    John vs dog

    John has just informed me by text that he crashed into a dog and to post it on Kiwibiker.

    100kmh and a dog runs out in front.. 'they' (not sure who) are now tracking down the dog's owner (apparently a hunter) so they can pay for new fairings and other damaged parts etc.. not sure what process this will go though.

    Apart from this I don't know much more except that John wanted all the Whangarae people to know!

    He is fine apart from 2 popped knees (sadly this has happened before on bikes ).

    Hopefully he will be on tonight to post the whole story.

    GET HER AND YOURSELF FIXED UP SOON JOHN

    -Tristan

    Firstly, glad you're ok John (apart from your gammy knees). Hope you fix them, and your bike soon as.

    NOW
    Fucken in-bred, uncivilised, 3rd-world SCUM that think it's all good to let their dogs run around free. I would SERIOUSLY rather hit the owner than his dog (IF I had to hit one, and if it wasn't my fault). These sorts of people don't deserve the gratification animals give to us.

    I can only hope it was instant for the poor pooch. And to the hunter:

    Don't worry about it mate, no hassles. Just go pick up another dog tomorrow, fuck there's heaps of them around, you can let the next one run free too...

    Cool

    Yikes..... I do hope that John is gonna be ok....

    Not sure what you mean by "popped Knees" thou.

    Ummm did the dog survive..... ?
    And I hope that they do find the dog's owner and make them pay for all costs.
    As its not the dogs fault that the dog was loose, that falls on the dog's owner.

    Popped knees I'm fairly certain is the same problem where the kneecaps pop off and you get fluid buildup when they pop back in.... thats what happened last time anyway from memory.

    The dog still LIVED O_o!

    Fairing damage was all that John mentioned, so it may have just been a big long slide and hopefully not too much rolly poly from the bike (in terms of frame etc).

    He should be on soon so he can tell the story I'm sure

    edit: and yeah I have had 3 very near misses (for every day riding to uni this week) and from the looks of things (and the other crash threads)... not everyone is having a lucky week.

    Bugger.

    I really hope John/the dog/his bike are ok.
    Thing is, -yes the owner is at fault: but isn't it common for country/farm dogs to run about without a leash? Assuming there aren't sheep about, that is...
    It's horrible and sad and all, but how many times have there been posts on here about near misses with deer/turkeys/pukeko(sp?)?
    So what is different about nearly missing or hurting a dog? Is it because it's a pet?

    Just a thought.

    I'll stand up for you Jaz and agree.

    To be a proponent of the "Motu theory". John's in ability to stop or avoid the obstacle is not the owners fault. Put it this way, would he be going after DOC for his repair bill if it was a bird or a possum?
    Sometimes there's nothing one can have done to avoid an accident and that's why they're called that. But more often than not there is something to be learnt from it and some responsiblity to be born.

    Still sucks to hear you had an off John, more concerned about this talk of knees than I am about the plastics. Sounds like it something that's happened before. Hope it's not leading up to serious problems later on.

    Thanks guys and thanks dufig (trissy) for that

    Yea just a quick post, I'm ok needed to get an ambulance really but I will get sorted tommorrow, I couldnt walk until I poped my knee caps back in but thats ok.

    Sad thing is about the dog, it was in good spirts but I got real upset because I dont like the idea of hurting a dog, I have a funny feeling it will be put down :'(

    Lifes a bitch, the irony being I was testing my new XEnoN light bulbs, werent strong enough I guess, I will compose a big post after this for those interested..

    Think you will find there are laws to do with dog control. I>E MUST BE IN A FENCED AREA.

    I wouldnt have cared if it was another wild animal(i would have just stopped and put it to rest then made a grave for it), But I'd like to punish the bastards that let a dog go running down a main road IN a town.

    At the moment my mood has gotten much worse, If you badmouth me - avoid me for life. just a warning.

    I hit a dog once, the bloody owner blamed me for speeding, and as he was quite a bit bigger than me and I had only a learners at the time, I nodded politely and left.. killed the dog though.

    Mate, sorry- I think we had thought this was on a country road, and not in a town. In that case, the f*cker deserves to be nailed out in the middle of said main road. For a long time. Loose dogs in urban areas are a pet hate for me and, I suspect, a lot of us here- seen too many teeny kiddies toddling up to loose pitbulls... not to mention the danger to the dogs themselves.

    Really sorry about your off and for the dog, poor thing.

    *edit: er, danger to dogs from traffic, not toddlers. Usually, anyway.
