I just bought a pet carrier and took my three dogs out for their first ride today. They loved it, the youngest had to go for a second ride. He wouldn't stop crying until I put him back on the bike. He couldn't get enough of it.

 

I love my dogs but just see no reason to take them on a bike ride with me not to mention that if I was in an accident there is a good chance they will be injured or worse and I would likely be kicking my own *** for taking them on the bike. The other thing for me is an animal is animal and no matter how well I train my dogs or horses there can always be something that makes their actions unpredictable. Last thing I need on a bike ride is unpredictable behavior from my dog at the wrong time.
I have nothing against folks that carry their dog on a ride, its just not for me. As a side note my dogs are English Labs and would want to take up the entire seat

 

I forgot to mention they are in a harness attached to a very short leash to prevent them from getting anymore than their head and front paws out. I would hate to have one hanging by the leash or worse.

 

We have a cat that skittish, so never.

 

Our St Bernard? Not happening. Lol.
Our crazy inbred beagle? Good luck.
The Chihuahua Min Pin mix. He'd have a heart attack.
The Pit Bull. He'd love it but he'd want to be in my lap.

There's a guy around here has a giant poodle. He just jumps on the back seat and puts his paws on the guys back and away they go.

Pretty cool.

 

I'll bet my little buddy would absolutely love that.

 

Maybe he or she would prefer a basket on the front fairing for a better view
JK

 

For that reason I won`t take my Jack Russell, a very active dog, on a motorcycle ride either. Now, he`s in my car anytime I go anywhere that I can take a dog.....

 

Yep my lab often rides in the truck if I am going somewhere that he can go in or if I am just running an errand where I know I will only be parked a few minutes. However he does get lots of rides in the woods and pastures in the back of the Yamaha Rhino
