Re: I fought the dog and the dog won.

Ouch !!! I can't imagine how you feel. I'm just thankful you weren't injured more with that landing. I would imagine there could have been an even worse outcome with more speed. Or maybe not on second thought. You may have just plowed through the dogs and survived quite nicely.
But it does point out that even a low speed get off can be a life threatening mishap. Just for curiosity, were you wearing ATGATT ?? I'm pretty sure you subscribe to safety gear but it may be a lesson for those of us who think they won't get hurt much and dress very lightly with no armor.
Do you know if the bike is repairable or a write off ?
I'm sure the dog owners are upset quite a bit but they should have more control over their animals. There lack of foresight could very well have killed you. Hopefully they are properly insured and take responsibility for your injuries.
Keep us updated and take care of the broken body parts.
