No, Loki is not joining the army – if that’s what you were expecting you’ll be disappointed and should probably stop reading now.
This post is about training Loki to ride on the motorbike with me, sitting on the tank. As described in a previous post, this solution is fairly dangerous when you have a dog like Loki, but it would allow me to ride without the sidecar once in a while so I’m hoping to get him used to it at least for short distances (like less than an hour at a time).
The sun wasn’t shining yet, no one wanted to go for a ride and we were bored so I thought I’d test out my new camcorder set-up and see how it would go with Loki sitting on the tank.
One of the reasons I moved to the boring “country side” was to have a quiet place to try this kind of stuff out without bothering other people or other people bothering me. Also Loki is a lot more relaxed “at home”, which helps for this kind of exercise.
The test went surprisingly well and if you’re interested in watching it, here’s a real time video of it.
(!) The video is bad: it’s not well edited (I don’t know much about it yet), the sound is awful, there’s some French speaking and it lasts a whole 16 minutes. I recommend watching it in x1.5 or even x2.
Enjoy nonetheless!
Also, if you’re wondering why Loki is so chill: we cycled for 15km before that, so he was pretty tired, too tired to resist.

Loki, ce chien exemplaire. Je suis impressionnée (impressionnée par le harnais aussi, ça rigole pas).
Ben écoute, quand on est Influencer faut investir et tester der produits de qualité, on est effectivement pas là pour rire.
J’ai aussi un “harnais” pour moi, histoire de l’attacher à mon buste. L’idée étant qu’assis il pourra mieux trouver son équilibre surtout dans les virages, mais vu comme il a tendance à vouloir se faire la belle je pense que je vais commencer par le laisser dans le sac fermé.
Et oui, l était tellement fatigué, il avait pas la force de se rebeller, bien pratique pour le coup.
