I have to disagree on this one. There are plenty of humans that ride without helmets, I guess some would say that is irresponsible. The dog loves his life and his motorcycle and holds on real tight. Is he really any different then us?
Its America you can do what ya want, the dog looked happy. I would not do it with my dog but hey, its his dog, lot worse things are done to dogs and nobody gives a crap. This was Troy NY, he had a gun on his hip, so we know this was before the commies took over the state. Miss those days up there I bet. Waiting for the Fla open carry law to get passed, not that I will open carry but its just nice to have the bill of rights respected fully.
Oh at least it was a real dog not a mass produced taco bell influenced miniature copy of a real dog (calm down I even love the rat dogs), the dog also looked pretty healthy and the guy cared for the dog that he got for a beer, probably saved that dog from a miserable existence. Remember this was the 70's before PETA when you could still legally eat dog, cat, cow and have all the MSG and trans fats you wanted, Mc Donald's French Fries were real Fries deep fried in unhealthy lard. The word metrosexual wasnt invented yet and neither was the word Yuppie or DUI, frikken hippies were filthy hippies, cops would kick your *** instead of locking you up, the good old days. Now everyone is so judgmental and busy bodied. Fk it, just ride, and carry a gun to discourage anyone from telling you how to raise your dog, cat or kids.

Now that I am ranting I have to ask, Steve did you mount a super 8 camera on the helmet back then?

No Jerry,
But you might like this camera mount that I fabricated for my tandem bike. I used a swivel head from a tripod, I could turn the camera in any direction while I was riding. Actually made some really good videos in Key West, St. Augustine, Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton. Oh, also in Shark Valley in the Everglades.
I still have the bike, and the camera mount (at my mom's, in the garage). It's a 1969 Schwinn, it weighs a ton, but me and the wifey still take it to the beach sometimes.
