Think about it. What would that accomplish except for maybe getting bitten.

Personally, I would have went back to check on the dog.

But I too would probably have just wanted to get to Dad's house and have a stiff drink...or something.

Harleyjammer,
Glad you're OK. I guess there's only one thing you can say... dog gone it!! I get flashed all the time on my Ultra. I installed the HID headlight, and it really lights up the night. It is aimed correctly (by the dealer), and I have people flash me all the time. I just wave at them, and say to myself "thanks, you noticed me". You could also say "yep, light still works". I can't dim... if I hit the switch, then they get the brights.
Russl179,
Domestic animal in road... owners fault... PERIOD. Duck, moose, deer, bear.. whatever... just bad luck.

RE: I HIT A DOG!!!!!
When I got my first bike, I got chased by a German Shepard up the street 2 or 3 times a day.Fortunately, the throttle was usually enough to get away from him. After a few close calls and a heated discussion with his owner, I had to try something to stop it.
I headed up the street and here he comes, his owner sitting on a lawn chair laughing like crazy. I slowed a bit and he's coming at me from about the 10 o'clock position. One swift kick under the jaw send him rolling.
The bad news is I thought I broke my ankle (sore for a month), and the guy called the cops. The good news is that from that time on, the dog ran in the back yard whenever he heard a motorcycle and the guy got a fine when the cops showed up.
I do NOT recommend trying to kick an animal the size of a German Shepard (maybe one of those little rat dogs would be ok).

Good thing you're okay. Knock on wood, no dogs or deer. Almost hit a squirrel the other day.

RE: I HIT A DOG!!!!!
You hit a dog with your hog? Glad you're ok.
I live in a part of Austin that has a problem with too many deer, soI know my time is coming.
That being said, I carry a buck knife with me at all times in case that I'm still able to go back and get some good backstrap.
Not trying to make light of what happened, obviously. I'm glad you survived. Bummer about the dog.
They can get away from even the most responsible of owners.
