

[HarryOnara]

Me vs. dog? - I would have run it over and not risk my own @ss.

[donnys04r6]

Dogs dont like bikes. Almost hit one last week cause some A-HOLE was talking on his phone walking his dog

[horneto666]

I know, one of my dogs tries to eat my tyres every time it(the bike) moves

[MarcineKKK]

poor doogie ! =[

[441rider]

LOL! yeah and that was when there was more bailing wire than fasteners on it! I was lucky almost anything he bit would have come off. So close to my foot I lifted it up to handlebar moving out of the way.

[giro158]

shit i hope the bsa was ok

[flyp1002]

My car used to get chased by this dog every day that wanted to bite the front tires. I'd speed up to cause him to end up behind the car so he wouldn't be hurt. The owner thought I was trying to hurt the dog, so he chased me with his car down some roads once. What a jerk.

[dinoa7]

Hello, very badly educated dog, happened to me also once!! But I had more luck than you! Greeting

[441rider]

read the info, I rode off the road to avoid hitting the dog. It was a bit tired but still chasing me as I rode off.

[worldpower1]

did he ran over the dog?

[441rider]

No I avoided it swerving lifted foot to avoid bite.

[ROCKO633]

@worldpower1 YEAH HE RANDED OVER IT
