At 15 years old, my little dog loved short cruises in the sidecar.
At 16 years old, her balance wasn’t as good as before, so it was only short neighborhood rides at that point.
At 17 years old, she’d still want to ride down to the central mailbox for her fix.
She got her wings last Thursday, but that little girl sure sure knew how to have fun at every opportunity.
Dogs are the best copilots!
So very sorry for your loss. And yes, they are the absolute best co-pilots!
As a rider myself, I have lost count how many times I have been hit by debris on my helmet visor and hit hard. Imagine if I wasn't wearing eye protection, I would have had a bad injury by now so I am glad this owner protects the eyes of his dog because they can pick up an eye injury when dogs stick their head out of a car window, and there doesn't need to be traffic anywhere for that to happen.
You've got that right!
That's Really Cool, Especially If You're An Old Guy! Thank You.
You are lucky, you can have your dog in supermarket, in France, it s forbiden. You dog is cute!
Thank you. Most stores and shops here do not allow dogs unless they are designated assistance dogs. Many hardware stores, pet stores and restaurants with outdoor patios are becoming more pet friendly, though. When I travel with my dogs, I seek out places like this.
Rudi is so cool.
Thanks! He truly is a unique pooch.
Love the dog he really enjoys the ride but I can’t get over the terrible state of the roads they look all cracked !!
Yes, unfortunately, many of the secondary rural roads near us are not well maintained.
I love this so much!!! Very sweet doggie.
Thanks very much!
Yo amo las mascotas 💗🐾
Our wonderful companions. : )
This is pretty funny!
Thanks!! My dogs make me laugh nearly every day.
Love your dog.😍🥰
Aww, thank you so much.
knitted ring over the ears is good,- wind is hell on follicles
Yes, without that knitted ring, his big ears would flop all over the place.
cool doggie! Great passenger, no complaining about the wind or cold. I know most dogs LOVE a pickup truck. It stands to reason that a doggie would go bonkers over a motorbike side car. Sweet!
For sure. If there’s any complaining going on, it’s going to be coming from me. Then I look at him and see how relaxed and content he is and I just have to smile and tell myself to act like him. :-)
@@wheelstrailsandtails3709 your pooch is GREAT! Give him a snack from all his YT buds!
Sure will. He’s all about snacks!
So adorable
Thank you.
Utterly charming. Big smile.
Thank you!
That is the cutest thing. I am so happy he enjoys riding with his owner. I think it's so adorable when man's best friend likes to go with their owners in cars and trucks and sit in the passenger seat. It's so stinkin cute !
Thank you. He’s now quite old for his size and cannot walk very far, but he still loves to take a ride at every opportunity. : )
I am so happy he loves to go for rides. It's really cute I know that. You have one special dog there. He will remember all the special rides with you forever.
So adorable. Poor cute little doggy has a sore left rear leg. But so lucky to be with his human.
Aww, thank you. He just turned 13 years old and that is pretty good for his size. He does get very stiff in his rear end, but still loves to ride. :-)
living his best life 👏🏻
Yes, and he helps me live mine. : )
He looked like he'd ridden a lot. 😃😃😃
I estimate that he has ridden more than 10,000 miles. 😄
Love the coordinated leash and coat. Dogols are so important!
:-)
This is the content I signed up for, thank you for posting this :)
Thanks for the nice comment. :-)
I always wanted to be able to do that with my Boxer.
Enjoy Life Rudi and Have a Blast!🐾💜
Thank you!
Good for you, mister.. :) :)
Thank you!
Adorable pooch ! 🥰
Thank you. He’s a great companion. : )
I like that you gave thought to his comfort, and eye and ear protection. He is obviously well cared for, and having a great life.
Thank you for your comment. I do always try to think of him first. I always keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't seem uncomfortable.
Beautiful experiences!
Thank you, yes, he makes it wonderful. :-)
So good with that ears protector. My first rescue dog 30 years ago kept getting an infection in only one ear - Vet could not figure it out but I realised it was the side he had his head out the Window. XX
When he first started riding, he seemed uncomfortable at speed. I think it was because his ears were flapping. When I added the wrap-around band for his ears, he seemed much more comfortable.
Rudi is so well behaved.
