Dog Pillion

[RickHolt]

Hi guys

Has anyone ever taken their dog out on a motorbike?

*insert bitch/ugly bird jokes here*

Seriously...

I have a cocker spaniel and although common sense tells me it's a bad idea I'd like to be able to take her with me touring. I've looked up carriers online and there are plenty out there but I haven't read anything about other people's experiences.

I'm currently bikeless but hoping to correct that later this year and want to avoid having to use a sidecar to take Poppy along.

Thanks

Rick

Thank heavens for people like RickHolt

I want to take my sheepdog as pillion complete with WWI
flying cap and glasses.
She can stand upto 75mph with her head out of the car window, then her face starts to turn inside out

I can't remember who (Lonewolf ? ) used to have a dog in a side car. There were a couple who've been on tv a few times with their little terrier in a custom made top box and doggles!

You're gonna have to make sure she's not a wriggler though!

I'm pretty confident she will move around if there's space but then so did most of the pillions I've taken in the past. I'd hardly be getting my knee down with her on the back, just casual riding around Wales and the Lake District.

Thanks

Rick

Bagster do a tank bag designed to be used as a pet carrier. Might be a bit small for your Spaniel though

My friends Jim and Lorain take their little dog out in a converted top box. It is chained to the box on a short leash but seems to enjoy the ride.

Have over taken a bike towing a trailer which had a dog in it... as we went past it popped its head out the hole in the trailer and barked at us

Well the trailer is, there are rules about the trailer but if you make your own it should fit the purpose. This one was being towed by a trike (although motorbikes can have trailers to) and the trailer looked basically like a dog kennel on wheels.

Seen it all-over in Italy. Often a dog sitting on the 'floor' bit of a scooter.

Pretty sure my instructor used to take his dog touring with him. Think it was in like a modified tank bag thing with a harness to keep him strapped in.

Hi

Seen a Honda Blackbird around here with a top box with a hole cut in the lid and the dog sat in it (and tied in).

When in Aus we saw a BMW K100 being ridden with a dog stood on the petrol tank. At motorway speeds the dog lay down and hooked its nose under the bars.

All the best

This is the one I remembered that sounds similar to Mr 1930 Ariel's friends. I loved Ajay in his sidecar and I'm very jealous of Lone-Wolf, as I'd have loved to take my old dog about with me on the bike, as he's definitely got the temperament for it, unlike my young dog, who would distract me far too much!

RickHolt - don't forget a girl needs to look good with shades and in the doggie world Doggles are essential!

.........and just for fun some canine competition!!

Dog hates the bike and I mean hates. To the point of barking at me when i'm on it.

But loves the car, where he will run from the house and straight in to the car if the car door is open. Having to be physically removed from the car.

Just my luck , my best mates a cager.
