CB1100 Sidecar Experiment

Oh no, poor Rudi. I hope he gets well ASAP.

Thanks dbarkdoll. We have him on some medication for a respiratory issue and it does seem to be helping. Hopefully warmer weather will improve it even more!

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?

Hey GoldOxide, not sure if they make ear protection for dogs. I'll have to look into that. Most all of the time, I place a stretch knit neck warmer around Rudi's ears to prevent them from flopping in the wind. Hopefully that dampens the wind noise some too. I noticed that when he wears that, he shows more tolerance of riding at higher speeds.

What make of sidecar is that? Looks like a copy of a Steib sidecar.

Hi Django, the sidecar is from a 2002 Ural Tourist. I had it painted.

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!
