Klim Badlands v Greyhound
Klim Badlands v Greyhound
As I rode passed a Pikey scrapyard yesterday, I had to slow down to walking pace to make a right turn.
A Greyhound ran out from the yard and bit me on the leg.
Incredibly my Klim Badlands pants weren't punctured, even though my shin was! A police investigation is ongoing

Re: Klim Badlands v Greyhound
Don't worry Mike, it wasn't in Cheshire!
I jumped off the bike and the bugger ran back into the yard.
I had a tetanus a couple of years ago, but the Badlands pants weren't punchered so it's teeth didn't contact my skin directly.

Re: Klim Badlands v Greyhound
Hope you heal well Steve.
If it was a greyhound - rather than a lurcher - it is most unusual behaviour. I've had greyhounds all my life, currently five, have done voluntary work in rescue kennels for years and never, ever, come across an aggressive one. If it was indeed a full greyhound, it would seem the 'pikeys' are most likely to blame. Goodness knows what it has been through.
Heal well.

Re: Klim Badlands v Greyhound
Yeah I was going to say the same I've a greyhound too, the only time he's turned nasty was when I took the lamb bone he liberated from the bin and then he only held on to my hand didn't bite!
Re: Klim Badlands v Greyhound
The pikeys have just sent me the vet bills!
The point of the thread was to illustrate the toughness of the Badlands pants, my leg would have been a right mess if I'd have been wearing draggin'' jeans or similar.
It brought home to me the power and speed of a dog bite. I wouldn't have thought a Greyhound would have been in the top ten hardest biting dogs, but the bite was so quick and must have been hard to get through to break the skin with it's crushing action.
