Dumb post, but I'll let it stand. Ok... Is your dog worth a story? Bob716SR

Does anyone remember that guy who used to ride the OT nationals on a Yamaha XT back in the 80s. He rode with a dog on his gas tank! I also remember when I was about 5 or so. We lived in Ridgecrest and my dad raced D-37 desert races. There was a guy that raced with his dog "Kookie" on his gas tank.

You opened a can of worms! Ranger has a million stories to tell!
There was Spring Classic Lake Whitney, Texas, Ranger met a played with no less than thirty dogs and made at least 100 new people friends. He also, got on the local news there! Then when we went to Hangtown for the Amateur day, Ranger literally dragged me to this man and his trailer (turns out he was one of Rangers buddies from Texas, that happened to live in california).
He views himself as the motocross dog ambassador of the world.
He always knows which bike on the track is Robert's and watches him practice.
He has also been known to run blindly towards the track (looking for me), when he escapes from the trailer at a race or practice. He's a bit of a momma's dog and very proud of it!

What are you worried about, he won't eat much. He's just an itty bitty puppy dog!

O.K. I have to brag about the non-motocross dog. Tuffy is so smart he's kinda scary.
Yesterday, one of our chickens died and Tuffy buried it under a tree...he took me to it today and showed it to me...and no he didn't kill the chicken, it died of old age!

I have cats. Never brought them to the races, though.
I'm allergic to Sprocket.

I have cats also. I saved them from being trapped and put down. They are feral cats that were born under a con-x at a job site I worked at. They now live in my back yard. They are Co and Gen. I was working at a CO-GEN plant. Co likes to sneek into my garage and get on the seat of my motorcycle. Gen just runs when I look at her.

Mine are former alley cats too--Cadence and Oliver. Cats or dogs, adopting from a shelter is a great way to go. It's a good feeling to know you saved an animal.

I bring my Cat to the races all the time. ;D She even races I've brought our dog a couple of times to the track but for some reason Barron keeps biting guys on black two stroke Hondas. I can't figure it out. I have cats also....Gen just runs when I look at her. Can you blame her?

No one beats my dog that my wife got me. She is only 3 lbs and cute as heck. She thinks she is a big pitbull! The best thing about her which I told my wife thanks is that "SHE IS A CHICK MAGNET". You will see here at Stead. I will rent her out to young men looking for chicks for $20 per hour.
