Default Dragging the Pooch?

I know this sounds really kind a weird but, Oh Well!&nbsp\\;Let me start by saying I own a fabrication/ hotrod shop in So Cal. I also have a great little yellow lab that just happens to be my best friend, shop mascot... and so on. I just purchased a 04 FLHRI Road King and am having a hard time leaving "Lexus" the pooch in the garage. Im thinking about fabricating a sweet little trailer to drag her around in or a sidecar... Is this something that&nbsp\\;has been done? Are there a million of these thing that&nbsp\\;I just havnt noticed? Any experience with trailer pulling with a bike? Any input on this would be appreciated. [8D]Thanks

Not weird at all,, Steve Parks hauls his dog in a trailer.

My smaller dog Harley has ridden everything I own except my Harley, 4 wheelers, tractor, riding mower, truck, van, she loves to ride and feel the wind in her face.

I've thought about a pull behind for her, but I'm not sure about the exhaust fumes and noise from the exhaust, and I really would rather not pull a trailer, so I think I'm going to make a pod/container of some kind that will mount on my temporary t-bag rack that she would be comfortable in and not able to jump out of by means a body collar hook up of some kind. I would either form it out of fiberglass or sheet metal on a bent square tubing frame.&nbsp\\;

I would think a side car would be your best bet.&nbsp\\; That way she is beside you and easier to check on.&nbsp\\;
