Dear Kickstand,

A couple of weeks ago I noticed a guy riding his motorcycle with a dog standing on their gas tank.
I have never seen such a sight before. Are there a lot of motorcyclist that have their pets ride with them?

Sincerely,

Curious George

Dear Curious,

That is a great question. I really don't know how many motorcyclist have pets ride on their cycles. I have seen one fellow with a long haired Chihuahua riding on the gas tank and I have also seen a couple of folks with their larger dogs riding in sidecars. Lets see if we can get our expansive audience to respond to this question!

Dear Readers,

Please send me photos and descriptions of pets you have witnessed riding on motorcycles. Just send your accounts to my email address found on my profile.

Thanks for your help!
