    Sounds like a scary yet exhilarating adventure. Yay for the springer, and good boy Deuce.

    Oh, yes I have brakes, brand new brake pads even! And a helmut and gloves. No leathers though. I have a cell phone, but service up here is not terribly reliable. Since I got the Springer crashes have been greatly reduced. I have multiple scars from when I used to take Kayleigh and just hold on to a leash--not a practice I would recommend!

    Sounds like someone was a Slow Learner!

    Maybe you should have stuck with the 4-Wheeler -
    greater mass & stability = harder to *flip* by a over-eager Husky!

    If you don't like the idea of Full Leathers - maybe add in-line skater knee & elbow pads.
    And take Tumbling Lessons - knowing HOW to fall helps a lot!

    lol thats a good thing to know! I have no issue at all riding with Happy and Misty as they are trained for bikeriding(I tie the leash around the handlebar) I have never even came close to a crash riding with 2 dogs and a million distactions, so I springer wont be of any help to me, however I have been looking into one for my friends golden, he is 100lbs of pure power, he does not get much exersize because he is a pain in the @ss to take out, everything and I mean EVERYTHING distracts him, he absolutly MUST mark absolutly everything, MUST visit and jump on everyone within sight, must hump every dog in sight, and chase every cat..I have been working with him since he was a pup, with no success, 5 years old and no training methods have even made the slightest dent, so since my friend and I bikeride a lot, and I alwasy take my girls along for the exersize, then perhaps a springer might help with Dakota so he could come and get exersize too.
