I noticed that when he wears that, he shows more tolerance of riding at higher speeds.(04-13-2019, 11:57 PM)dbarkdoll_imp Wrote: Oh no, poor Rudi.
Would Rudi (or any animal) where some sort of "ear muffs" to dampen the issue of hearing loss due to wind noise? Or does folding back the ears work well enough?

They do make such a thing. Popular with my flying friends who like to take their dogs along in small, noisy airplanes. Google "Mutt Muffs".

Thanks for the suggestion. The Mutt Muffs look like they would be effective. May have to put a pair on the gear list!

This thread is fantastic. I’ve been riding for 4 years now. I own a ‘78 CB750 and a 2014 CB1100 Deluxe. But, ever since I’ve been riding, I’m home less and feel bad for my super adventurous cattle dog. I’m selling my 750 and most likely getting a sidecar and CB1100 standard. Seems great! I’m glad I looked on here.

When I read your post at first I thought that you were homeless !

Hello all,
Just checking in to update this thread. This past weekend's weather was finally decent enough to take Rudi and our smaller dog, Lana out for a good ride. Took the back roads to a festival in the Lake Erie town of Port Clinton, OH.

Here's Rudi curiously watching the drawbridge raising:

Hoping to take a few longer trips again this summer. Will check back in later.
Keep on riding!

Looks like Rudy is very happy
RE: CB1100 Sidecar Experiment - GoldOxide_imp - 06-11-2019
So very cool.

Hi Rudy!
New CB1100 Sidecar Rider - deltamark - 10-14-2019
Hello CB Riders,
Last month, a number of you met my CB1100 Sidecar-riding dog, Rudi. Well, Hank is the latest canine addition to our family. He's almost 11-months old, is the same mix as Rudi, and began his sidecar training yesterday.

[url=https://youtu.be/kh1U5eF_wvQ]Here's a short clip of Hank's first ride.
I suggested to my wife that if Hank takes to this, she might also have to get a sidecar rig next year. Hmm, maybe it's time to plan for another CB1100 rig!
