Had An Interested Ride This Morning

50 years ago I used to ride my Monark twin in this one area that had a german shepard,and it would bark and come after my feet. So one day I got up on the seat and he didn't come out it took 3 or 4 times but when he finaly did I sortof jumped on he and he went for a rool. Last time he ever come after me
 
Dogs have chased and tried to ambush me lots of times on the MB. One bull dog bit my engine. He was harmless to me but he was a dumb roving idiot, so I let him bite the engine and the 2 dobermens in the yard were just watching to see the results. If dogs could laugh, they must have been.
 
Sometimes I just outrun dogs, even just peddling if i'm going downhill. but mostly i see them coming and get off and walk with the bike between me and them, and say "Good boy!" Usually they totally change their attitude and are happy to see someone. If they continue to be "mean", i grab my black golf umbrella, (which is kind of big but one of my most important pieces of gear), which so far has scared away even a gang of dogs. Mainly having a big umbrella has allowed me to make a run for it even when severe hailstorms are coming, and usually I make it to a gas station, coffee shop, abandoned building, and if not can sit on my pack with the umbrella. Not pleasant, but usually brief.
