Duh!
Then I am crazy! I love looking at my dogs long white beard blowing in the wind as we go down the road! He loves it too. My wife has said when I take off without him, he sits and crys and pouts until I get back. He hears the Harley start up and he starts running to the door and jumping up and down. He is a blast to take on rides! But then again, I am crazy.

We have a riding buddy we call 1 Eye Leo. No need to explain this. He has a miniature poodle he calls "Grunge" who goes every where with him. He has a Bag/Pouch mounted on the tank. The dog rides in this. Grunge has his own goggles and wears a scarf when riding. Don’t laugh; you've never seen a Chick magnet like this! Leo and Grunge never seem to hurt for Back Seat Company.

My wife carried our dog last summer on a two week road trip. SE Virginia to the BRP, Smokies, Deals Gap (Dragon), Cherohala Skyway, Charleston, Myrtle Beach and back home. We have a Moto-Pet carrier. Four u-bolts hold in onto a luggage rack connected to removable side plates. The cage provides good protection from the wind and flying debris. We went through some down pours and covered the top and sides with a tarp held on with a bunge cord. The dog loves to ride and seems very secure.

There is a guy here locally that rides with his Chocolate lab. The dog jumps right up on the bike and lays in front of him on the tank. Crazy if you ask me but the dog seems to enjoy it. What bothers me is he frequents a local biker bar and is usually drunk.
Wait a minute...who is drunk-the dog or his chauffeur?

I ride to avoid pets and children, no offense intended. It used to be that a man could find solitude in a bar or library, not anymore.[sm=guilty.gif]

Me too! [sm=bustedsign.gif]
