RE: Biker Dogs
I have a buddy who had a Jack Russell Terrier that rode on the bike everywhere he went. The tank of the bike was covered with carpet so the JRT could hold on better! Whenever he would go for a ride, he would just whistle, and the dog would jump up on the tank, tuck up, and off they would go. When they stopped at a store or such, the dog would sit on the bike and make sure no one touched it. Dang good security system!

RE: Biker Dogs
2 cents worth?? dogs don't belong on motorcycles, leave them to home..nothing worse then going to a rally and there is some simpleton with is dog walking down the midway like he owns it..and what about the dog crap, do all of you fido lovers clean up behind your cur or do inocent people have to step in it? now don't get me wrong I like dogs, but not on a motorcycle and the little old man with a poodle in his lap behind the steering wheel of his car, ever notice that the dogs nails are painted red?? sicko people out there.

RE: Biker Dogs
I'm with the guys telling you "NO DOGS ON BIKES". I was stopped at a traffic light and a bike pulled up next to me and the guy had a yellow lab on a piece of pressboard rigged carrier on the back of his bike. The dog jumped off and started smelling my leg! He had to call the dog back twice before he returned to the bike. Ever since then I will NEVER allow a dog on my bike and I warn people of the dangers.

RE: Biker Dogs
Thanks for your comments but...
Add one more biker dog to the list!!!!
Buddy is now an official Biker Dog... I picked up his T-Bags Carrier today and gave him a ride. He loved it!!!! When he came home he ran up to the girl dogs and whispered (barked) into their ears... I think he was more impressed with him going for a motorcycle ride than the girls were!!!
Bud and I made a second ride over to Pet Smart tonight... You know where the Smart Pets go... It was funny to watch people in cages point, laugh and get other peoples attention to show them Buddy riding a motorcycle... The funniest were two old people in a big SUV that were pointing, laughing, giving the thumbs up and just plain having a real good time...
Anyone have suggestions on Bud's biker name?

couldn't find a girl friend? so now your going to haul your pet around..How you going to feel when you slide and go boom and you buddy dog is dead? how you going to feel when he barks at somebody in a car and the guy shoots him, road rage at its greatest?? by all means take your buddy in the truck, or vette, or what ever you drive, but don't endanger his life, your life and god forbid the person or persons rideing with you, because you think its cute to drag a dog along..to tell you the truth, if any of my rideing friends showed up with a dog as a passenger I would have to pass on that ride..and I do like dogs, in their place at home, hunting, out for a walk, with your pooper-scooper, take hin fishing, dogs in boats are cool, but not on a motorcycle..

Our 'puppy' Harley is a bit too big at 105lbs to carry on the bike.

Bear64,
Pretty harsh, man. Drawing the worst case scenarios to make somebody feel guilty for doing what they want. ("how you going to feel when he barks at somebody in a car and the guy shoots him, road rage at its greatest??" Now THAT one is out there...). The pet carrier has a leash retention ring. Certainly the dog can poke his head out, but he can't JUMP out. If you want to start talking about all the bad things that can happen when we "slide and go boom" then we should all park the bikes. Not me, though. I'm well aware of all the unpleasant ways I can die in this world, and it's not stopping me from doing what I want.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should agree. Feel however you want about it, no issues. But don't start tossing around "couldn't find a girl friend" insults and doom and gloom possibilities to shame someone for their choices. It doesn't fit with the culture of this forum.

RE: Biker Dogs
Hi guys,
just thought I d share with you Minnie, belongs to a mate of mine, last saw them both at a UK HOG rally, they were celebrating cause Minnie had just clocked up 10000 miles. She had her own harness and sits on the tank secured to Robs chest but with plenty of movement.
