My parents when on a poker run a couple years ago and a guy had his dog with him... He crashed and killed both of them. I posted it on ... Don't take your dog on the bike.

I honestly appreciate the concern but it's no different than bringing any loved one on your bike in my opinion. For what it's worth,just like when I ride two-up,I take it SUPER EASY to minimize the risk. You can't tell but I have him strapped into a "capsule" and have put foam all around. Quite frankly,other than stunting,I don't remember ever seeing the top of a tank get damaged too often,so he's probably safer than I am. |

I have been really wanting to take my lil angel out with me too, but for safety reasons I havent yet, and I dont want to strap a metal cage on the tail section but that looks like a doable solution...I would only take her with me for long easy rides, like long trips and such, no aggressive or street riding, but that way I can have her and still go on a bike trip...and she's topped out at 6lbs, so I dont have to worry about her getting any bigger, she already loves just sitting up on the bike when we're working on it too!!

There is some guys that run the gap with their dogs. It's pretty cool, a lot of them are unattached to the bike too. They just hang on.

ever heard that saying "dogs resemble their owners"? My dog is the epitomy of that statement...everyone says she looks like me, and as for behavior, well, A.D.D. anyone? She'd forget halfway thru a turn she's sposed to be holding on..."Look mom, a squirrel!!!" splat....

What a cute lil pup. I am surprised you aren't being groped by billions of women at every stop light.
