This has got to be wrong

[Simon.Pieman]

I visit a mate in Thailand every year and he rides around on his step thru with his terrier sitting on his lap. The pooch loves it and almost everytime we open the front door of my mates house it bounds out the door and jumps up on the bike and sits on the seat, ready and eager for a ride! When under way the dog puts his paws on the handlebars and the funniest thing ever is that he barks at dogs coming the other way on other bikes -and they bark back, lol. Sometimes matey's girlfriend is on the bike too and there will be a scuba tank on board held in place by my mates knees with half a ton of dive gear in the front basket. It's difficult to dissaprove of this, 'needs must' as my mate would say.
Dogs you don't want to see on bikes are the forlorn looking creatures that stare out from topbox 'cages' in Vietnam. These poor things are taken home, fattened up on scraps and then eaten for dinner a few days later. Dog tastes pretty awful I can report.
