I was going to say that, but I thought about it and decided against it. It was even too bad taste for me.

So what's the law about talking animals on bikes? How about a parrot on yer shoulder? :Punk:

I used to take our flat kitten to the vet in my tank bag, 'cos I haven't got a car. The little dude actually quite liked it, though letting him have a look around when stopped at the lights wasn't a great idea, 'cos I had to force his face back in afer.

Not sure what would happen if a cop saw it though. If it was girl she might think it was cute...I can imagine some of them cuffing me and charging me for transporting of an animal in a way likely to be injurious to the general public...or some such. Don't really care actually, not in the mood for the law right now. :oi-grr:

You bin it and it's likely the pet would bite the dust! But I suppose if it was wearing one of those miniature helmets...? :raghead:

I reckon those women that ride horses on the road which poop everywhere are a greater threat!! :nono:

It was a white open faced one that he was generally wearing. I had a cat that was doing well at rinding the bike with me around the house. I was going to get him out onto the open road, but my boy asked if he could have him so I sent him up North :ride:

Not ideal I admit, but I don't think that he'd actually have taken a hit in there if I crashed, since the bag is much narrower than the fairing and bars. Obviously I was being alot more careful than normal with the precious cargo. :ride:
