Thanks Ruben

But he's only the size of a tea pot. I don't think those little old legs would keep up. Not to mention he's almost 17, which is about 90 Y/O in human terms........ He's also blind and he's deaf............. An we still call out for him...............go figure..   :)

Mate, stick him up your jumper.  He'll be safe as you are.  Could be a tiny cushion if you run into something.
On second thoughts, you'd better put an incontinence pad on him, since he's 90 years old.

Thanks Deisel............ I think I'll go with either the T-Bag, Saddleman or the Pet Palace Carrier on the pillion seat. Just gotta work out which one suits best and is the most stable.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers

Hope you have enough ideas to make a safe spot for your little friend........if all else fails?.........go to the shops late at night and borrow a milk crate to put him in... :rofl....sorry couldn't help to add one more ribbing. :hatwave

The pet slings would be illegal because they are the equivalent of carrying the pooch on the tank or your lap where it might distract you.  It's got to be on the pillion seat or rear carrier, according to the law as I read it.

I guess you could sling it over your back.  Can't see how plod could book you for that.  But Poochiekins might not like being unable to see where he's being taken.

Question: Can I carry my dog on the petrol tank of my motorcycle?

You must not allow an animal to ride or sit on your motorcycle petrol tank. However, if a farmer needs to cross a road to travel to an adjoining private property, a farmer may carry an animal on a motorcycle petrol tank for 500 metres only while traversing the road.

Interesting when you consider where the 'petrol tank' is on the ST1100 and various other bikes. A little open to interpretation, maybe they should have said 'You must not allow an animal to ride or sit in front of the rider'.

Plastic crate couple occies and you've got a dog carrier for pillion seat.
Wanna take the missus too then unhinge the lid of the topbox put the crate there and off ya rumble.
Never under estimate the predictability of stupidity.
