Teddy Bear

[hap2]

I'm thinking of putting a 5' Teddy Bear on the passenger seat of my 1500 & open to suggestions of how to keep it secured on there so nobody walks away with it.

I use stainless steel aircraft lock wire. Won't rust and a person can not untwist it with bare fingers without serious damage to themselves. I have a small joke object wired to my trunk rack.

Good idea!

Can u send me some pics (close up ones too) as to how & where you have it wired to.

You cannot wire a five foot teddy bear where I have this wired. I was thinking wire the bear's legs to the rear passenger handles. Pics of what I have done would not assist with this. Wire bundle ties might work as well, as long as they were substantial, so people could not break them with their fingers. (known as zip ties) I have some of the Tim Horton pole sign ties that are a half inch wide and three feet long that would probably work perfectly. Maybe if you know a Tim's manager, you could beg some from them. They throw them away half the time. My wife managed one for twenty years, so I have lots of them and they do come in handy for a job that needs a "REAL" zip tie. As far as pics go, I am not techy, and do not have a cell phone, sorry.

I'll follow this thread for sure - I've been contemplating a Gorilla for the backseat - helmet and all.

Ok, I will be the first to ask. Why on earth are you strapping a 5' teddy bear to your motorcycle?

I don't know, makes perfect sense to me!

Because the six foot ones were out of stock?

Well I am going to stick to my 6'3", blonde, Lithuanian, drop dead gorgeous, professional tennis player.................and I hope I don't wake up any time soon.

It's fabric, all you can really do is slow them down a little. If someone really wants it, that's that. Having said that, keeping the limbs from flapping around is something you might want to do, too. A few thoughts come to mind, Make a "seat belt" between the grab handles with one of those locking luggage straps. Secure the legs with wire or zip ties as was already mentioned. Have a reinforced grommet sewn in, like a bike cover, where you can run a cable lock through it.

Or just hire someone to wear a bear suit and wait on the back with a shotgun. Then watch the hilarity ensue.
