Which Dog Breeds Enjoy Motorcycle Rides?
The others gave good advice. It does happen to many, they buy a bike and think they will enjoy it, but they get scared when something ahppens, like they get cut off or scrap the pegs, many then give up and sell the bike cheap. That is probably for the best, not everybody can ride a MC, nor should they. Take the safety course and then PRACTICE, large empty parking lots, uncongested side roads etc. if you are still bothered by what could happen, then you just might not be cut out for MC riding. When I first started I was nervous, was unsure about my skills and about others out on the road. After a couple of days of riding in a beach area, slow speeds it got better. I had a couple of wrecks as well, after a bad one I had taken about 4 months off of riding, and when I picked up my bike after that I was really shaky, especially since it was a brand new bike, a Ducati at that, I was getting on, AND the driveway of the shop dropped right onto a very busy street. I thought I was going to dump in my pants and could barely get my leg over the thing I was so shaky! After 2 miles I was back in rythym and never looked back. You have a good bike, BUT it is not as fun to ride as some other types of bikes. It is a cruiser, and if it is lowered, then you must scrap pegs often through turns, NOT the best way to learn to ride and sure doesn't help the confidence of an inexperienced rider, and no, it would not be much fun having that happen. I have some low bikes and they are not much fun through the turns, the scrapping doesn't scare me, I am used to that after 28 years of riding, but they are not nearly as much fun as my standard bikes with a straight up riding position and higher ground clearence, so you can lean into turns without worrying about scraping, and standards are usually a little lighter than cruisers and have better brakes. So getteing a standard might make thinsg more fun.

I think it has less to do with breed and more to do with training. If you have a side car for the dog to sit comfortably in, then just about any small or medium breed will do if you train them right. Start slow so they can get used to the feel, just like with any other training, and take it from there. As for the tire chewing, well dogs like to chew and motorcycle tires are just the right size to chew on. They are essentially, to the dog, a giant chew toy. Again train the dog not to do that and they won't do that.
The thickness makes no difference to conductivity but it is all important to the amount of current it can handle, the thicker the wire the more current it can carry.
