@srhinath: You will have to search for Mustang tank bags, they cost around 500rs a piece. I have those, you can try for a small demo ride

Spare the dog
Labs are not built for this, take him to a lake & let him splash around instead.Last edited by nidhaye; 07-16-2009, 12:35 PM.Comment

Surprising that anyone can even consider this!
I had a much smaller doggie - a pure pom. Used to take him for my runs. When I got my 1st bike, I really wanted to take him on my the bike. The rid is just about 7 mins. Since his nails would scratch the tank I had a tank cover put up. Tried it couple of times and gave up for good. I kept and maintained my moped just for him... so I can keep him on the floorboard and kinda hold him with my legs. This was way safer.
Dude, even carrying my 5 kg doggie was way too precarious. I have no idea how you are even contemplating carring a lab on the tank. And that too for such a long ride!!
A pooch just isn't made for 2 wheelers. Its just way unsafe. If its a really short ride, a scoot would be a much better option.
Please don't do it. You will be putting ur precious pooch at risk, yourself and others on the road. Besides no dog can sit comfortably on a bike.Comment

@Srinath - Please get a Car. By now I ve' figured you and your pooch are inseparable but mate riding with him on your Tank on a highway is way too dangerous and definetly not Ethical cos your Lab does not have a choice in this matter. He's gonna be doing it cos you re forcing him to do it. It s quite natyural for a dog to live with humans but riding on bikes nah! Thats not natural for them."I set out running but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine. If I get home before day light, just might get some sleep tonight" - The Grateful Dead.

But seriously man.. i think the Sholay Sidecar idea was the best 1. Panchgani is too far for you to take your dog along alone on a tank. Try sitting on the tank for 10 km while riding in the pune traffic.. u ll understand what the dog has to go through for so many more kms.
Borrow some of ur friend's Activa / KiHo if you so badly want to take ur dog along.
Also if you want it trained for other such adventurous trips.. i really think that investing in the sidecar is a much better idea, rather than torturing ur dog's butt on a 70km journey.. just imagine.. the dog wont even be able to request a butt break on its 1st long bike ride.. that too while sitting on the tank..
You also mentioned it was shivering during the 15min 10km intra city tank-top ride.. i believe those were shivers from fear of falling / butt pain.
my 2 cents...Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

yeah! why are you not interested in this option?? Because it will cost you more?? Buddy if you love your dog, thats a better way than putting that poor soul on the tank.Originally posted by antz.bin View Post
I have already mentioned about it:

Ok, here is my take.
Buddy if carrying your dog so important and you are willing to spend some and make some compromises, try fabricating a SIDE CAR with seat belt suitable for your dog.
a video:
YouTube - Dog in sidecarIn my opinion, this chap has to banned(or at least a warning should be issued by the mods) from xbhp and a new rule should be made - "XBHP does not encourage or endorse any sought of cruelty towards animals".You also mentioned it was shivering during the 15min 10km intra city tank-top ride.. i believe those were shivers from fear of falling / butt pain....
I am not an animal activist, but this is madness man. Its not love for your dog, its more of "I can take my dog anywhere" attitude.
PS: This is the first time I am taking this stand in support of any animal.
