yorkie on a bike

[jonesy]

Any one travel with a yorkie on a bike, need a carrier, got any ideas. How have you seen it done?

I tried with a chest carrier and he didn't like the wind coming up from under even with his goggles on!

A few years ago I meet a couple that had two Yorkies. They travelled in a carpet lined open top box attached to the rear seat of her Goldwing The dog also had very short leashs attached to body harnesses in case they were ever to accidently fallout. The short leashes were meant to stop that. It seemed to be a pretty good arrangement.

 

There are other ideas out there. Like a different type of top for your trunk so they can ride in there with air access and a view. Or if the wife rides with you theres a large bag between the two of you on her lap remember the body harness' attached to the inside of the bag to prevent that accidentally attack on the great dane passing in the suv next to you. you know how territorial those yorkies can get.

I ride with my Maltese's at times.

 

I have a metal carrier that I built that sits on top of the trunk rack.

I like that type because it allows my dog to hide behind the seat back

if the wind gets to be to much for them and it will also protect them

if we should ever go down.

 

Search Google for "motorcycle carriers for dogs" and you will find many options.

We put our maltese, Buddy, in the plastic carrier and strap it to the trunk rack. We rode two days with him in the rain and he didn't mind a bit. He usually goes to sleep after just a couple of miles. He loves it.

I think Kuryakyn makes them.

Saw a man with a Chihuahua in Bacliff, TX this past weekend. She (the dog) is 6 yrs old, had on a pink shirt, with pink helmet and goggles. He said she has done 40,000 miles with him.

 

He had on bib overalls, he pulled the top of the bib out and dropped her in with her head under his chin and off they went.

 

Pretty simple if you and your dog can each tolerate the arrangement.

They don't seem to make one of these carriers that will accomodate my St. Bernard. Guess I will need to get a hack.

There are some bags that attach to your gas tank as well made for small dogs (under 15 pounds). Now for a bigger dog, I know they make trailers for them. I saw one just the other week with a german shephard. Very nice set up.

I use a tank bag, there is a picture in my profile if you'd like to have a look.

Sherry (OMG on the site here) out of Toronto carried her Teacup Chihuahua in her jacket with her.

Not good pictures as there was grease on the window where I lubed the power window slide, and didn't realize greade had dripped on the glass.

 

But anyway, here is a Harley rider, I happende up on, and his dog...
