No, absoutley not. That is what society is for, to watch out for those who cannot do so themselves.
The man is putting a child who is not in any position to make informed choices about safety himself in a very dangerous position. Therefore it is up to us as reasonable members of society to comment and do whatever we see fit to protect that child.
I am happy to stick my neck out and do something about things like this. It kind of goes with the job.
If you are happy to "live and let live" then so be it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but should expect it to be questioned and opposed.

I personally believe that there is always a line beyond which I would take action. I'd like to believe that everyone has a certain point at which, when confonted with something blatantly out of order, they would do their best to stop it.

For me, this is one of those cases. What he is doing is putting his (hopefully his) child in needless danger, above and beyond the "normal" dangers of being out on a motorbike. He has limited his view of the road ahead, and put the child in an insecure location, that would limit the riders ability to deal with any danger/events.

F_S, I'm not sure what stage you'd step in, but I'm not sure that just because we have no connection with the kid, that should neccesarily mind our own business in all cases. That point of view could be taken to a logical extreme.

OH MY GOD !!!!!

I KNOW THIS GUY !!!

I absolutely promise you 110% I know this guy..

He was being trained by the same guys who were putting me through my test.

He failed his fourth attempt whilst I was sitting my 1st attempt.

He had a full Frank Thomas outfit on didn't he? With proper blue motorcycle boots, don't think they are Sidi, but they look similar!

That is the maddest thing I have ever seen, thought i was in flamin' parallel universe when the picture loaded. I'll be printing this off and showing the trainers tomorrow hahaha.. unbelievable !!
