A side car would be sweet for my dog. A Stella with a sidecar would be even sweeter

Dang they are pricey. I think it would be cool to have one for my dog to ride in. Imagine this dude with goggles and his ears flapping in the wind rocken to "Born to be wild". See hes bummed cause he cant fit on the scoot.

Thanks Rebel. His name is Torquer and he is a cool dog. Going on 8 this year and going strong, he can pull me on my scooter at 20mph with the scooter off or at an idle.

i would love to get a carrier and take pluto with me but the wife is more protctive of him then she is of our son and she almost killed me when i started taking our boy for rides on the scooter so i know i would be dead if i took the dog for a ride but i cant wait till wednsday so i can go in and pay for my scoot and i hope set up will be done before saturdays ride so i can look like a fool relearning how to shift again

The thing about dogs is that they will never disappoint you, will always be glad to see you, and will be loyal to the end. Not true with cats or any other pet that I know of, or at least have owned.
Children well that is another story all together. Now I'm not saying that you will not love hte kids more than the dog, hmmm let me think on that some more.

Congrads on the Stella purchase. The shifting will come back in no time

The DMV is funny like that, you never know who your gonna run into. Glad you are staying legal and all.
