    Default My service dog does NOT like my Spyder

    And he didn't like my URAL either. Both for the same reason: they don't lean! When you're riding on the back of a motorcycle it leans and you lean with it and staying on is no problem. When you ride in a sidecar or on the back of a trike and you corner, it tries to throw you off. I have'nt figured a way yet to train him to lean into the turns. He's been riding on the back of my Harley for eight years!

    You don't ride barefoot, I hope?

    What kind of service does your dog perform? Hope the dog does not fall off someday and gets hurt.

    Nice Picture

    I wonder if a back rest on your spyder and wider seat (foam covered plywood?) would help your dog support himself when cornering.

    Jack Russell Terrier that rides with me. I put a secure harness on her and Guy her off to the passenger handles with very short lanyards
    works great. She also wears Doggles.
    Good Luck with your Pup.

    That's my plan. But the real problem is teaching him to lean. On the bikes, they did the leaning for him!

    Neurological service dog. He's been riding for eight years and fell off on his first ride and decided staying on is a better plan.

    That would work with the Spyder, and might be the answer, iphone 6-25-14 066.jpgbut certainly did NOT on the motorcycles. I got run off the road and he fell off and was drug by the guy!

    A much safer plan for both the dog and rider! Also protects the dog from the elements.

    I never much cottoned to taking my dog on the Spider or Bike but I am getting ideas. I have three Giant Schnausers.

    This summer when riding Bear Tooth Pass we ran on to a man with a harley Trike and he had built his own trailer that was Hauling his 2 Great Pyrenees it looked like a cattle trailer and he had made it out of aluminum and he had snap on covers , these dogs each weighed over 100 lbs each and were just lounging in the trailer enjoying the ride . Our English Setter has logged over 3,00 miles this summer including the SITR , with a side trip to Crater Lake and Hells Canyon .
