Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!> From: jsheerin at hughes.net> To: ducati at ducati.net> Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 18:08:15 -0400> Subject: [Ducati] Draggin Jeans vs dog> > The short story is dog - 1, draggin jeans - 0.> > My neighbor's huge dog decided to take a bite out of me today on my way> home. I was cruising along at about 15mph on my gravel road, and it and> another dog come running straight at me, directly ahead of me.

I'd been> reving my engine trying to scare the dogs as well, so I think they finally> figured out something was wrong. They graciously agreed to pay for a new> pair of jeans for me and keep their dog locked up in the future, so the plus> side is that I get a new pair of jeans, which I was already thinking about> getting because my current ones are a bit short. The dog just barely broke> my skin in one tiny spot - the rest is just bruises, but I can see clearly> where his teeth where. I also found out that they keep up on their rabies> vaccinations, so I should be good there. Definitely a memorable ride,> though.> > John> http://ldsg.snippets.org/HORNS/ducati.html> > > > *****> > Our newest sponsor, MC Stands, has just opened its doors!
