90 mph + Just brutal....

This will sound dumb...but...I ran over a small dog on my GSX-R750...in El Dorado, Kansas....I was doing maybe 40 mph and he darted out from behind a hedge and I dead centered him....I literally felt every bone in his body break through the bars...I could FEEL it.

I can't IMAGINE what Valentino Rossi is feeling....and Sic was his friend...it's horrible....I read the article where his former manager says stories about Valentino retiring are false....but...I won't be at ALL surprised if he says "enough." And honestly, I wouldn't blame him a bit or think less of him about it if he does.
