Watch out for the dog

Why are snowmobiles chasing you on your motorcycle?

I hate the little 2 stroke snowmobiles they are ankle biters

I have had one or two, just gunned it and never looked back. I may have even knicked one with once. Te scariest dog incident I have come across was when I came around a corner on a twisty in full speed and one was  standing in the middle of the road, causing a sideways skid and near wipe out

General consensus is to slow down then speed up again. The change in speed will throw off the dog's natural ability to intercept your path.

Been there done that. It was as scary as shit but it worked! I wanted to turn the dog into...


Yeah I wanted to use that bacon smiley.

I have been knocked off twice by dogs in Thailand , they kill an average of 800 people a year in Bike accidents in thailand .

I have tried several different techniques slowing, etc dodging , noise. once i just got of the bike and cut the dogs throat.

I have been harrased by dogs while riding my snowmobile.  The noise doesn't seem to bother them at all.  I just slow down, let them close the gap, adjust their angle more directly at me and then wack the throttle.

Maybe not the best idea in every situations, but most dogs are only chasing you because you're a fast moving object and their hunting instinct kicks in.  On a couple of occasions I've just stopped the bike (left it running and in gear) and they just kinda sat there and then lost interest and wandered off.  Granted, sometimes that's not really an option at speed, but in residential neighborhoods it seems to work wonders.

this is good .......... and you've tested this; and it works every time? .... LOL; and if ti doesn't work; theres even less time to gun it!

I have noticed dogs seem to go barking nuts with the Ducati exaust note all on  a leash so far, (and turned some hot chicks heads too.)

Alright Bono, that's enough out of you.  I tend to gauge it on the apparent temperament of the dog and my temperament at the time.  Yeah, it works, but I don't really mind dogs.  It's one of those crazy "healthy" fears I guess I forgot to develop as a kid
