Most would just enjoy being with the boss and sniffing all the wonderful new smells.

That's what I would be hoping for to be honest and obviously I would give up immediately if it was stressing her. But I think she's a bit big for this to be easy. I'm still undecided.

[Prof Prolapse]

It was said more tongue in cheek based on previous comments about carriers to be honest. My recollection of seeing dogs in carriers has always been particularly brainless toy breeds which are less aware of what is going on so less phased by it. More aware or not most intelligent dogs are easier to train though, and many would take this in their stride I agree. I suspect a great number wouldn't however, especially if not exposed at a very young age.

You'd have to run a test... but, given that, to a man dog, their reaction to an open car window is stick their heads through the gap, I'd guess that most would be OK.

Mind you, sitting at the lights with Pillion Dog going mental at every passing er, passer-by, or dog or cat or pigeon or cyclist might be a bit embarrassing.

If you go with an open top solution don't forget the doggles

[Moulder]

Some of the older riders on here will remember these. Slightly before my time but I believe Sidewinders were used to get around licence laws at the time by adding a "sidecar" (happy to be corrected on this).

No longer made and no idea whether they are scrap or cost hundreds due to being retro. Look easy(ish) to add/remove and would make a good base for any sort of dog box.

(That's not me)


Guess you may get an argument over whether it is still a solo MC but if the bay is that underused hopefully nobody will give a monkey's enough to complain about it.

Used to see a bloke every day with his dog on the back of the bike. Was just the bog standard dog cage mounted across the back seat and rack area. Like a big top box really

I think it all boils down to the temperament of the dog whether it's dooable or not.

I've followed a bike with a towed trailer (covered) which contained a bearded colley. Not sure about your parking issue. Perhaps you could lend the dog to a 'down & out' to improve the sympathy points for selling the big issue/free dog minder??

Go for it. I ride wit a CAT all the time.

Old guy with a moped does that around town here - he rides along with a little trailer that has his two dogs (Jack Russell type things) in the back. Barely goes above 5 mph so has a queue of traffic behind hi mind.

I've seen a tank bag fitted to a GS with a dog in it, it was a fair size and had a mesh type front so the dog could see, breath etc I think it was bagster?

Bloke I used to work with carried his Afgan hound as a pillion. It did look hilarious! (and it was the 1970s...so there's probably a zillion rules been introduced since then)

I've had a couple of dogs go pillion with me over the years. It's alright until you get to the pub and she takes her helmet off, reminding you that you shouldn't have gone ugly early, to beat the rush at the night club the previous weekend.

I've got a whippet size lurcher too - he's a cool dog but think my bike might scare the st out of him!

[mygoldfishbowl]

How about a large kite or small hang glider? Strap the pooch to either & then by a length of rope to the bike. Pull away & let him glide effortlessly above you.

Wondered when the inevitable would be posted.

Do you wear earplugs when you ride?

Lots of people do to protect their hearing and reduce discomfort from wind noise.

No one makes earplugs for dogs, yet their hearing is much more sensitive than ours.

Just saying likes...
