[QUOTE shellyj] As I am on the ground trying to get my feet out, this big dog (English Mastiff I find out later) does nothing but lick my face all over and cont' to bark and lick. The owners of the dog tell everyone this story as they think it is about as priceless as I do.

Shellyj - thanks for sharing your falling story its a classic. Good to know not all dog encounters on your bike have to be scary.
