animal bikers

[grant71]

some years ago when i wasfarming i had a Yamaha 175 scrambler which i used to move around the farm. my wife had a small Yorkshire terrier. one day while sitting on the bike idling next to my house the dog ran up to me and after some hesitation jumped up on the petrol tank and sat between my legs. get off i cried. no way would he get off. so i drove a few yards revving the engine. he refused to get off. he became a biker from that day. when i started the bike he would dash up and jump on the tank . he rode every where with me . what a delightful litle creature. no ribbons in his hair. he was a biker. does anybody have any animals and bikes stories?

hmmm??  The only one I have is of a squirrel making an incorrect directional escape decision and ending up a rather pulpy mess after passing through my front wheel.

One time I saw a guy with a side car and his dog wearing goggles in it.
Another time a guy on a bike had a dog in his backpack, only his head showing over the riders shoulder.  Drooling down his neck, no doubt.

I used to have a Vulcan which I parked under a car port. Critters would like to crawl around on it in the night.

One day I rode about six miles to the Post Office and as I'm easing through the parking lot with my face shield up, a Daddy Long Legs spider comes crawling around the side of my helmet and onto my check.

I grabbed him/her and gave a fling into the air. Managed to not freak out and wreck.

At a BMW rally (Chief Joseph Rally in OR) several years ago I saw a husband and wife on separate bikes each with something like a tank-bag but no top.  In each "tank-bag" was a small dog.  I don't recall the breed but it was quite a sight.

My first pet cat used to ride in the car with me all the time. Would just sit on my lap and look out the window.  Only had her on the motorcycle once, and that was the trip home from when I first got her. Great cat. You could not ask for a better pet.

hi Lynn. what a coincidence your anecdote. 2 weeks ago a friend gave me a pretty kitten. i was on my shadow which asyou know makes a lot of noise. put kitten name Anastasia in my jacket zipped up and rode home 30 mins. what a laid back kitten. fell asleep soon and did nt budge until i got home. as you say wonderful affectionate pet. i think the trick is to find by chance of course a cat that is a peoples cat and not one that is aloof. best Grant

You know, I used to hate cats. With a passion. Hated. Then, someone gave me a Russian Blue kitten and I learned that they really do have personalities other than just being stuck up and aloof. To this day, I still love a good bird dog but give me a cat over a dog anytime.

That might have been Ara and Spirit. This is his blog if it was. Great read.

Actually, last week on my way back home from work, i noticed a girl who had her Chihuahua in her lap while waiting at a light. The bike was a bigger than a 750, chopper style something.

I hate Chihuahuas. All they do is bark and yap and tremble.
