Re the ramifications:-
I would ring the woman up, apologise again, ask how she is etc
Then say that the incident highlighted the issue and you didn’t realise it was so severe. So now you will be looking at training or muzzling the dog is public, and wearing a yellow “give me space” jacket.

I know you would like to say “ well, I did tell you”. But that isn’t going to help you

Possibly comparing apples with eggs, so what are peoples thoughts on this scenario then (as it’s rattled round my head a few times).

I arrive at a pub car park, just been at “telephone numbers” on the dual carriage way to get the pub as I’m running late. I pull up get off, the exhaust pipe is exceptionally hot, kids comes running over to look at the bike gets told it’s hot and not to touch the bike but still touches the exhaust and gets badly burnt. Who’s at fault? Me as I’ve brought a hot motorcycle into a public place or the kid/parents for not following instructions?

Say I’ve gone into the pub and am unable to issue the warning and the same happens?

Motorcycles don't stick their hot parts on you, they're entirely passive. I think that's the key difference.

A cat did burn its paws on my bike exhaust. Which was a shame.

If the bike is a Yamaha XS250 US Custom, I’d have it humanely destroyed.

Send them a bill for educating the child and encouraging it to do as it's told.

There’s going to be VAT on that.
