I just got back from a vacation in the LA area (Northride to be exact) and while cruisin around in a convertible Camaro we rented, we pulled up along side of a guy with his white German Shepard laying on the tank, we're talking about a full size dog, well we started talking and light turns green but he still had more to say so we pulled over and we sat there and talked for about a half hour, the guy's name is Jeremiah Gerbracht and his dogs name is sir Davidson, if you see these two stop and say hello, I got a lot of usefull cruisin around info from Jeremiah.

 

Not giving you a hard time, just would be great to see it.

 

Does not sound too safe for the dog.

 

My Golden would never make it. He falls about in my pickup, though he REALLY wants to ride the Harley. I had to get a bike named after him. He is THAT cool.

 

I remember in ths 70's desert racing in So. Calif. there was a guy with a dog desert racing with the dog on the tank. He was called "Kookie the Wonder dog". The guy glued a piece of carpet to his tank for the dog to get some traction. That dog would hang on better than any bitch on the back seat ever could.

I love my dogs and would never try to take them on the bike, plus I love my bikes and the dogs know to stay away from them. It's always cool to met someone like that.

 

I think people should leave their pets at home.

 

How does the dog stay on the tank if he has to make a hard stop?

 

That would be a cool sight to see though.

 

If you Google his name Jeremiah Gerbracht & Sir Davidson, you'll see him in many publications about court battles he has had through the years, this actually his third dog that will ride with him. He does have a large carpet pad that the dog lays on, this guy cruises real slow though, in Cali (north-west L.A. area) theres so much traffic you're not going to drive anywhere fast, I'm not taking his side on this, just thought it was neat, I asked some of the same questions as far as the dogs safety but he's OK with it and the dog seems OK with it so, lets let him be.
