Something tells me the dog's name was Kharma
And it was a female |

That sucks. I've hit a dog at ~50mph on my old BMW GSA. I was lucky to keep it upright. Thought I'd need a crowbar to get the seat out of my ass.
Pretty sure that's not an interstate, though. |

Yowser, can't imagine the adrenaline dump of that dude trying to jump out of the way of that semi.

The guy leaping out of the way of the oncoming semi tractor was good. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
The guy leaping out of the way of the oncoming semi tractor was good. Had to be some pucker factor for the guy in the semi, too. My old man had a dog wipe him out, back in the late 70s, early 80s. He didn't get massed up too bad, but it did a number on the bike. |

"Whose dog is that?" Can you sue a dog owner for that in the country?

Whoa, got lucky the truck did not hit them.
I witnessed a small deer jump out like that in front of a motorcycle right at dusk. Open face helmet, guys face was ground off. He lived. |

Looks to me like the guy needs to learn to use his rear brakes. That dog didn't look big enough to flip him over like that and yes I have hit a dog while riding. It was a small one though.

Fucking owner of the dog needs to be beaten with his dead dog.
Pile of shit. |

Happened to me going about 40 down a gravel road on a hard tail.
Luckily it was a smallish dog and I was able to keep it upright. Not so lucky for the dog. |

they both grabbed a shit ton of front brake and crashed. Yeah! It can't possibly be because the bike hit the dog at all! That dog wasn't big enough to cause that. The second guy didn't hit anything and he flipped. |

That has nothing to do with the front brake. |

That was a full sized dog, not a St Bernard or an Irish Wolfhound and not a miniature poodle or a miniature dachshund. 60-80 lbs is my guess. That's more than enough to take down a motorcycle at speed. |

I hit a small dog with my Norton doing about 40 mph. Kept it upright but there was dogs shit and blood
all over the front of the bike. Dog lived. |

I saw a guy hit a big assed dog on a big assed bike once, he didn't even slow down, just knocked it out of the way, swerved some, and kept on going.
The Dog was chasing traffic and decided it was his day to finally catch one. the dog in the vid was road colored. guy probably freaked when he registered it. |

I love the guy with the sympathy wipe out. Bubba hit a dog, guess I better crash too..

"Who's dog is that?" Can you sue a dog owner for that in the country? View Quote yes. if your animal is in the road, and it causes a accident, your libel for it. just as car driver is NOT libel for running over your animal. i had a thread about running over my neighbors dog. a arfcommer who is a insurance adjuster, said he had a client who hit a dog on a new harley, fucked the rider and passenger up really bad... dog owner comes out and is screaming about his dead dog... motorcycle rider had to call 911 on his own for a ambulance. dog owner called insurance wanting them to buy him a new dog..... insurance adjuster ended up making home owners insurance buy new motorcycle, and pay medical injuries. |

Always be aware when riding.
I ran over a Texas Speed bump. Big ass Amadillio and stayed up |

That made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Just yesterday a squirrel was on the yellow line, he freaked, ran away from me then darted back just in time for my back tire to catch his head. Not 10 minutes later a full size dog darted towards me diagonally out of a yard, I grabbed a fist full of front brake and stood on the rear brake and swerved off to the edge of the road and narrowly missed him. Was doing 55 in both instances. Scary shit.

I almost got taken out by a coyote on I-80 in western Nebraska when I was on my bike. I didn't see it until it was about three feet in front of the bike. It was a nice sunny afternoon and me and the 'yote were both haulin' ass. I would have gone down hard if we had collided.
