Title: It's the strangest thing...
Post by: zedsaid on August 15, 2008, 02:24:15 PM
It's the strangest thing i've seen in a while...

Guy on bike, with dog in lap.  Just sitting there enjoying the breeze in his face as they made a right onto a busy street.  Cop turning from other direction (making a left to come up behind the bike).  Didn't (as far as i could tell) pull him over, but did pull up along side to check it out.

Seems like the kind of distraction i don't need while riding.  But i do envy how well trained the dog must be.

I saw a BMW by sturgisa few years back.  Going at least 70 mph, dog just kicking back.  My dog would have the bike dumped on the first curve.

Lap dog?

Hah!

Duke rides on the tank (standing) or in his own sidecar...
He's (I think) our "official" mascot of the DFWM-MF-ers, LSD/THC, and a few select from Houston (Shout out to my peeps!).

Tank Bag?        NO!   -TANK DOG!!!

Yep.  Home made.   :)

It leans, has full suspension, lights, and an Oogah! Oogah! horn on it too...

...If you're a dog it's pretty pimpin'.

That puggle pod is f*(kin awsome  [thumbsup] [clap]  I've been trying to think of something similar for my french bulldog.  Once he got used to the termis I know he would love riding around once and a while.   What is it made from if you don't mind me asking.  Is it some sort of modified pocket bike or something?

Riding w/ SUPER DUKE and Duke is usually an interesting experience.

That shot of Duke surfing the tank was tough to get with all the cagers trying to pace him and get pics w/ the cell cameras.
