Most probably be a council estate yobbo on a nicked bike. Won't find him, and yet more anti-biker sentiment.

I agree, not a motorcyclist at all.

Someone, somewhere knows this twat, or it's their bike which has been stolen etc.

Can I ask people to share this on any social media sites? Please.

tbh Aldershot people are fucked up, went in to tesco earlier with some receipts so they could put the points on my new clubcard. Apparently they can only put 2 on a day because people pick them out of bins Confused

On the other hand, who says this was deliberate? The owner? The amount of out of control dogs I've seen when greenlaning is ridiculous.

60 mph? Unlikely. Hitting a full grown German Shepherd at 60 mph would end badly for the rider and bike as well.

Something doesn't add up here.

Urgh. What does the owner have to gain from inventing the substance of the allegation? It'd be the other way around if it was a legit green-laner.

To non bikers, sound = speed. 60mph = WOT in 1st. Yes, it's a retarded thing to do, but bike thieves are just upright rats, and the scrote was probably jizzing himself from the high of nicking it.

Might not have been a thief. If a normal rider were going through there and hit a dog, there are circumstances under which they might not wish to stop. An angry and potentially violent owner would be one example. The funny thing is, if they did stop, and the owner attacked the rider and the rider defended themself, the police would probably accuse them of road rage and ask why they didn't just leave the scene!

Having owned a KTM 520 I'd say 60 is well over the mark
maybe 40 max

Unfortunately I've hit a dog before while on a Moto x
my neighbour had a collie that chased bikes & cars, it followed his grandson up to a local field we were playing in
I had my son on the back of the bike when the dog appeared running right at me
I couldn't swerve to avoid it without crashing which was not an option with my son on board
luckily I caught it with my boot or it would have got ripped by the footpeg

but it did fly a fair distance, but it got up and ran away, immediately informed the neighbour
who shrugged it off saying "Stupid effing dog, surprised it not been run over yet"

but if this is true and he did this as described I'd like to run over him
looks like a muppet anyway, apart from a helmet I can't see any armour Thumbs Down

Probably covdude. Did he have a knife?

Also, I bet it was more accidental than intentional.

Yup, bike was stolen. Not sure why that wasn't mentioned up front, could have been an out of contact owner, or (I suspect) the scrote TWOCd his mate's / dad's / big bruvva's bike and now they've had to report it as a theft.

That's what informed my opinion that it was a familiar TWOC with the intention to return it later.
