Damn dog ate my bike (again)

[Happy Dog]

I think you're leaving the bike unattended too long.

Ride!

Put the leash on him and take him for a ride! (Conjure up an image of "National Lampoon's Vacation"! :bye: )

Sorry to hear about your lost!

At least your gear was destroyed by a ____ dog :dribble: !

I recently (August) had to have my FJR1300AE towed to the local dealer to have some warranty work done.

The dealer isn't known for their competency!

Any how, they somehow got water into my Corbin Smuggler (never has happened in my ~40,000 miles of riding including through some heavy down pours).

Since they did the 3 hour work QUICKLY (5 weeks), the water got a chance to REALLY TAKE FORM!

They ruined:

1) $100 pair of riding gloves,

2) Transmitter for my garage door....

3) A $20 tire gauge,

4) Several maps I have had for years

and a lot of my time ... Now I have to tell EVERY ONE that if they take their bikes to Action Sports in College Station, they will SCREWED and the manager will make sure NOT to APOLOGIZE and inform you they didn't do it!!!

Best Regards,

Shane

Coupla years back at an event, I ran into a bud I hadn't seen for a spell, I was however aware that he had recently bought a new set of Langlitz custom leathers. There he was, lookin' spiff in his new hides, and when he turns around there's this ugly patch on the butt, ...his answer to my inquiry about whether he'd taken a fall was simply, "...new puppy"! I asked him if the dog survived. He replied that if it hadn't been just a pup, the patch would likely have been home-tanned dog hide!

Here is the culprit and some of the damage.

So, you have a dog named Jaws and a FJR named Milk-Bone.

I never thought you would get to see the fine potting job I did on your Heat Troller :lol: When you mentioned fixing your Troller again I was going to ask which end of the dog the chewed Troller came from I'm betting it still works.

Looks like he didn't eat much of the Loctite lube and left most of it for you to use.. (Good Dog, Good Dog!!)

 

[Fencer]

I never thought you would get to see the fine potting job I did on your Heat Troller :lol:

You may have a new market in chew toys with that "fine" potting material

I bet it still works too, but I haven't tried it out yet.

Got another casing lying around? nudge nudge wink wink

I also discovered he ate a wire on my generator as well.

It was nice being on a job site with no power

My Brittany is well training, but you can't have total control when you're not around. After he took to stealing my work gloves off the workbench and burying them somewhere in the yard, I resorted to the mousetrap method. I "baited" my workbench with one of the lone gloves he left behind (why did he only steal one of 3 different pairs of gloves?) and placed a mousetrap ontop of it. I came back later and found the trap sprung. No more glove stealing off the workbench!

The problem with trying to fix problems such as yours is that you have to catch the dog in the act in order to correct him. That's why mousetraps work. Or if you have a shock collar ( I have a really nice Tritronics unit), you can put it on the dog and wait for him to misbehave and then nail him with a shock. Collars have adjustable shock level, so you can tailor the shock to the severity of the situation. My dog has received full blast, yelp inducing, shock exactly 2 times. Once to train that it's not OK to chase cars and another to teach that rattle snakes are bad news. I don't know about snakes, but he hasn't chased cars again. Many people that hunt with dogs like me have such collars, so you should ask around to see if you can borrow one. You could borrow mine, but you're a little far away.

Hey Fence...Trade that dog in for a Chihuahua...They are short and won't be able to get up to the tank. Problem solved; no need to thank me, that's what I do.

I'm guessing, airboss, that you're all talk, and there's no way you'd part with that muttley.

I'm thinking the above picture and avatar are the real Airboss (...Airedale, Boss, get it?)
