I really don't see what the problem is. I often take Junior out for a ryde, he likes to go out in October the most for some reason. He's real popular with the ladies! Oh, and his cousin, the one with the bad case of stink foot, likes to go in the top box too.
And yes, for the his complete safety he is facing towards the rear of the vehicle and is properly strapped and bolted in, just the way he likes it!
