OS ANGELES (AP) — Some silken-haired beauties are eager sidekicks to motorcycle riders, wind whipping their thick locks as passers-by watch the wild ride with envy. That is until the slobber starts.

These passengers are pooches — mastiffs, Labradors and Chihuahuas often clad in goggles and tiny leather jackets that fly along in blimp-shaped buckets attached to the side of motorcycles. They are set apart from other pets by speed instead of breed.

Buddy of mine claims that the best babe magnet ever was his German Shepherd in the side hack of his R 69S BMW.

I don’t know why but when I first glanced at that, I saw a soft-serve vanilla ice cream cone, not a snake.

[Slings and Arrows]

Do you have a little helmet and goggles for him?

[Salamander]

Well, when they first met, Don did try to lick him.

[Salamander]

Nope.

He travels in his pink backpack.

He also has a personalized pet carrier for really hot days. :)

[Slings and Arrows]

Pity - it would have made for a great Snakes In Hats pic.

Little leather aviator helmet with flaps and huge goggles.

[Slings and Arrows]

Oh, I would love to see that. Pure awesome.

[Salamander]

How's about Pinky the Pirate, instead?

[Doomonyou]

Nice hijack of the thread! LOL!

OK I don't have this pup yet, I'll be getting him this weekend. He'll ride shotgun in my truck.

[Slings and Arrows]

ARRRRRhissssssss!

[Salamander]

OMG, he’s so cute it hurts!

Have you chosen a name, yet?

He looks like Jack, to me.

:)
