Large dog on my gas tank.

Hmm... Large greyhound on my gas tank is kinda unco to ride.

Anyone have a dog seat system for a motorbike? I use to get my massive fat lab on my 125cc scooter...

I don't see why I can't ride on a sports bike with my greyhound.

Or this is just a bad idea for me and my dog.

He can probably run faster than your bike.................

Get him a bike....

Nah just kidding. Get him a license first.

I use a dog crate on the rear with a carbon fiber/marine ply base

I still have a gorgeous photo of "Max" sitting proudly in his sidecar on his owners Indian, from a pink ribbon ride a couple of years ago; also Harley the fluffy bunny who rides in a specially adapted topbox on the back of his owners scooter.

How you would ride with a fat lab on your scooter I have no idea! Our beloved old boy (also a large lab cross) would have been a major pain to try and fit onto either of our bikes, although we have photos of him sitting on the seat of the Burgman looking very happy.

I used to see a guy around Christchurch with a little white terrier sitting between his feet on his scooter. The wee fella looked pretty excited about the commute!

As for a Greyhound? I'm sure our big gangly mouse would love the experience but as you say, where to fit him?

You'd need leather headgear and 'Biggles' goggles at a minimum

What I really want for our greyhound is this http://www.rockstar-puppy.com/dog-rider-jockey.html

Riding to work one day a guy pulled up next to me on I think it was a GS1200 Suzuki. He looks across at me, and exclaims 'You've only got one arm!'. I look back at him, and with a look of surprise reply, 'And you've got a dog on your tank!'. It was a very interesting conversation.

What he had was a custom made tank pouch for his bike. I didn't stop long enough to look at it but it was basically a large sock. He said that he had been doing it since he was a puppy (the dog, not the rider) but now it was a nuisance as every time he got his gear ready to go for a ride the dog wouldn't let him go without him.

Think about what you are getting yourself into lol.

I took this photo the other day.

Top Speed 60km!!!!!!!

I have one of these: http://www.beastriders.com/products/beastriders/ It works but takes me a while to get on the bike and get the dog in the 3 point harness.

However this is easier. Put him in and go.
