meatloaf Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Out cruising the Surrey countryside today when some twat drags his dog across the road right in front of me, of course the dog doesn't want to cross cos his mate is sitting at side of the road, so he just sits down. Now I love dogs and wouldn't want to hurt one but stupid dog owners is a different thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obriens65 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Shortly after I got my CG125 I was riding down a local road in Basingstoke when a twat called his dog across the road a couple of yards in front of me. The dog, being a good dog, did what his owner said and went running out into the road. I swerved to miss the dog, hit the curb and came off. I still have a scar on my knee. When I got myself off the road both dog and twat had disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Being an ex-dog handler, my pet hate is any owner that cannot control their dog. The biggest one being the clowns that get dragged along the road by their dogs. I feel like stopping my bike / car and taking the fugging dog of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Mine is when you get dog owners walking dogs off the lead next to a main road because they think they have it trained, then it see our dogs on the opposite side of the road and thinks I will go and see them as dogs do. I have had to step out into the road many times to stop traffic as the last thing I want to see is a dog ran over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabiostar Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 sometimes you have to wonder is the dog the wiser of the two? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Having worked with dogs for 14yrs I have no reason to wonder...The dog is always the clever guy in the partnership 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obriens65 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Pigeons , yea pigeon in your visor on the motor way ! now that's my pet hate . Have to agree. Never had one in the visor but had a big B**tard fly into my chest while riding through Kent. Nearly knocked me off the bike and left a pigeon sized bruise.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted January 13, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 13, 2015 Got to say that head butting a pigeon at 40MPG hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 But smacking a pigeon out of the air as it flies alongside your bike at head-height is quite rewarding!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted January 13, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 13, 2015 Broke my visor, left me concussed and was spitting pigeon dust for a few days. I would rather go without the reward as pigeon dust is rank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I meant smacking it out of the way with a fist as it tries desperately to fly faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I had a pheasant fly into me last October. Head on straight into my visor lol. Ripped my visor off, gave me a headache and killed it stone dead. I retrieved it and had it for tea that night 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted January 16, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wait till you have a flock of pigeons take flight from a field. Had that in my truck once, they flew at a diagonal and saw the glass as a way through. Like something from Hitchcock. Must have killed/stunned a dozen or more of them hitting the windscreen and passenger window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wood pigeons are one of the species that appear to be ever increasing in number. Used to clear my bird atble in minutes before I modded it to exclude them. and no time for grey squirrels either, tree rats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Riding from Corby to Oundle once and a herd of Reeves's Muntjac deer jumped over the nearside hedge, how none of them hit me I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
