Default Bike racks for motorcycles

Does anyone remember the name of the company that was in Bicycling or Mountain Bike magazine a year
or two ago with a rack for motorcycles to carry a bike? It attached to the passenger/rear peg mount
by the fork and I think the picture was of a motocross bike in the Baja 1000 with a mtn. bike on the
back. I can't seem to find it through google.

You need to also check out his dog powered scooter:

For some reason I was imagining more of a hamster wheel arrangement with a Jack Russell Terrier
in it. ;^)

That would be better, then you could coast down hills at high speed without dragging the dog along
the pavement. However motivating a dog to run inside a giant hamster wheel may be the main issue
holding back this design

Funny, I live in Bend and see Mark with the dog powered scooter. The dogs welfare doesn't seem like
Mark's first concern. Mark doesn't actually own a dog, he rents one. He says he wouldn't want to own
a dog because it's too much work. He also runs the dog on hot days for a long time. That being said
the dog he rents always looks pretty happy cruising around. And I think Mark is a good guy. The
motorcycle bike rack is cool as hell. I've seen a bmw parked with it on. I didn't realize Mark
invented that as well.

And I'm a novice mtb rider. Anyone who wants to go out and hit Phils sometime let me know.

I know someone who strapped a regular trunk bike rack to the back of his bike with bungy cords. He
does have to pay attention to the width of lane or else his bike will get knocked off the back.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. I know up close and personal how much training it takes to
make a dog trail safe, never mind street safe. I know there're a lot of dogfolk out there
that have a hard time giving their high octane dogs the sheer mileage they need to co-exist
peacefully with humans. I'd be interested to see how well they actually work. For instance,
would 75 pound Julian be able to put the brakes on 40 pound, 4WD, pawsitraction equipped
Zane, if Zane went after a squirrel?
