Did any of you happen to see this?

Pat Chicas at ORC took this pic, of a dog racing a bike at the start of the Baja 500 race...

:Wow1: The number on the bike is 608X. A quick look at the SCORE race results shows that 608X Mike Schelin registered times at all CP's and FINISHED the race with a time of 17:49:36 :victory: I wonder if the dog rode the whole way???

Yes, there have been several stories about the pair. The dog didn't accompany the rider for the entire race but I believe did ride a couple of 'legs' (pun definitely intended).

Ha, that is great.

If I tried that with Yukon it would seriously throw off the COG...

That would be like riding 2-up. Would Yukon even FIT on a bike?!?! :Wow1:
