I don't really know what to say about this, but we happened to be following this motorcycle today and I thought it was worth taking a picture.

That might not be a little girl, it could be a issue of scale! I can hear that tire moaning.

JMHO,
If the guy wants to ride a bike with no protective gear, I don't have a problem with that as it's his life and his choice. I do have a problem putting a little girl on the back of a bike with no protective equipment and a helmet that looks way oversized for her head. When she is old enough, she can make that decision herself; however, at that age, the adult in this situation should have an obligation of making sure she is protected. Not saying she should be in full leathers but something a little more appropriate would be advisable. Coming from the perspective of being hit three times on a bike and no fault of my own, I always dress for the slide and not the ride as things can go south quickly no matter what your skill level is...again JMHO. Granted, maybe it was a spur of the moment thing and the kid needed a ride but I would not do that with my kids at that age and I certainly would not do that with someone else's child.

My thoughts exactly. Protect the kid. The adults can suffer if they don't take heed to the dangers present. I would love to ride without gear sometimes but choose not to because I like my skin intact.

Sorry, I don't see an adult in the photo.

I'm guessing he sat on the couch without looking and she was already there, and now they're on their way to "Urgent Care".

 

[metalman]

It would be a lot safer if there was a backrest or sissy bar behind her.

 

[cihilb]

When my daughter was three years old, she used to ride in FRONT of me. This of course was only trips around the block.
When she was too big to ride in front, I installed a second set of passenger foot rest higher on the frame so she could reach them. Of course, I did have a backrest installed. Later on, on my 85 GL1200, she would actually fall asleep behind me. Never worried about her falling off since my backrest cradled her on the seat.

Lot's of good memories and smiles!

Children's helmets tend to be the same size outside with thicker inner parts to hold their head, I think. I wear a XXL helmet and never wore a helmet on a bicycle when I was a kid.

DING! We have a winner!

Actually there are several adults inside the one in front.

Why do some think it's okay to make fun of overweight people?

 

[tamathumper]

I'm equal opportunity. I make fun of skinny people too.

There are enough people on the Internet making the opposite of fun. Life is too short to be one of them.
