A boxer is barking over biking after hitching a 70mph ride on his owner's Harley Davidson.

Slobber has clocked up 480km (300miles) riding pillion with Nick Rickman since he was a puppy.

His owner, an engineer, originally built a wooden box on his pushbike to take Slobber to his workshop in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

But the eight-year-old boxer loved the trip so much, the 46-year-old built a special fibreglass carrier for his £12,000 Superglide Sport Harley.

The unlikely pair love going out on Sunday road trips where they always seem to get a wave from other motorists. 'You see people in their cars doing double takes to check if it is really a dog or just a really ugly woman,' said Mr Rickman.

'No one has ever crashed when they've seen us flying along but I'm sure a few have taken their eye off the road for a few seconds.

'We always get a wave when people overtake us and I'm sure Slobber raises his paw to say hi.'

He added: 'There aren't many places I have visited without my favourite riding partner.'



I can't imagine any of ours doing this, they are far too hyper, it takes you to have a peaceful journey in the car.
