You go where you look ... so don't look at them. Do not try to kick them as you'll probably break your ankle (even in steel toe-cap boots)... or a few toes.

And if all else fails, make sure you have released the front brake before impact. You want the wheel rotating.

Perhaps you could illustrate for us, with some worked examples, showing
speed and relative position of dog ?

I'm not sure whether the size or breed of dog is relevant to the argument.

Though I'm fairly sure that:
1. Failure on the dog's part to check its blind spot, and
2. The risk of me being rear ended while taking avoiding action
can both be safely ignored.

I look forward to your helpful reply.

Just follow the directive of your riding school or do you feel there are situations that not even they can teach for?

What breed were the dogs you killed?

But you said earlier that with your "real world experience", you were far
more knowledgeable than my riding school.

Which is why I contacted you.

As for splitting hairs all I have done is raise a very big issue on the fact what they teach in riding school is limited to only situations where a rider has full control. That is maybe an inconveniant truth to you and some others on here.

Did you know that a 350 Chevrolet engine has a bore and stroke of 4" x 3.48" and has 8 cylinders?

This is what we have been trying to get through your thick skull for months now. Y yoo no rissen?

Nobody can teach anyone everything. But if one can be taught key principles, then that acquired knowledge can then be applied to similar circumstances. Have you ever wondered why even the university degree does not teach you everything about the subject of the degree you graduate with? They teach you principles for critical thinking.

You can never be too careful when you're on your motorcycle. Why, this guy even got attacked by a turkey.

Some parallels here with real life.

So you want to kill animals. Wow.

Looks like the turkey is about to bite the dust right at the end with the help of the caged driver in the white bmw.
Just never know what kind of crazy wants to knock you off your motorbike - even a turkey.....

But you don't think and you do fall off.
