Dogs may legally ride on motorcycles in all 50 states, just as they can ride in cars. In addition, since dogs are not legally considered persons, they also do not need to wear helmets. See: City of Los Angeles vs. Gerbracht, 1996.
The question as to whether they can safely ride on motorcycles depends on the rider, the method in which they are carried, how they are secured and protected. There are a number of companies which make dog containers which are specifically designed for motorcycles.
There are also companies which produce goggles for dogs to prevent eye damage while traveling.
As long as the dog doesn't interfere with the safe operation of the motorcycle and is secured so it cannot jump out in traffic or distract the rider, it should be just as safe as carrying anything else on a motorcycle.

Motorcycles are generally required to follow the same traffic laws as four-wheeled vehicles, including speed limits, traffic signals, and lane usage. However, there may be specific regulations that apply uniquely to motorcycles, such as helmet laws or lane-splitting rules, which vary by state or country. It's important for motorcyclists to be aware of local laws to ensure safe and legal riding. Overall, while the fundamental traffic laws are similar, there are nuances that specifically pertain to motorcycles.
I'm sure you can, but the laws are different for every state.
