YOU SEE SOME INTERESTING SIGHTS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD

 Look at this!

A wee doggy in its own sidecar and secured with a harness.

He even wore his own goggles, and from what I saw on the license plate, its humans bought these rides with their pooch in mind. 


He looked very comfortable and at ease.

A dog in a sidecar with goggles on, 
Riding down the road with 
The wind not exactly blowing strong. 
His ears not exactly flapping in the breeze, 
but he’s living life with such ease.

The motorcycle 
Roars as they go. 
You can feel the dog's 
Happiness as if he glows,
And with his goggles on tight, 
I know he is ready for 
A great adventure tonight.

I was sorry when they eventually turned left, and we drove on to Green Spring Gardens.  Those photos will be shared as soon as I can put a post together.

In the meantime I hope you enjoyed seeing sweet doggy.  I was amazed after doing a search online, how many photos there were of dogs riding in motorbike sidecars, all kinds of ride-alongs in fact, not just motorbikes.

  6. Wonderful... thanks for the great photos. Wonderful the motorcycle with sidecar, the dog and the two. It looks so stylish... a bit like in the 60s :-)))
    The dog with the glasses is the hit...
    and the motorcycle reminds me of a trip I took as a kid with my mother and uncle to Poland... I was in the sidecar!!! ... it was divine.
    hug to you.
    Thanks Viola

    1. A good description :) I took a similar trip with my mother riding behind my unclel, and my sister and I in the sidecar. We were being taken to visit their mother. It was a fun ride too! Hugs from me :)

    1. That thought crossed my mind how the dog was made comfortable in doing this. Lots of mini rides probably.

  8. I much prefer dogs in side cars over the ones that ride on the bikes, that is too dangerous. these are priceless photos, and make me smile and feel happy.. now he needs a dog shaped helmet. ha ha

  11. I am not quite sure why we inflict this on animals. Why do we have this obsession with trying to make them into surrogate humans?

    1. It was a first for me. I do remember a large poodle being pulled in a trolly years ago in Florida. That was behind a bicycle though :)
