Anything I should check or be concerned about?

[fjr mississippi]

Just ran completely over about an 18" tall dog this evening at about 60mph. I heard a platic crunch sound but I don't see and damage to the feejer. Anything with the suspension that I should be concerned about? The bike seems to ride just as it did before the dog.

Whatever, how is the dog?

I'm just guessing here. 60mph feejer + small dog = bad for dog

did you run over it's head ???

did you hear a pop ??? that's the dog

did you hear a scrape ??? that's the Feej :blink:

only thing about hitting a dog at that speed is it can break off your clutch lever... :yahoo:

Check mounting points around the plastic, etc., wash and wax the bike, and next time aim for a cat.

I love animals, but in a situation where it's me or an animal, I choose me and my pillion. So I don't brake for small animals. I couldn't live with myself if Fido lived and my fiance or some other passer-by was a vegetable because of a crash to avoid Fido.

I agree. Tragic for the dog, but I place most people I know ahead of the dog's welfare.

You just made it! Had the dog been 20" or you had been doing 65 it would have totally changed things.

In my experience center-punching jack rabbits and other similar sized critters with the front wheel is a non-event. The time I clipped one with my foot I thought I broke it and am fairly sure it would have damaged plastic or fasteners underneath.

A dog is bigger. I'd check by pulling the lower front tupperware and looking around the chin area.
