this is the reason you needs to be a proficient swerver... and have your affairs in order...

Unfortunately,swerving can end up just as bad,or worse.
I just missed my first dog,like the camera rider,at full speed the dog ran between two gates across the road inches from my front wheel.My second,I dropped the bike to save the Poodle.It just ran off.The third, a staffi bull terrier,I  ran over the top,this time,braking down to 30mph and releasing the suspension befor impact.The dog rolled under both wheels.I saw it rise up,in my mirror, to headlight height to just miss my mate following.I stayed upright,parked and finished the dog off with my boot (to put it out of it's misery).Brick wheels are very strong.
No fourth dog,yet.

since i can now use the tranny room without jail time im gonna start wearing heals again... and perhaps a tacticle skirt...

it is recommended to practice at speed full abs braking... at speed full abs braking + release and swerve... and at speed swerve... amongst other vital moto control stuff...

id rather possess the skills and not need them... than need them and not being able to execute them effectively...

I don't think that you should "swerve"...Dude, you have it right.  I ran down a german sheppard and kept the bike upright.  I slowed from 65 to 40, let go of the brake, got low and back and rode it through.  A friend of mine hit a deer at 70, did the same thing and lived to walk away (to the hospital bmp).

That, and maybe don't ride 70mph in a pack ten feet from the guy in front of you.

Understandable that the guy who hit the dog went down. The other two casualties were avoidable.

Standard Qld riding gear for riders and pillion thongs, shorts & T shirts. Obviously never hit the road before.  :falldown:

Looks like he locked the front.  Not a big fan of riding in herds.
