Rocket 3 crash on highway

Cruising on Interstate 10, five of us on bikes with me in the lead. Traffic cruises at 80 to 85 mph. Speed limit is 70 down there. Traffic in front of me went chaotic as cars were dodging something in the road. Brake lights and tire smoke is all I could see as nailed the brakes, but not so hard that the bikes/cars behind me might rear-end me. Just as the smoke cleared, a full sized dog is standing still in the middle of my lane. I nailed at 55 mph, says the guys behind me. When my back wheel went over the dog, I went for a Superman flight. If I didn't have that full-face helmet on I wouldn't have a face at all!!
