Get real? It's a motorcycle. A child, with no protective clothing, purely because the parent is too cheap to buy it for her, or too lazy to get her to put it on. There are everyday hazards, and then there are sheer stupid-minded dumb-ass needless risks. You can't use the "well he could be hit by a bus next time he crosses the road." argument to justify every needless risk, it's crazy, especially when the decision is being made for a child and not even by the child.

I never go out without my helmet, Richa armoured jacket, gloves, and Oxtar boots. OCCASIONALLY I ride without my Richa trousers (CE armoured) and just wearing jeans but I don't feel comfortable even doing that.
![]() I don't have any kids but I do have a nephew and I WOULD NEVER take him on the bike without all the protective gear I could find. I think that anyone who takes ANY passenger on their bike without adequate protection deserves everything that's coming to them - no excuses ![]() Rant over ![]() |

I'm not sure this extends to pillions (Personally, I won't ride unless my pillion is wearing proper kit), but that's where I draw the line. For other people it's acceptable. As others have said, unsurprisingly, I find I ride a great deal more conservatively when not in full kit. Last edited by Ceri JC; 04-09-07 at 08:17 AM. Reason: speed |

I assume from your high and mighty point of view that you don't draw a line anywhere in terms of putting kids needlessly at risk, because that would be a tad hypocritical. |

I'm also not high and mighty anything. I just happen to disagree with people such as yourself who think that people shouldn't be made to take more responsibility. |