Thank you. He’s always been a very mellow dog.
Rudi 's doing really great!!!
Thanks. He’s really hanging in there for a nearly 90 lbs. dog over 13 years old!
Yay
: )
Ha the hot rod hound....
He’s ready!
Rudi is such a good boy, he deserved that nice treat 😊
Thank you. 😄 Yes, he is a good boy, especially when he gets to take a ride in the sidecar!
Добро !!! Коляска от русского мотоцикла Урал ? 😋😋👍👍🍓🍓
Yes, the sidecar is from a Ural motorcycle. Of all the sidecars I have seen, I like the Ural models the best!
What a beautiful dog with a great temperament you have - I had a big standard red poodle (90lbs) who went everywhere with me and my wife and although he was big, was very gentle - little kids would run up out of the blue and hug him, because he looked like a teddy bear to them. He took it all in good humour.
Rudi is very similar to your dog in temperament. He is also very gentle and loves kids and people. : )
He must have the time of his life riding sidesaddle. You must have the time of your life. You two are the men of life and being dapper. Bless you and yours
Thank you for your wonderfully kind comment. It is a great experience. I only wish that I would have started this sooner … he was 9 years old when we took our first ride together, but I’ve now learned to treasure each day with him. : )
That is so awesome! Coolest doggo ever!
Thanks so much! He truly loves to ride. :)
Great video, wonderful dog , excellent combination ,empty roads and fabulous location. Enjoed watching this a lot.
Thanks very much. I appreciate your comment.
omggggg toooo cute!!!
Thank you. : )
Oh if I saw you two I would be smiling from ear to ear. So cute.
And it is always a such a good feeling to see those smiles. 👍
This is great and I can see you rise very carefully but I can't help but think his nose must get cold !
If we are going a long distance, I think his nose may become cold, but if he becomes uncomfortable or bored, he will lie down in the Sidecar.
Yep, I think I’m in love. Rudi is my kinda guy. Self assured, knows what he likes and wants, a good listener and pleased with his life ❤
Ha ha! Yes, he sometimes seems to be the Don Juan of motorcycle sidecar dogs. 😄
I love your dog, and i don't even know you.
Ha ha! Thank you Clavius. He's very laid back and loves people, so he makes a lot of friends when we're out riding.
Nice. Dogs an sidecara go together. Rudi seems very well suited for the travel. I got both a sidecar and a golden retriever in the past year. Hoping to get out on some big road trips with the dog and hack. Cheers ~GrizzLee
Thank you. Yes, I was very fortunate because Rudi adapted very easily to riding in the sidecar. In the beginning, I used his favorite toy to coax him into the sidecar and made sure to reward him for every short ride. I hope your Golden adapts well.
Amazing love it
Thanks much. He's an excellent rider.
So cute. Lovin Rudi,s look. Unfortunately our retired military dog Riki is unable to get in and out of the car now. We’ve always taken him everywhere with us. Look forward to seeing more of your travels. ❤️❤️❤️
Aww, sorry to hear about your Riki. Rudi is really slowing down too and it is getting difficult for him to do things that require climbing up or down. We can still appreciate each day of their companionship though!
Love Rudis outfit. Very becoming. ❤️❤️😡
Everyone seems to love his mask, but it does serve a protective purpose and he doesn’t mind wearing it. :-)
This is adorable ,but I think you need seat belt for him
Thank you.
@@wheelstrailsandtails3709 your welcome and thanks for showing us what a great dog you have!!
What a good dog...
Thank you, George! Yes, he's been a wonderful dog and riding partner. : )
Gotta get him a fitted doggo helmet.
If you know of a source for large dog helmets, please let me know.
So nice to go for a ride with your dog. Did that for years.
Yes, dogs can be wonderful riding companions!
This is awesome
Thank you! This dog certainly is an, "easy rider.":-)
Well done. When does Rudi take the wheel?
Ha ha! He shows no interest in piloting the rig.
id be so scared he would randomly jump out if he saw a rabbit (or anything he wanted to chase etc) but im sure hes a good doggo
When he started riding, I would strap him into the Sidecar. As he's gotten older, he seems to have little to no chase instinct, nor does he ever get overly excited. He has now ridden over 16,000 KM and has never tried to jump out of the Sidecar. I know that I am fortunate and hope that stays that way for the remainder of his riding days.
