Just curious who carries a dog/pet on their bike and what kinda carrier you use. the only one i found is by t-bag for 180.00. Also do ya have to do any type of training so their not scared ?

I've been looking around for one also. The T-Bag is cheap compared to the "Beast-Rider" at over $500.00!
I guess it wouldn't be that hard to just make one.

 

Interesting thread! Our old dog died 3 weeks ago, and now the 5 yr old beagle is kinda lonesome. We've been spoiling him since. He's allowed in the house a lot more, gets on the furniture if he wants, hangs out with us as much as we'll let him. Took him out to the bike the other day to see if he'd be scared. I started it up while he was standing right next to it and he looked up at me like "ok dad, let's go for a ride!" I guess I'll rig something up so he can ride without tearing the seat to **** and teach him in the spring. I imagine every dog/pet would be different in how they react, but I'd say if they ain't scared of the bike, they should be able to ride...they almost all love riding in the car, and we all know they love to have their heads out "in the wind!"

 

I ran into a guy a couple years ago, had a pomeranian. this guy was wearing a "baby bjorn" baby carrier with the dog in it facing outward and the little mutt had goggles on. of course the little guy had his hair wind whipped, ya had to see it! the damned cutest thing i ever saw. big burley harley guy with his best friend in a baby carrier. still get a chuckle over it.

 

Just be careful. Long Long time ago (1 maybe 2 moon), I had a Peekapoo that I would take on the bike. He stood or sat on a piece of carpet on the gas tank. One day I was riding down a residential street and he saw a dog in a yard and decided to go visit it. Splattered his lil head all over the road.
Make sure you have a way to secure the dog to the bike.

 

I saw a guy last spring towing his dog with a homemade trailer behind his Ultra. His dog was probably 80 lbs or so. Dog just sat there content like he'd been doing it for years. It definitely got my attention and made me chuckle.

 

OUCH, yeah thats why im looking into a carrier to put on a luggage rack.

Im thinking to make one just get a nice dufflebag put a piece of plywood for a floor . put a small dog bed in it and sew some vents along with a short leash in it. UH on second thought 180.00 doesnt sound bad LOL

I never thought I would be so attached to a little dog, always had big, but last Dec, I got a Chihuahua puppy and I love that little dog. She rides with me all the time. I wear a backpack that is facing forward, and she is good to go.

 

Jake (see avatar) rides sometimes, but, he has to wear his "Doggles. (see avatar again) He rides inside Mommy's jacket. (lucky boy)

 

There was a huge ride this last Saturday (Rumble Through the Tunnels) to honor the military and a guy a couple bikes up from me had a dog strapped in a bag on the back of his bike. I had never seen anyone do this before and I thought it was kind of dangerous but the dog stayed in there fine.
