there are a few homes in rural areas.
if you're in a rural area, and pass a home, do you slow down?

Hwy 84 and 160 are both 55mph through there. 5 over the limit hardly puts OP in a poor light. Parents of children and owners of pets should be responsible enough to keep them out of the street.
My guess, a ranch dog that is outside all day 100% off-leash. Bound to get hit by something eventually. Owners are lucky OP wasn't driving a dump truck.

Telling someone who admitted to having a trend of bad crashes to ride safer is hardly dumb. Insensitive, maybe? It was said with care. I used to ride poorly at times too, that is until I was intentionally hit while lane splitting. Some people learn, others die or become crippled.
I grew up in a rural area, I don't speed, drive, or ride poorly in front of other peoples homes. Behaving like that and hitting dogs around my home wouldn't get you any assistance. That's the nicest way I can put it. :laughing I have the bs tolerance of a grumpy old man.
On the other side of things, I also had ranch dogs that were allowed outside. I'd never let them off the property and wouldn't allow the neighbors dogs to wander either. Both sides of this collision were avoidable.

My son hit a mastiff on his Ninja 250 a few years ago on a one lane rd going about 25mph. CHP was on scene, a report was made and insurance was exchanged. When the dog owner's insurance contacted the dog owner, he denied that it was his dog. Then I was told I was out of luck. I pointed out that the CHP report had a statement from the homeowner admitting it was his dog. They replied by saying " Just because that's what it on the report, doesn't mean it happened" We got a lawyer and after a few months of battling, the insurance wanted to go to a trial. The lawyer then said it wasn't worth their time to go after a $3800 medical bill. I'm thinking the medical bill got paid behind the scenes or written off because I have not seen another bill since then. Moral of the story- Have full coverage and med pay if possible. Sucks that you have to deal with it, best of luck.
