Seen it done a few times. And this month's Classic Bike has a gorgeous
archive pic of a cat riding pillion on some horrible old Honda CB250G5
(poor creature)

There is a guy 'Rob' that takes his Jack Russell, Mini, around on the tank
of his Harley.
Raises loads of money for Battersea Dogs home I think.
I'll see if I can find some pics.

I stopped at the West End café in Llandovery a few weekends ago. I met a
chap called Colin riding an R1100GS. As I was preparing to leave he
approached his bike and tethered a Jack Russell terrier to the bars. As
there was no apparent mechanism for restraining the dog on the bike I made
enquiries. As his SO approached, Colin stated that the dog sits inbetween
pillion and rider.
The couple originate from South Africa and have now chosen to live in
Abergavenny. Very strange folk, in more ways than one.

I passed a guy on the M4 last weekend. Old ratbike, didn't see what it was,
but had an old-style topbox on the rear carrier, lid bungee'd shut, with a
hole cut in the top and a Jack Russell's head poking out. The dog had no
lid or goggles, but to be fair the guy was only doing about 50. Dog seemed
to be having a whale of a time, making faces at the passing traffic.
My dog weighs about 5 stone, so it probably isn't an option, even on the
Bandit. I'm sure he'd love it, though.

Right I've stuck a couple of pics up I've found of Rob & Mini.
Also there are some pics here of a giant poodle, Oliver that goes around in
a big trailer towed by a Harley!
I'm sure there are lots more!
