| There are several YT'ers who take their babies with them on their motorcycles. We do, and they love it! Just be sure he's securely attached to you, we use the doggy backpacks that you wear on the front too. Get some Doggles to protect his eyes, you know how bad it hurts when a bug hits you, imagine the damage it would do if it hit their eye. They even have doggy helmuts, but DH sorta draws the line there. Boo's the only one who likes going faster then 45 mph, so we don't go on the freeway with them. And you have to drive with an extra amount of caution because of car drivers doing double takes when they see the kids on the bike with us nearly wrecking. We've never been out that at least one person wants to take their picture. Gracie Ruth's first ride. She was too small at the time for the Doggles we had, but she has since grown into them. Boo & DH

| Muffy and Buddy ride all the time all I have to say is (motorcycle) and they are ready to go. I cant put them in a front pack and drive to much of a distraction so I bought a backpack carrier. We tie it to the back seat so they are safe and Im not distracted. Ill have to get pictures and post them for ya. Good luck!!

| My husband and I really enjoy riding his motorcycle, we are automotive-aholics and the only way we can ride with our dog is in our convertible... which is wonderful, but we'd love to ride with our doggie on the bike. We enjoy it so much and we try to take Ollie with us wherever we go, and share what we enjoy with him. I do not think it is stupid, I think there must be a safe way to ride with him, I just haven't figured it out yet! Thanks for all of the advice, I hope everyone else who reads this thread gets the advice that they are looking for too! |

| The doggy bags that we use we got at Petco/Petsmart. Just make sure there is a venting on sides so that they don't get too hot and that there is a clip inside the bag so that you can secure them to it/you.
