Yep, it took a few months of serious training to get to the point where he actually rides. In the picture we are rolling along about 15mph. I have had him up to 55 with no problems. The 'sunglasses' are actually doggles made specifically for dogs. I think they come in about 4 or 5 sizes and can be found on E-bay for around $15. The training involved several steps:

1. tank bag (on living room the floor) training with lots of treats
2. doggles training with lots of treats
3. tank bag + doggles training (still on the floor) with lots of treats
4. tank bag on the bike with lots of treats
5. tank bag on a running bike (the RT) with lots of treats
6. tank bag + doggles + running bike with lots of treats
7. tank bag + doggles + rolling bike in garage (Honda Rebel) with lots of treats
8. tank bag + doggles + running bike then driving with lots of treats (do you see a pattern here?)
9. Graduation to the R1200C on the day after his first ride on the Rebel. He went 15 miles and I only had to tell him to sit one time. Even practiced tight, lock-to-lock figure eights in a parking lot with him on the tank. I think he's a natural.

Step 3 of the training.

Cat #32 and her most recent litter ...

The kittens account for numbers 37 through 44. :cat

The kids name'em, but I number'em. :D

This is one fer-tile cat. She had three in the first litter, and eight in the second litter. We plan to have her fixed before she proliferates again!

I've posted to this thread before, but thought I'd resurrect it for the new folks. I never get sick of animals. This is Stella by the way.

Release the hounds!

I could've sworn that I had posted this pic, but guess I was mistaken. Oh well, here they are, Rocky and Patches, beagle and bluetick coonhound x respectively. Both shelter dogs...
