Default My dog likes fatboys !!

I came home from work yesterday to find my dog had eaten a hole in the rain cover on my recently acquired fatboy.

I was excited to see this after I removed the cover I found he had also chewed through the wires and eaten the amp connector on my kuryakyn fuel gauge I was in the process of fitting

He obviously enjoyed that so much he ate through the high tension lead on the front cylinder .

I managed to salvage the kuryakyn thanks to the alternative wiring setup and a soldering iron.
I'll have to order a new plug lead , so now I'm grounded.....

Needless to say I spent the day building a big fence around the scoot...

Can I laff at this? That sux he did tha damage but gotta similar story for ya...I use to breed bullmastiffs and quit, I have 2 left that are 9-10 years old and male/female. I have to tell ya those dogz for some reason have taken over the security of the scoots. They lay right next to em even though their kennel has ac and the scoot shop has none. Dont go pullin up here on no rice, they go ballistic. I dont why but i have to admit I like it

Years ago I had a POS Ducati, that I parked in the back yard.
My dog ate part of the seat one day. When I noticed it the dog was not near the bike, so I knew it would be a waste of time to scold him. Next morning the whole seat was chewed off. Then day after day he would chew something else off like the wires,fuel lines,etc.
Fortunately I didn't like the bike, so I just hauled it off.
My next bike I built a shed to park it in.
