Hi

I've got a little Shih Tzsu dog that goes with me everywhere except when I go for a ride on the Bike.

can anyone suggest a way for him to come too. I've surfed the net and haven't found anything really suitable.

All Suggestions and Links welcome.

Thanks

Sabie

Bagster do an animal carry tank bag that could do the trick if your dog is under 8kg

If you fold him neatly he should fit in one of the side pockets

Thanks TJ, That's the whole idea, carefully lol

Roper, He's a Shih Tzu, fold indeed, everyone knows you roll a Shih Tzu....lol

Thanks for the tip Shiney, he's only 4kg I'll check it out.

Thanks everyone.

Its a tank bag, but I guess you can modify the thing for the back seat. Cant carry a dog on the front these days

Sabie · « **Reply #6 on:** August 18, 2012, 08:25:43 PM »

Hey Brock is that a state law? where would I find out for sure? I'm in Qld

Brock · « **Reply #7 on:** August 18, 2012, 08:39:00 PM »

I think its Oz rules, but definitely in wa rules. You could ask your local transport authority..

Wasn't that specifically to ruinm it for the legend whose cattle dog rode on the tank bare assed?

If the furball was in a bag, it would be different.

Dunno. Wouldn't own a dog called Shit Zoo.

I used to date a BMW rider, she has a special cage built for the back of her bike to carry her little dog, it locked on just like a top box, I am sorry I don't have any photos though, but it was a really clever setup

Sabie · « **Reply #10 on:** August 18, 2012, 09:28:07 PM »

Biggles, He's been a top little mate for 16 years........... and is at my feet right now......... I'll tell him you were only joking...... poor little guy being picked on like that..........

That size dog.........on a bread roll.........then you're carrying food not an animal......

Sorry, couldn't help myself!

Ok gents back on track, we are trying to solve a problem form Sabie....

This is from the queensland transport website dated 290090:

Carrying an animal

If you are carrying an animal in your vehicle or on your motorcycle, you must be in control of the vehicle or motorcycle at all times.

Question: What is the new rule regarding carrying animals?
If you carry an animal on your lap while driving a car, or on the petrol tank of your motorcycle, you risk being fined $233.

Question: Can I sit an animal on my lap while driving?

No, animals are unpredictable and distract drivers and riders. If a dog moves in the vehicle, or becomes agitated in response to some outside influence, the driver risks losing control of the vehicle or motorcycle.

Question: How should I carry my animal in my vehicle?

So long as the animal is not in your lap (or sitting on the petrol tank of your motorcycle) and not affecting your control of the vehicle, there are no rules prohibiting how you should carry your animal. It is advised however, that you securely restrain your animal using either a restraint or house the animal in a suitable cage or container.

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.

Question: Can I carry a dog or another animal in another place on my motorcycle?

Yes, so long as the dog or animal is secure and the stability of the motorcycle is not affected.

Does this mean I will have to ride my bike from inside my top box

damn and just after getting my new seat done by John.

Tipsy

some would say I am a bit of an animal.

Currently there is a dog on the NSW Black Dog ride (was on telly last night)
It's travelling in the top box, hole cut out so the dog can look around and a clear screen in front.
I've seen them travelling in trailers with a round dome/skylight for them to see.

Expensive but get a second top box and cut a hole either side just big enough for your dog to poke it's head through.

Sabie · « **Reply #18 on:** August 19, 2012, 09:42:15 PM »

That's getting a bit nasty Tippsy.........

While we were living in Karratha we met a couple a few years ago who took their small dog with them on the back of their bike. All they did was mount one of those plastic pet carriers on the rear rack.

Try this a uni trailer to carry the dog

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/deception-bay/motorcycles/uni-go-motorcycle-specially-designed-pet-trailer-/1004683403

Barry had a uni trailer on his beemer. I asked him about them and if he liked it, and how it towed. The answer was crap.
Better off with two wheels, they track better.

Sabie · « **Reply #21 on:** August 20, 2012, 05:46:06 PM »

I thought the exhaust might gas him being that low and just behind the mufflers with the uni trailer..........

Keep the suggestions coming

RubenCan · « **Reply #22 on:** August 21, 2012, 08:49:33 PM »

How about an extra long leash so that he can execise at the same time? That way there's no extra expense and no damage to the sexy lines on the ST......

.....just a thought....
