Pure Biking Instinct/Skill

[ZeroIndex]

Yup.. I reckon I have this.. <-- referring to title..

Riding down Blackburn Rd, Dinsdale today (or Irvine.. can't quite remember)..

Just minding my own business, doing about 30km/h hour, no other traffic on the road, me busy looking for my next address to drop off a letter, and suddenly i spot this brown thing approaching me very quickly from my front-left (diagonal), about 2 metres away from me, without 'any' thought, i lifted my left foot off the peg, turned my leg angle to the left a bit, and did a stomping action.. as i did this, i looked down to see my boot connect solidly with a the head of a pit bull..
IT WAS GREAT!!!!
this thing had it's teeth bared 0.5 seconds before my boot said "hello", after my boot finished introducing itself, a strange occurance happened.. has anyone ever seen a pit bull yelp, and then skimp away on the footpath with it's tail between its legs? PRICELESS!!!!!! :first:

and the best part: I didn't lose 'any' balance, and kept on my 30km/h way to the next letterbox :scooter: .. I kept checking behind me, but the sore little doggy didn't turn around to look at me once :yes:

Nicely done.

Expect a letter from the SPCA or whatever it's called.

[Ixion]

Ah. Ubiquitous Dog. So that's where he's got to nowadays. Well done.

the dog didn't have a Warrant of Fitness or Road Registration..

it's skimping away with tail between its legs were its way of saying it was in the wrong.. if that dog tries anything again, the SPCA will have to put that mutt into protective CUSTARD :D purely instinctive self-defence.. it woulda taken a nice chomp on my leg, and then I wouldn't be able to shift gears..

Sometimes,when it concerns dogs...we dig deep within ourselves for skills we didn't know we possesd.There were a couple of ''tough'' dogs (I could tell by the collars they were a special tough breed,possibly one was called Satan,the other Killer,but I'm just guessing there) and they would race down my drive and down the back,mess everything up,then come tearing out again.It used to really piss me off.

So,one day they come tearing down the front lawn and around the back.So I picked up a stone - and with a skill unknown to me (I throw worse than a girl,underarm is good) I threw the stone hard at the exact time they cleared the house.The stone struck one dog with that sickening wet thwack you know just hasn't bounced off a bone.They made no noise,just accelerated at warp 10 out of my place.I didn't want or mean to hurt them - but the suckers never stepped foot on my property again.

nice throw.. but yeah.. the effort this took.. was so 'effortless'.. it was like someone pours some juice for you, and hands you the glass, and you reach out your hand and take it.. that simple :)

Well it's a dog eat dog world. Did what you had to do - well done. Dog is better off, if he had got hold of you it would've been off to the pound and nite-nite. So if the hippies complain, you actually saved it's life!

Nice work avoiding a moving dog bite Zero, yep I agree with your statement. That musta taken some skill.

I'm an executive member of an animal welfare organisation (seriously) but advocate responsible dog ownership. The owner shouldn't have let their dog be in a position where it could have bitten someone and/or caused a serious traffic accident. Dog owners in this country need to take responsibility for their dogs. My dog for instance does bite (by nature not training) as a protective mechanism, she is a guard dog and I make sure she is properly secured at all times.

I don't know how I would have reacted given that situation but I'd like to think it would have been much the same as yourself.

I've tried booting mirrors off moving cages and thats hard enough let alone a moving dog.

mirrors are higher than dogs are.. but yeah, with enough dogs, mirrors shouldn't be a problem :D p/t

There are few things as satisfying as successful self-defence. Well done that man! :rockon:

How the hell do you people find this stuff, and now I just hope the hippies/ethnic/christian folk dont come after me for looking at that link.....

[Postie]

I remember riding past one of those little yappy dogs a while ago, it was just sitting there watching the bikes go by so i lifted my visor and started barking at it (like the idiot i am) so the dog decides it wants a piece and runs right out at me, thankfully i was the last bike so it didn't run in front of anyone else, but it almost managed to get its head under my back wheel.

[Squeak the Rat]

Well done, but you wouldn't have been in this situation if the dog had been micro-chipped......

[Motu]

I hate dogs that bark at or chase bikes - I used to get some little yappy mutt come out and chase me every morning.I was using that bike in my avatar,and one morning I flipped,and chased him! All over the street,then he ran home and I followed chasing him all over the front lawn,around the trees,ripping the lawn to shreds with my MX knobs.Finally he went an hid and I carried on to work.From then on he would trott out to the gate and just watch me go past...that was one sorted anyway....

[sugilite]

Well done, but you wouldn't have been in this situation if the dog had been micro-chipped......
Yeah, the dogs attack brainwaves could have been transmitted via the chip to a satalite which could then have taken out the dog with a laser. The pollies really do know what they are doing on this one :nya:

[Harry33]

good on you...dogs shoud be behind a secure fence or chained as far as I'm concerned.

That's what I was wondering!
Good skills on the dog zero, it's amazing how good your skills get when a piece of you is about to be detached isn't it?

Dear Mr Zeroindex,
My client Mr Cuddly Puppyeyes has instructed me to begin legal proceedings against you for the unprovoked attack on his person. It is not an offence for my client to cross the road which he was doing in a lawful manner before your vicious and unwarranted attack. He assures me that he looked both ways before starting to cross and that if your bike had been travelling within the speed limit he would have had ample time to cross safely. As for claiming that my client 'bared his teeth at you' as an excuse for you to assault him, he assures me that he was merely giving a friendly grin to what he thought was a fellow rebel as we all know bike riders are. It is not an offence for anybody to grin in this country as I'm sure you are aware and my client has suffered much distress due to your cowardly act. Therefore we are at present compiling an account for you to settle this matter with goodwill on both sides. At present my client is suffering trauma, bikeophobia, bootophopia, a bill for false teeth, is undergoing counselling and is booked for a medical examination re his heart. He now also has a fear of roads and loud noises and will never work again as a lapdog. Please do the decent thing and contact my office re settlement.

it's called 'knowing how to use google to find really random things, after getting a stupid message in myspace'

hahahaha, if he had just been 'crossing the road' at the rate he was running, and had no intention of biting me, he would've t-boned my bike right next to the footpeg..
