Trike with Mike TX Solo Ride # 24

[@WanderingOldGuy]

I had to, literally, fight my way through Texas on my tour. Stopped off in Houston to stay with friends for a few nights; took off after an uneventful ride through Eastern Texas to Houston... I was on a Specialized Roll 3 with trailer, so there's no big acceleration happening in case of emergencies... ...and that's when it started. Going down the Eastern side of the State to the Gulf, it was a constant fight against wind, idiot drivers and dogs; of which I shot 11, got dragged down by two packs, bitten, scarred, lost weeks waiting for rabies tests. Almost got into a gunfight with one of the 'owners' of a pack of dogs that were his. Was told by a Sheriff that there's nothing can be done due to the idiot laws pertaining to dogs, there. Got a thank you and a hug from a little girl who had been attacked numerous times by a pack that I decimated-killing 5 of the 6 dogs as they charged and bit me while riding past. She had several scars from the attacks. The 'homeowner,' turned out to be a guy had buried his dead Grandmother out back and had been, for the last 5 years, collecting her checks. Busted! So the Sheriff and I became buddies and he became a 'hero' back at the HQ for the bust. Had to ship my weapon home before entering Mexico, a country with plenty of dogs, but I haven't had a single real problem with them and most dogs here are wild.

Wow, sounds like quite the adventure. Yeah, I got a couple dog encounters on video. Nothing to that extreme yet though.
