Remember, that's the way to deal with a _single_ dog. Two or more use
their pack hunting technique, with the faster trying to get ahead of
you, not trying for a direct intercept. Modify the evasion
accordingly.

The obvious solution is to carry an inflatable life size
motorcycle-shaped airbag in the trunk, with a 6 foot tether on it.
When chase by a dog(s), wait until they're close, then hit the switch
on your handle bars to deploy the air bag inflation charge, causing
the inflatable motorcycle to trail behind you.
The dogs will instinctively go for the weakest target, which they will
assume to be the read-most bike.
If you can arrange for a pork-chop-scented spray, that will help, too.

Great advice!
PeeJ knows these things because the only motorcycle he has is inflatable
and he rides his inflatable girlfriend around the trailer park and sprays
the trailer park stray dogs down with pork chop grease.
Yes, it's true I live in this big run down trailer park. Way in the back!