@@wheelstrailsandtails3709 i would just be so nervous, but that's mainly because we have a retarded family Chihuahua that thinks its mike tyson
LOL! Most of the Chihuahuas I've ever seen seem to have the presence of Mike Tyson!
i love this my yorkie would like to ride but i dont have a side car if i had an accident and she got hurt id never forgive myself
I can relate to your feeling. I also would feel horrible if anything were to happen to him. I try to be extra vigilant when riding with him.
Rudi iyi köpek, sahibi iyi insan ...
Thank you for the kind words. : )
Can a fully grown Rottweiler be able to sit in the Sidecar. I am thinking of taking my rottweiler for a All India Trip. By the way, It's Happy to see you taking your dog for a ride. 💖 from INDIA.
The sidecar that I have is from a Ural motorcycle. I think it is spacious enough for a grown Rottweiler. My dog, Rudi weighs about 41 kg. I'm sure your dog weighs more, but if you remove the Ural windshield, I'm pretty certain he would fit. I hope you are able to do it!
@@wheelstrailsandtails3709 Thanks for the Info.
Muito legal o vídeo! Estou pensando em comprar um sidecar para minha Interceptor 650 - Royal Enfield e levar meus cachorros nos passeios. Abraço!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
I really like Royal Enfield motorcycles. I have never seen a sidecar attached to an Interceptor. If you do add a sidecar, be sure to practice before riding with your dog. A motorcycle with a sidecar is a completely different ride. I wish you the best! Thank you for watching. : )
Please protect this precious pup & get him a helmet.
As least give him a chance to survive, if God forbid you were ever in an accident.
👍
You your bike and your dog what more do you need?
Not much. A tent, food and some good bourbon. : )
Nice video!
Can you do one on just the bike? I need some close ups
There are additional stills of the bike at this forum thread: cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=12374
Is he a Doodle of some kind?
He's a 12-year-old Newfoundland / Poodle (Newfypoo) rescue.
Where's Rudi's helmet? Why isn't he strapped in?
Cannot find a helmet made for a dog his size. I do harness him into the sidecar at times, but wonder if that would be actually be disadvantageous in a crisis.
@@wheelstrailsandtails3709 Thank you for your comment. I watched a guy with his dog and he somehow either made or found a helmet to fit his pup (he was a fairly small dog too). Either way, it's cool that he gets to ride with you. He is really enjoying the whole thing. You might be right about being tethered.
Kudos for the well-trained sidecar dog. Is that a Ural or Dnepr tub or a DMC?
Thanks. He pretty much trained himself! The sidecar is from a 2002 Ural Tourist. I've always like the design of the Ural sidecar. It makes it easier for the dog to get in and out.
Where is his helmet?
I've never seen a helmet made for a dog his size.
This is a beautiful video! I love how this gentleman treats his beloved doggo like human, he talks to this doggo too! I talk to our doggo all the time! May I kindly ask how to prevent doggo from having motion sickness? I want to take our doggo to more dog parks but he has motion sickness and if car ride is more than 6 mins, he would vomit. I have Cerenia for dogs but it is not affordable for everyday use, it costs almost $20 per pill so it costs almost $20 per day and it’s not affordable to use it everyday. I tried Gravol after consulting with the vet but Gravol does not work well for him. I am giving him a teaspoon of organic ginger powder per meal to boost his immune system so ginger is already a daily consumption and ginger does not seem to help motion sickness, please share your insights and experiences if u can, many thanks! 🙏❤️
Thank you for the kind words. I am fortunate that my dogs do not display any signs of motion sickness when riding in the motorcycle sidecar. Perhaps that is because they are constantly exposed to the air. I wondered if it would help if you open your car windows as much as possible to allow for increased fresh air. In addition to the medications you mention, I’ve also been told that some people use GABA, which might be found in a health food store. I wish you the best of luck with your doggos!
