hey man, your bike was keyool! Couldnt tell what type it was but, as you were going too fast and I have to say I was rather in shock at the wee 3ish year old on your lap...

and yeah, i saw you see me register my ummm, shock? and I know you know it is wrong, so that rather begs the question...why do it?

You can tell some people till you're blue in face about safety though, but they won't necessarily listen. Go to somewhere like Sri Lanka or Thailand and you see adults, very often two with a youngster sandwiched between them on bikes, none of them have any safety gear on. As I said...we aint in lanka Thailand or India now... there is no excuse. You're right. But there's not much you can do about it. Today saw mum no seatbelt in car with kiddy jumping about on the front seat. In Fujairah kids all hanging out the sunroofs and windows and no amount of telling will change certain attitudes. check out buckle up in the back dubai campaign...there is plenty you can do, and one person is showing just that. Attitudes saying 'you can do nothing so don't try'? self defeatist. Our kids (as in the worlds children) are worth more than that. I KNOW! I am quite an active supporter of that and crashnoaccident as well. But I find it sad that many parents don't seem to care about their childrens welfare in the first place.

'Your man'......is it an Irish saying? As for the man on the bike, IDIOT. I don't understand why some people can't seem to grasp just how precious children are. yeah, spent a couple of years living in dublin, so.

and btw, I know there is feck all to be done by posting on here, but...some chick might see it and think twice before deciding it's A Good Idea to let uncle so and so, or a beloved nephew, or grandpapa, or daddio to take an infant for a spin on a motorbike, without any safety gear even.

PHEW!!! Really we see silly things day in day out, not worth getting steamed up about, unless of course it was a MAID doing it. yeah, I'm prepared to watch babies on motor bikes be scraped off the road because their parents are too blase, uneducated, full of a god complex to keep them safe. uh huh, up here in this um hills we do it like the ole days ye' uh.

Lets see...the speed limit is 40km an hour. Anything over that is too fast. Quite apart from the fact, your man KNEW better, and did it anyway. Oh sweetie my man would never ride a bike! And unless you had noticed we actually live in the middle East not Windsor and anything goes! errrm, your man, is a turn of phrase I picked up somewhere in my travels...not aimed specifically at YOUR man. Hope that clears up some misunderstaning or another. Back to topic....

We don't live in India or Sri Lanka etc, so taking the whanau for a drive to the local food shop or family visit isnt an excuse. Quite apart from the fact, your man KNEW better, and did it anyway. Volunteers for scraping a small child off the road anyone?

Never mind the speed. Child on lap is not acceptable on a bike.
