[QUOTE="Fly Bye, post: 1165600, member: 28310"] Wife and I were living in a mountain community here in Idaho called Garden Valley. One beautiful morning I decided to take a ride. While going down the road that lead to Hwy 17 there was a string of cars/trucks heading in the opposite direction. As I approached a curve, an oncoming P/U truck was carrying two black labs, as he went through the curve one of the untethered black labs fell out of the truck and landed in my lane. That poor dog landed flat on its side just a few feet from me. I hit the brakes as hard as I could, luckily I did not hit the lab, or lay down the motorcycle and the car behind me did not hit me. The driver of the truck did not have a clue that one his dogs fell out of the truck. The lab got up and started chasing after the truck, talk about a heart pounding experience. I was pissed and the adrenaline was pumping. My first reaction was to turn around and beat the crap out of the guy. As fate would have it there were too many cars going in his direction and I had no place to turn around. I am sure all of us agree not to follow any vehicle with things tied to a roof rack of a p/u loaded with loose items, however when one of those is coming in the opposite direction one has no options.
