being a greek, I am used to those "beasts". Having lived in England for 3
years, I know, people in Northern European countries are used to see free
dogs just wondering around, so this view scares them to death. Believe me,
in Greece I have never heard any biker bitten by a dog while on his/her
bike. I have heard though many times people falling off their bikes because
they were scared and shocked by the dogs...

You wouldn`t think so if you had been in Greece. When Martin and me were
on
a trip through a low settled area in Greece some brute dogs tried to
bite us
from the bikes.First the 3 dogs ran from the wood on the road so that i
had
to slow down, not do hit them. Then i tried to pass them with prox. 20
Km/h.
They started running and barking at us and tried to jump to us to bite
us
from the bike. My girlfriend was screaming and the only thing i could do
was
taking full throttle. So we passed the dogs with many luck without got
bitten and injuring one of them. But in that moment i cared a fu...
about
injuring them or not. Face it, they tried to bite us from the bike.
That`s
no selfdefensing for me, and if it would, i care nothing about it. I
would
kick them first before i crashed my AT, my girlfriend and me.
But the best solution is a great exhaust. Martin was behind me. He gave
full
throttle in neutral gear and the beasts ran away. BSM Vampire =  The
Dog-Preventer.;-)
I got no problems with dogs as long as they don`t try to bite me from
the
bike.
