Dog vs BSA motorcycle rider, near miss.

Please leash your dog, I swerved most drivers would not risk hitting gravel at an angle and 35mph.
While video taping a ride in 1993 a loose dog tried to beeline me but came up short when I braked then accelerated. I went back and tried to find address so I could report the owner, not sure his insurance would cover that but I was prepared to crash rather than hit the dog so it was not required. Not the dogs fault just some delinquent West Vancouver owner endangering his/her pet and a motorcycle rider.
It cut the camera out as I skidded in the gravel shoulder while lifting my foot away from the bite. Dog was lucky and did not hit my bike.

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.

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.

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]

No I avoided it swerving lifted foot to avoid bite.

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.

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)
