re boom dog attack azw aber ac uk andy woodward writes better still reverse this sequence then hit the bugger under accelleration to stabilise yourself i hate things that attack me if the dog thinks you have run away it has established dominance over these funny noisy sheep things and will attack every bike that comes along for the fun of it if you can hurt the bugger it learns that it is below bikes in the peck order and you may have saved the life of a future biker whose evasive action to avoid the dog might otherwise put him under a truck never avoid a dog for the dog s sake only you re own i hate to admit this but there does seem to be some sort of twisted logic to this approach it s the bikers against the world and the dogs are just another worthless adversary so remember to wear at least calf height leather boots in case the dog gets lucky and sinks his teeth into your attacking foot and go for the gusto if that dog doesn t retreat from the street with his tail between his legs next time you see it then you really haven t done your bit for all your fellow bikers this also applies in cages sorry i can t go this far a dog against and armored cage just doesn t seem like a fair fight if the dog is out of control it is a menace to all road users and no compunction should be felt if ensuring your safety means the destruction of it s after all it is forcing the game not you after all it is a dog eat dog world dave
