    Amusing cell photos snapshots

    I didn't want to highjack Keith's "Crazy Haulin Trailer" thread but it got me to thinking about this photo I snapped on the road a few weeks ago. I was driving through town and came up behind this young man with his big dog riding on the back of his motorcycle. The dog was riding in a milk crate strapped to the back seat. I followed them for 4 or 5 blocks and could tell the dog was looking around really enjoying his ride. At stop lights the dog be looking around in all directions observing his surrounding, when they started moving again the dog would peer over the shoulders focus straight ahead. Very disciplined dog, he pretty much filled all the crate, stayed very still, balancing them well. Very amusing.

    That is pretty good sized dog to ride in a milk crate. Actually I think the owner is crazy for risking the dogs and his life doing this. Wouldn't take much movement of the dog to make him lose the balance of the bike. He should have the dog taken away from him for being so reckless. Where is the ASPCA at when you need them.

    Sorry for my rant but I am a dog lover and cringe when I see a dog riding in the back of a pickup truck.

    The guys isn't wearing a helmet, and neither is the dog. Similar IQ's?

    The stupidity required to ride a motorcycle without a helmet just boggles the mind. Just think about standing still and falling down striking your head on concrete. Now think about moving on a motorcycle, even a bicycle and doing the same thing!

    The dog is clearly far more intelligent than its owner. In order for Darwin's theory to work correctly, these people need to die before they reproduce.

    Agree completely. Dog has no business on that bike.

    A woman that lives near me used to walk/jog her dog while driving. Yeah, you got it - her driving slowly and the leash out the driver's window and the dog in the street. Police finally saw that and corrected the problem.

    Stupid is as stupid does.

    Lighten up guys

    Helmet laws haven't been around very long, the same is true for seat belts and a whole list of things that not to long ago didn't exist. We used to ride in the back of pickup trucks and I still ride my bicycle without a helmet which is pretty low risk considering lots of other activities like playing high school football.

    In Texas you are allowed to be stupid and ride a motorcycle without a helmet is STUPID X2 in my book but you have to wear a seat belt in a car or truck. I have been saved at least 3 times by seat belts and would never think of not wearing one but the fact that big brother says I must wear one in my 4500# truck but some idiot weaving in and out of traffic without a helmet is OK makes me mad every time I see it.

    I agree its stupid to not wear a helmet, but why does it bother you? Your in your big truck all buckled in and the guy on the bike has no effect on you at all. I don't think we need more Government regulations. If you like wearing your seat belt and it sounds like you that's great. I think you don't like the fact that the law says you have to but it doesn't say the guy on the bike has to wear a helmet.There's hundreds of thousands of people that ride around everyday with out their seat belts on in states that have seat belt laws. They do it because they don't like being told they have to or they just don't like them, but guess what if a cop see's you have no belt on he can't pull you over for it unless he has another reason to pull you over.But hey if you don't have a helmet on an its a law wham you get a ticket and they don't need another reason.So are the laws fair, no I don't think so. Its your choice to wear that belt law or no law and its a biker's choice if there is no law but not his choice if there is a law.
    And we've gotten off the post of amusing cell phone photo's so here's one for Wayne.biker.jpg

    I think this looks fairly normal. One little speck of ice in N. Texas, and everybody parks like that.
