Thank you. I love Urals, but wasn’t comfortable with the potential maintenance or repairs they might require. My bike is a 2014 Honda CB 1100 and the sidecar is used, from a 2002 Ural Tourist. I had a professional install the sidecar to the motorcycle. The dog is a NewfyPoo - Newfoundland/standard poodle. Pretty sure it’s the Newfoundland that gives them the mellow disposition. One of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had. Wish you the best.

@@wheelstrailsandtails3709 It is awesome my friend. Do enjoy all ya can. Blessings.

My bike is a 2014 Honda CB1100. The sidecar is from a Ural.

So very sorry for your loss. And yes, they are the absolute best co-pilots!

Thanks.. Yes, the Pacific Northwest is incredible!

I hope your dog will like the sidecar. Best of luck to you!

Hello Ace. Not exactly sure what type of update you were looking for, but we sadly had to put Rudii down recently. He had a number of health issues and could no longer lead the kind of life he deserved. I do plan to post a video about him, but I just haven't had the motivation to do it lately.

Thank you. Yes, they are a great combination!

The leashes I used for the straps were made by Coastal and the harness is a Kong brand. If those specific types are not available, I would just shop for the heaviest duty products you can find.

Ok Thank you I appreciate it.

Thank you. Yes. I feel lucky to be able to do this and he makes it even better!

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.

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.

Thanks very much. I appreciate your comment.

Love this bike! The sidecar is from an old Ural. Their side cars are not sold separately. I found it at a dealer who was selling it because the bike had a blown engine. I had a professional sidecar installer build and attach a sub frame to the bike for the sidecar. You might be able to find a Ural on the used market. Otherwise, DMC of Texas makes and sells a similar sidecar.

Thanks very much!

Thank you!

You've got that right!

Thank you.

👍

No, on this trip I was riding a 2013 BMW R1200RT.

👍

If you know of a source for large dog helmets, please let me know.

I’m sure more aggressive tires would make a big difference. Will definitely consider some for the next set. Thanks.

And it is always a such a good feeling to see those smiles. 👍

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.

I would be happy to help you, but I'd need to know more about your situation. Piloting a sidecar motorcycle is very different than riding a standard motorcycle. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who had a sidecar motorcycle. He let me ride it before I made a purchase. This Internet forum is an excellent place for information about motorcycle sidesidecars. Not sure where you are located, but there are also a lot of good used side car motorcycles for sale on this site. www.advrider.com/f/forums/hacks.56/ There are many very experienced sidecar enthusiasts on this forum and they are extremely helpful. This is where I started. If you have other questions, I would be more than happy to assist. Please feel free to post it here. : )

@@wheelstrailsandtails3709 well for us it’s real simple. I haven’t been on a bike in about 20 years her and probably about 15. Of course she was a sport bike rider I’ve always been a cruiser rider. So we’ve got to get back into it first, take the courses that I think are good refreshers. And then of course we would be starting from the beginning. So if they’re a good videos that teach step-by-step how to get your dog used to doing this that would be great. Obviously I figure riding with a sidecar would be different as I know he would California require special licensing as well.

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!

Thanks! He truly is a unique pooch.

Ha ha! Yes, he sometimes seems to be the Don Juan of motorcycle sidecar dogs. 😄

Our wonderful companions. : )

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. : )

Thank you!

Thanks. He’s really hanging in there for a nearly 90 lbs. dog over 13 years old!

Aww, thank you so much.

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!

Thanks for the comment.

The boat in the video is a tandem kayak. It has two cockpits. I thought our 4-year old dog, Hank would ride in the kayak, but it was our 13-year old motorcycle sidecar dog, Rudi who was willing to go for a ride in the kayak. We should have some new boating adventures this year, though!

Yes, the sidecar is from a Ural motorcycle. Of all the sidecars I have seen, I like the Ural models the best!

Not much. A tent, food and some good bourbon. : )

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.

Yes, unfortunately, many of the secondary rural roads near us are not well maintained.
