Re: Why are some people so stupid??

Neio, that's a little close to the line.

Damn funny though!!!

Re: Why are some people so stupid??

i saw a young chap on the pillion of a gsxr on my way out of belle vue speedway on good friday (in which we won for once). the rider was colour co-ordinated in alpinestars kit, the youngen had an evel kneivel lid on made in 1973 and stuffed to fit with yesterdays newspaper. why are some people so ignorant to others i will never know.

Re: Why are some people so stupid??

Hein Gericke are doing a pet carrier for bikes now, maybe he could have put the kid in there?

Re: Why are some people so stupid??

No.

Children should always be carried in a suitably sized top box. It makes as much sense as not putting them in the boot of a car or on a roof rack.

you let your child walk to school and get hit by a car - again not your fault.

you cannot protect your kids for ever. get them the proper kit. talk to them about how to sit on bike and what to do when going round corners etc and get out there and have some fun. life is too short to think - what if!

sorry to rant but this talk of parents being irresponsible for taking their kids pillion really annoys me.

BUt like yourself mate, I do have an opinion as well. And threads like these air different opinions.

People agree to disagree. So u think its ok and i dont! Theres no need to get annoyed in subjects. Just honor your view and i will mine.

The guy was just sharing a view with us all about how he saw something dangerous. We comment. There are no rights or wrongs just views.

OK

I can understand people who dont like bikes having this view but bikers having this view surprises me. If a child is injured on the back of a bike or in a car or crossing the road it makes no difference. I just dont think guilt should be loaded onto the parent for being irresponsible.

Neios original post was about kid having inappropriate clothing and having a box stuck in front of him, not once did he say taking the kid on the bike was a bad idea yet some others jumped onto that bandwagon.

anyway im mellow again, :flower:

So as per neios post... the [parent who is also a biker is just so irresponsible.. Obviously has no regard for the child's safety. Leading to all the other posts.

And breathhhhhh:smt080
