Bow WOW! The Latest Biker Dog Fashion
2008-05-20 02:02:00
In spring, a young dog's fancy turns to all the new scents in the air.

A speedy bike like a Harley®, for example, makes a friction of the wind like nothing else he could experience. A motor scooter will do, or just a plain old pedal bike, if it comes to that. But before getting on board, your biker dog must be able to make just the right fashion statement.
