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!:-\

Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
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

What a dickhead.
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!  un

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.

That's actually a good idea - I'd rather give my pillion all my gear (if needs must) and have myself unprotected than them. In reality I doubt I'd ever be in that position and I'd have us both wearing full gear
Took my daughter aged 9 for her first spin on a bike down to the shops made her wear helmet,gloves,protected jacket ,trousers wouldn't fit ,even thou it was only 2 miles down the road on the back of a 125 Honda s-wimg,and the gear didn't fit proper but better to have some protection than leave her hands and leg skin on the road if ever we have a spill
But if you are out on the pull you don't know what size woman you are going to end up with do you? I mean if you get lucky early in the night she'll be slim and lovely - so you'd need the size 10 leathers and medium spare lid/gloves.
If you don''t get lucky until later in the night you'll have had a few beers and end up with a wildebeast, the size 10 leathers will be a bit embarrassing.
If you don't get lucky before kicking out time then the beer goggles / desperation will play a part and you might need the best part of a rhino hide and an upturned boat for her head.
So do you all go out with multiple spare safety kit 'just in case'?

No, I'm a dickhead and my leathers are one-piece suit. Just take it slower, easier.

Yeah, but think of the fun you'll have trying to squeeze her into them... :evil
Or you don't get lucky at all and you end up looking like a knob carting all this spare kit around.

So you ride home tanked up with a girl who doesn't have a helmet to wear?
If I'm out on my bike & pull and I don't have kit I get a taxi. But then again I don't go out drinking when I'm on my bike.

Actually, you should try riding home out of your head on crack with an unconscious naked call girl on the back...now that's tricky! :lol