@@wheelstrailsandtails3709 Many thanks for your reply! I will check out GABA, hopefully it will help so I can take him to other dog parks! We live close to one small dog park which is a 3 min drive and I drive him to this small dog park everyday, I really wanna take him to other dog parks so he can explore more places and sniff other doggo smells in grass or trees, he loves sniffing everywhere haha! I love animals more than human so when I watch your video with your beloved doggo, I feel so happy! I do not have human child and our doggo and two cats are our children. I drive our doggo to the nearest dog park instead of walking him there because he is a tripod, he lost his right front leg due to abuse in Iran when he was a stray around 2 years old. Then he was rescued and had been living in a poor shelter outdoor there for a few years. A local rescue in Canada here that connects to other high kill shelters and poor shelters in the world posted his adoption profile and my boyfriend found him online and adopted him! He came to Canada in May 12, 2021 and live with us and he is the love of my life! Even he only has three legs, but he is very resilient, strong and brave! I learn from him everyday and I’ve been so happy since he’s in our lives. We are very lucky to have him, he is a 6 years old Anatolian Shepherd mix! Your video is very inspiring, I hope one day I can get a motorbike like yours and have a ride with him everyday! 🙏❤️
Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you not short leash him in the sidecar? I know he is well mannered but I would be concerned with an emergency maneuver tossing him out of the sidecar. Maybe I missed seeing it. I'm presently attaching a sidecar, so my dog can also ride along. He is a Goldendoodle.
You are correct. I do not tether him to the sidecar. I know that many will disagree, but I feel that in a critical situation or collision, he might be better able to survive if he were not tied to the sidecar. My thinking is that the sidecar doesn’t have the type of protection that one has in an automobile and having him tied to it might make matters worse in many situations. I ride extremely conservatively when traveling with him in the hope of reducing the severity of a potential emergency maneuver, but I know there are no guarantees.
I will tether our other dog when I eventually travel with him because I’m not completely confident that he won’t jump out due to his chase instinct and or inexperience.
I think everyone has to make a tethering decision based on the individual dog and your interpretation of the risks involved.
I wish you miles of enjoyment with your dog. It is a wonderful experience. All the best!
@@wheelstrailsandtails3709 Well explained. Guess my main concern would be a severe accident avoidance move possibly throwing him out of the sidecar especially since your sidecar has the open side. My doodle sits very still in my car, I'll have to see how he does in the sidecar. Rudi is a great looking dog. Being a senoir dog I hope he still has good years ahead of him. Mine is 23 months old, still a wild child. Take care and I wish you the best.
Thats what i call a great companions,Rudi looks like he's realy enjoying himself riding in to open air.
Thanks. He is a great companion and truly gets excited to go for rides.
Hi, what amazing videos you produce . Can I kask what chair that is please ? I have promised a friend who is unwell I will take care of her dog for her when the time comes and I’m a life long motorcycle rider
I hope to teach her to ride with me I hope to attach or it to a triumph scrambler
Thank you very much. I'm sorry to hear that your friend is unwell. You are an extremely kind person for offering to help her.
The sidecar I have is a from a Ural motorcycle, but the Ural company does not sell the sidecar separately. I purchased it from a dealer who sold it separately because the bike had a blown engine.
According to a professional installer that I worked with, the Triumph Bonneville is a great bike for a sidecar. I am not sure about the Scrambler, but that bike seems similar in design.
You might be able to find a separate Ural sidecar if you check out web sites where used items are sold. Check out the Soviet Steeds web forum. It is dedicated to Ural motorcycles and they have a "for sale" area where you might find something.
Best of luck!
where did u buy that sidecar?
I purchased the sidecar from a Ural dealer in Eaton, Ohio (Heindl Engineering). They were selling it separately because the bike it was attached to had a blown engine.
What side car is that how big a bike is needed?
The Sidecar is from a Ural motorcycle. Ural does not sell the Sidecar separately, but sometimes you can find one in the used market.
I believe the older Ural motorcycles were 650 cc it's a somewhat heavy sidecar, so you would probably want at least a 650.
Beautiful pup but needs a helmet should you crash to protect the head.
👍
You know....add a seatbelt and a helmet for the dog. Seriously....at least a decent seatbelt by now, not those crappy ones at the store. Give it a though?
Thanks for the suggestions. If I could find a helmet made for a dog his size, I would give it a go.
