Their choice though and they are legal. Not my choice but it's up to them really

at the end of the day she had the right to say no ! her skin ! her life ,

When I take a pillion, I offer them a minimum of a spare armoured jacket, spare gloves and spare lid. If it's a longer trip, I make them wear my spare trousers too. Which can be funny if the passenger is 5ft 6 (I'm 6ft 3).

they're over doing it with crash helmets if you ask me, Bandits don't go fast enough to do any damage

Exupnut · « **Reply #6 on:** 12 June 2013, 07:30:57 am »

I agree Dryrob. And its silver. V slow.

Skippernick · « **Reply #7 on:** 12 June 2013, 07:37:28 am »

It has blue on it as well which makes it really slow, silver speeds it up.

Gonna start calling you lot ' The Rainbow Warriors ' with your obsession with colour.

Oops, should've said " their body, their choice " this also applies to those who wear badly fitting gear, cos it's the muttz $:\$

Not obsessed with colour myself, but in my opinion, that pillion will be just fine - in my experience, blue ones are more likely to crash...

its a bandit rider...........did you expect anything different

........nice colour though

They look to be in a built-up area so 30 mph max, I know it still hurts at that speed, what about cyclists who do that speed and more when going down hill and what do they wear? or as my mate calls them "perverts in lycra" not to be confused with "perverts in leather" lol.

I insist my pillion wears a thong and flip flops - he hates that rule!

snapper · « **Reply #13 on:** 12 June 2013, 09:22:21 am »

"he hates that rule"
he doesn't like flip flops ?

the worst one i've seen is a bloke in full leathers with his daughter (?) on the back aged about 7 with a helmet and her school uniform on!
no boots,
no trousers,
a flippin' school dress ffs!

i'll see if i can find a piccy.

A friend of my dads has an R1 turbo, he takes his son out on it. I first saw him on the back when he was about 7 or 8. He had a leather belt that tied him to his dad who said "Well I don't want him falling off the back now do I?" Absolute insanity!:-\

that's mad my son is nearly 8 he is just getting big enough to sit on the bike but the thought of taking him on there without proper protection fills me with dread and there's no way I would do it !

that sort of stupidity should be a criminal act ! in my mind its far worse than doing over 100mph on a public road ! and if you can be prosecuted for your passenger not having a seat belt ( front of the car ) then this should have the same sort of repercussion's or worse

I go for a ride. Thrash it round local hill bends. Full leathers. Then pick up lady friend and cruise to a nice beach balcony for a beer. I'm in full leathers, she's just got a helmet.... though she looks better than THAT one.

Greetings from another dickhead. Cheers!

So you don't give her your jacket or gloves for the ride?

That's what I do when I take people on the back who don't have their own kit.
