Duke's guardian, Lou writes:

This is Duke. Duke is a pit bull mix. His mother was rescued behind a dumpster in Wisconsin and taken to a shelter in Illinois that my girlfriend worked at. She fell in love with him & took him home 10 weeks later. He used to ride around town on my Harley Softail when he was smaller - my girlfriend would hold him in her lap - but he has since grown too big.

I made a Dog Carrier out of his original dog kennel by cutting the top off. I was able to purchase a rear rack and put the modified kennel on the back of my Kawasaki KLR650 and he loves riding around Ch-town with me. He can ride in weather down to around 40 degrees by putting a coat, my old heated vest, and a hat on him.
 
I have purchased a couple of pins for my girlfriend & I but just saw you have a biker dog club & am going to sign Duke up for that. Here are a couple of photos of him on the bike. I included one of my girlfriend on the Harley, but the dog is not in that photo. <Woofmaster says, well, we normally don't post photos without the dogs, but, well, AR-ROO-ROO-WOOF!>
