Back when I was 17 (i'm 37 now) I had a Honda CL360. Up until this time I had had many minor bumps and bruises from falling off my dirt bikes. My 360 was my first real street bike. I was going down a back country road when I heard a dog barking. I saw it running toward the road I was on, apparently to chase me. Problem was he got there before I did and ran straight in front of me. Hitting both front and back brakes trying to stop before I hit him didn't work. I nailed him right in his side. I flew over the handlebars and came crashing down with the bike on top of me. I didn't realize how heavy a bike the 360 was until it was on top of me. Well needless to say I got hurt pretty bad and suffer today with some leg problems that resulted in the dog vs. motorcycle. I am bikeless now but looking to buy another one. Still love to ride even after that scary ordeal.
