I found this info on a forum the Author HORIZON-DOC
Tex used to have a dog named Cash , they as a pair set many records , raised much money for charitys and gave unmeaserable amounts of smiles to kids and people all around Australia.
Cash and Tex covered over 300,000 klms on various bikes and at the end were sponsored by Aprilia.
Cash was the first dog in the world to cover an 11 second pass at the drags (W.S.I.D.)
He was also the first dog anywhere in the world to be honoured in a National Motorcycle Hall of Fame.
Unfortunatley "Cash " passed away on 24th June 2005 ( R.I.P ) when in a severe storm slipped from the bike and was struck by an on-coming car.
This not only rocked those who have been touched ( through charity work) by them both , but also rocked the motorcycling community.
Since that terrible day Tex now has a new companion, his name is "BUNDY"
In 2006 a little ray of sunshine came into Tex's life in the form of “Bundy” a Smithfield or sometimes called “stumpy tail Blue Heeler.
She is now two & a half years old and has covered around 100,000 klms, mainly on Hayabusa’s.
She is officially the fastest dog on a motorcycle having recorded 280kph.
Tex is also submiting their paperwork to be recognised American based “Iron Butt Association” . ( which we believe is the first dog rider).
They recently covered 2044klms in 23 hours making them eligble for an SS2000 award.
Bundy is also the first dog to become a member of the Australian FarRiders.
The Below photos are Bundy on her Hayabusa. ( doing 130kph on a long run to Darwin).
