I've seen a lot of motorcycles. I've seen a lot of luggage. But I ain't never seen a teddy bear perched so securely on top of the luggage behind a motorcycle. This was such a great sight that I had to get my camera out and take the shot, even though the light was really poor.
I'd say it's a very well-travelled bear - and obviously the chill in the air didn't worry him (or her) in the least. Come to think of it, maybe he (or she) was really hibernating on the back of that big bike.
Check out the rules at Camera Critters or go to Misty Dawn.
Cute teddy bear. And what lovely colours !
ReplyDeleteSome folk can't bear to leave home without their teddy! LOL
ReplyDeleteI can't see where the teddy bear is attached, but that looks like a great ride.
ReplyDeleteLucky Teddy! Hope he was strapped on..

Doesn't do much for the macho biker image!
ReplyDeletethats awesome. he looks well worn, must be full of hugs.
ReplyDeleteThey have packed the bear necessities of life!
ReplyDeleteCute post. hope he/she doesn't catch cold (or get overheated) depending on where they are going!
Nice photo! That must be a 'beary' special bear indeed.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Imac's teddy bear on the back of that bike.
ReplyDeleteMy teddy will be so jealous. He is always complaining that he doesn't go anywhere, but then he does not like the wind in his fur.
ReplyDeleteBear with him, he might get wet? But he does not seem to mind much!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE teddy bears, did you know that?
Aw bless! I really hope it's strapped on well..
ReplyDeleteLove the teddy. I'm thinking of taking mine on my trips! I just need to find a teddy-doctor first...

ReplyDeleteGreat capture! My husband always takes a little stuffed black bear of mine tied to the back of his motorcycle when he travels too. After all these miles the little guy is pretty 'smooth.'
ReplyDeleteAwww...I wouldn't be able to leave my teddy behind either. That's so cute! Thanks David!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I love that image so much!
ReplyDeleteUltra cute! Very symbolic that we all have a child somewhere within!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet drivers are automatically kinder to this motorcycle rider than they otherwise would be. That is too sweet.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic. My daughter travels everywhere with her childhood 'Panda'. He's been around the world and back.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lucky bear. He must be loved even by the macho motorcycle rider.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteGreat comments!
At the most recent Operation Welcome Home event, one of the soldiers returning from Afghanistan had a teddy tied to the dufflebag...so cute!

Aww. He looks like a well loved Teddy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little bear! Great lighting, too.
ReplyDeleteA teddy bear on a bike! What a sight!
ReplyDeleteHello David! I've been away for a while but I do miss reading your wonderful posts (not to mention still learning from you).
Take care!
By the way, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the Post Of the Day award (back in May!)
ReplyDeleteSimply adorable...
ReplyDeleteI have to say, when this headline turned up in my reader this is not the kind of "teddy" that leapt to mind.
ReplyDeleteI love this! And i love that you spotted it.
ReplyDelete☺
that is soooo sweet!
ReplyDeleteA large group of motorcyclists always do a toy drive around here, and just about every one of the bikes has an stuffed animal attached to it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute shot :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not showing my bear that. he's been complaining that he hasn't been out since I brought him home :-)
