Does anyone have a pet carrier on their trikes? If you do what brand and how safe is it ? We have two jack russells we would like to take with us.

 

Heres a suggestion I saw on Kuryakyn's website>> http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/3904/Pet-Palace

 

Here is a picture of a customer of ours from Atlanta,he travels all over with this dog..We dressed up this carrier for him,which he bought out of Canada..To me the carrier was nothing more than a leather Hat Box,with a Harness attachment for his dog..

 

How ever you carry them. Make sure to get them eye protection. Google doggles. Thats where I got my lab his goggles. Also. Just having em sit on the seat or whatever isnt. enough. They will want to lay down. Make sure they have shade to do so and carry plenty of water for them too.
Back when mine was a pup/ I used a plastic milk crate. I put a chain in the floor and made it the length that he could sit up and even stand. But dont make it so long that they can get their paws (nails) on your paint job. If you use the crate idea. That will have plenty of ventilation. I also put that black Styrofoam pipe insulation on the edges on the top so if he hit his jaw on the crate from a bump he wouldnt get harmed.

Since then my lab is 85 lbs now and still loves to ride. I modified the trailer I pull with my trike so he can again ride with me.

Thanks for the cool ideas. I really like the trailer since I have two dogs. Something likes that would be perfect for them. Just need to talk hubby into the cost of something like that.

 

Look at Waggs trailer. Build for Pets

 

Not flaming but I think it is dangerous as hell to carry a pet on a bike! How dos it feel to have a big dog moving around on the back. What if they decide something on the side of the road is more important? What if they have to go to the bathroom?
And I'm gonna say it! You big burly biker guys with these little dogs on your bikes look kinda gay. Yeah, I said it! Ok, maybe that is flaming but I'm just sayin. Just my opinion!

There's a few reasons I take my lab.
1. When we go camping out where no one is. The dog will let me know if somethings around way before I can pull out a throw-a-way.
2. My dog is like a member of my family.
3. I had installed an anti sway bar on my trailer. he can go nuts all he wants and it wont sway!
4. The length of his chain in there keeps him from standing on only his back legs.
5. If he has to go. I stop at different times. My ol lady's bladder isnt conditioned like mine is from my beer drinking days. So I stop. If he goes in there. Then I just throw the crap out. Probably at someone like you. There I said it. Im entitled to my opinion too.

To each there own
