Dogs and motorcycles seem to go together. I’ve seen several different ways our canine friends ride and managed to get photos of a few of them.
Riding on the tank seems to be a popular option. My friend on YouTube has a whole series of videos with his dog Yoshi riding on the tank of his dirtbike. You can see his videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/YoshiTheShiba
Below is a small dog riding on the tank of a Ninja at First Thursday last month. He was strapped in by his harness.
Another one I’ve seen a few times, but only managed to barely catch with the camera once is the small dog in a backpack. The little guy kept looking away every time I pressed the button though.
Sidecars and dogs seems to be the safest way to haul a dog around on a motorcycle. It’s a common reason folks tell me they want to get a sidecar too.
One of my favorite shots of my friend’s dog. His dog loves to go for rides almost as much as we do.
Do you have any nice photos of dogs and motorcycles?
Maybe they can do that in your state but don't try it in NJ as you will get a ticket. Even in cars dogs have to be strapped, NJ has to be the worst state in the country.
ReplyDeleteLol at NJ. You aren't allowed to pump your own gas there either. :)
DeleteLove the St Bernard in that last photo.
ReplyDeleteWe don't see too many dogs on bikes around here and I think the only one I've captured is the one at the Vintage Motorcycle show last year.

Her name is Sabaka and she has been riding since she was 6 weeks old.
Thanks for the share. I haven't seen too many dogs riding around in crates.
Deletewhat a gorgeous electraglide... oh the dogs, yes, they're awesome too :D

ReplyDeleteso that's what they look like when they take their roadcrafters off.... ;)
DeleteWoohoo! I love Yoshi! What a great pup. My pup is just slightly too tall for the tank think, so I'm hoping for a sidecar soon.
ReplyDeleteYoshi is a cool dog. It was nice to meet both of them last year. I saw a complete sidecar for sale on ADVrider for $2000 in IL. Not sure if it has sold yet or not.
