Need Help

Bulin

I started a threath about having my dog on a motor bike and it some who ended up been moved to pet section,
the threath was made up to ask people about how they can set up the bike for dogs and was is it legal

I care more about my dog than my bike.

I wouldn't carry him on my bike. Even if i was just to have a low speed drop he could get hurt. He would be fecked in a higher speed crash.

Fingers!

For those who didn't see the other thread, its here: www. boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057284737

One of the forums you were linked to in that other thread is a 29 page thread on another forum showing how other people around the world bring their dogs out. So, what specifically are you asking here?

You also haven't said if its a poodle or a german shepherd or the kind of bike?

If you only want to know whether its legal or not, a quick call to garda should answer that.
If it is legal, then make sure insurance company are OK about it - again, this was said in the other thread.

Fingers!

You could say the same about riding two up - Would you care about your other half more than your bike?

there was an issue on the topic been moved. the garda said there is no law in itself but i may need help to protect road users as well i do believe that if i drove aroubd on my bike with a dog would it cause other road users either be saver and aware i am there or the simple thing is obstuction
the dog i do have is a lil jack russel

I've no idea if it's legal or not but I don't see why not. Obviously some sort of box but I can't imagine they're too comfortable for a dog on a long distance on a motorway.
Get a sidecar is the other option

I only let my enemies ride as a pillion......

Just think a dog is a lot more likely to be injured than a person. They won't have any gear to protect them.

There's a guy in naas I've seen with a little JR on the back of his Bike. Only seen him without the dog once.

Snapped him one day when he was filling up.

Bulin

it seems the only issue with dogs on bike is here eyes. the speed the bikes goes. i wish that guy was in this furom. my guess the box is hand made but a lil less secure, then i would hoped mine would be. but my bike i wana suit up would be bigger, Thanks for snapping that picture that really did help me out, a lot.
