Rudolf-
I've traveled all over with my dog. Most recently I've been traveling in Nepal and India with Kipper, a Jack Russell Terrior. We have an Enfield 350 cc. I had a special cushion made that i strap over the tank. There is a rain/wind flap that I can deploy if weather gets to be an issue.
We've been traveling for 7/8 months now, no problems. I've only been refused entry into one restaurant. Never been refused a hotel room.
All I needed was an International Health Certificate and a stamp from the USDA. It took 1 and half days. No one checked for her papers in the USA, Germany, India or Nepal airports! We've crossed into Nepal 1x, India 3x, Pakistan 1x and never had to show papers.
I do make sure if we have an important day that she's all gussied up, collar and address and rabies tags in place...
I recommend you get a retractable leash, I think those are safest for motorcycles. This was if you have a wreck his/her neck won't snap, there will be plenty of give but you can real the pooch in safely from traffic. I have mine losely attached to the crash bar. In India it's not a matter of IF you will wreck, it's a matter of HOW many times. I'm really glad I had the retractable leash because I could always maintain control of her safely. She by the way never got hurt and was always excited to jump back on. I am the one that has the sore body parts.
I don't regret bringing her at all. People love to meet her and so many more doors and opportunities have opened up to us because of her. She also is a great companion and guard dog.
Good luck, go for it!!!
