When travelling for the weekend, on a
day ride, or just around the neighborhood...why leave your baby behind when they would love to
be with you? Debbie and I have first-hand experience of travelling with our pet on our
motorcycles. Our 12 lb toy poodle (Sasha) has travelled tens of thousands of miles with us, and has
enrichened our trips by being with us. Click

to open a new window and see a page where Sasha was spotted at the Honda Hoot in Knoxville, Tn. We never
had to board her, and she was always ready to ride.
Several years ago, there were practically no choices for motorcycle pet carriers, so we had to make
our own. They began as crude baskets with coverings, and we continued to build better models. Now,
there is a commercially manufactured version that has all of the features we worked to build into
our home-made models, and is a perfect fit for motorcycle use.
This pet carrier is made of 1680-denier nylon. One side opens completely via zipper, to make it easier
for pet loading, and makes a great 'pet-house' when staying away from home overnight. There's also
a zippered top opening. Both ends and top area ventilated, so you can open the first layer and
still have a strong 'screened' covering to keep pet inside while getting cool fresh air. The bottom
is solid to retain shape, and has a removable and washable lamb's wool pad for pet comfort. The
unique coiled zipper mounting loop adjusts to fit all backrests from 7" to 14" wide. It has hidden
backpack straps and carrying handle so it can be used as a backpack or suitcase-style to carry pet,
once you've arrived at your destination. There are two internal leashes, one on each end, to help
secure the pet. It also has four additional quick release straps for secure mounting to your bike.
This carrier requires a luggage rack rest on (not supplied), or it can be attached to passenger seat
pad. This carrier is recommended to pets weighing not more than 20 lbs. Interior dimensions:
18 1/4" wide, 12" high, and 9" deep.
