Ugh!

JeffM · March 22nd, 2010, 04:01 PM

Yesterday the wife and I were out riding our bicycles and I saw something that made me do a double take and then get angry.

There was a guy on this big cruser riding with his wife/girlfriend on the back.
What made me take notice was what was in front of him on the back of the tank....... There sat a 3-4 year old little girl in pink shorts, tee shirt and pink bicycle helmet!!!!!!

I'm sorry, but what a stupid S.O.B

BlueRaven · March 22nd, 2010, 05:13 PM

ppl like that shouldn't be allowed to have children

Snake · March 22nd, 2010, 05:23 PM

I don't care what adults do but when you put a child in danger that's where I draw the line and would have called the cops to pull them over.

cnichols79us · March 22nd, 2010, 05:31 PM

Brilliance at its finest!!!!!! You know for a fact, not trying to be an Ass here, but if that bike goes down, the girl will land under it and get killed, while the 2 dumbass adults stand there uninjured wondering what went wrong. I completely agree with you getting angry Snake. Where has common sense gone?????

Alex · March 22nd, 2010, 05:35 PM

What's the problem?

BlueRaven · March 22nd, 2010, 05:41 PM

i wonder how fast these bikes go with that many ppl on it

We should rejoice that there is still a sport in the nanny state that kills the stupid and allows the smart some selective advantage. Long live motorcycling!

I agree 100%, although I did that with both by sons at the same age, I would never do that with a daughter (and no, I don't have a daughter).

I have to add that I'm such a bad parent that I let them rider their own motorcycle at 3 also. I'm only telling you this because I believe I'm past the point where I can get arrested for child abuse.

Watch out CC

: 18 U.S.C. § 3283 : US Code - Section 3283: Offenses against children states:

Quote:

No statute of limitations that would otherwise preclude
prosecution for an offense involving the sexual or physical abuse,
or kidnaping, of a child under the age of 18 years shall preclude
such prosecution during the life of the child, or for ten years
after the offense, whichever is longer.

I dont have a problem with kids riding on the bikes..so long as they have the safety gear. Which would include a real helmet, and proper riding attire.
And many states have mandatory gear requirements for riders under a certain age.

Dano · March 25th, 2010, 07:04 PM

What an idiot family guy he is. I would never ride my girls on the front of any bike except for a mini bike and they would have to have full gear on. I remember riding behind my dad as a kid, but I was well over 6 because I had my own mini bike at the time, and He always had me wear a helmet, boots, jeans and a jacket..this was back in the 70's.

TrueFaith · March 26th, 2010, 07:38 AM

I was heading down to the casino in Connecticut last week from my home in Massachusetts. Once over the border, 3 Harleys riden by old fat guys roared by me on the highway. None of them wearing helmets. I keep forgetting that Connecticut and Rhode Island to the south and New Hampshire to the north have no helmet laws, but it still surprises me every time I go to one of those states and see anyone still dumb enough to ride without a helmet.
Maybe they think they look like renegades without them, or it enhances their Harley-rider image, but these days the reaction is more "what a stupid thing to do."

No, no, no..... Between riding on a Harley and having that much Black Leather on, the Harley and Leather combined cause a significant molecular disturbance in the air, whch in turn forms an INVISIBLE FORCEFIELD around them. So, they don't need Helmets. I am totally thinking about getting a Harley so I don't have to wear a Helmet.

CC Cowboy · March 26th, 2010, 12:51 PM

I don't know about you people but when I pay $600 or $700 for a helmet the last thing I want to do is get a scratch on it.

Hey Wayne. Here in RI as you stated the rider doesn't need a helmet, but God forbid I get in my car and don't put on my seatbelt, thats a fineable offense. Did you return to Mass with any winnings?

I tried keeping the cloth bag my helmet came in over the helmet when I ride but it either slips down and I can't see or slides off the back and acts like a drough chute with the string around my neck.

I just gave up and accepted a couple of dings in the paint.

If the bag is black and you wore it over your helmet with just a small opening for the eyes you could consider yourself a ninja.

backinthesaddleagain · March 26th, 2010, 01:05 PM

Do you think they have a whole pecking order for who mounts/dismounts first?

Come to think of it, it is black. Wowt Wowt. I'll have to wait for it to get dark now. Do you think the floresent yellow jacket will give me away?

backinthesaddleagain · March 26th, 2010, 01:09 PM

Haha, I was going to say the wife's hand isn't around her husband's waist and she really should shave before going out for a ride.

CC Cowboy · March 26th, 2010, 01:17 PM

The best part is the bike is probably under 100cc

No way. Those Indians know how to keep their money and take all of yours too. At least cell phone use is banned in CT too, so none of the helmetless Harley riders was on the phone too.

Actually the Indians lost their shirt the first few years. They had to bring in Vegas to show them the ropes.

Yeah, especially down at Foxwoods. I usually do Mohegan Sun. Still, it seems the more money they lose the more I lose too. I have horrible luck at the slots, but the person I was with the other night managed to hit a $1 machine for a whopping $10,000.00 jackpot while we were there. So at least somebody is winning once in a while. Unfortunately, it's rarely me.
Too bad the person that won wasn't a rider. If that were me that hit the local Honda dealership would be short a CBR600ABS right about now.

Wow...I'm glad we go out of our way to make certain our son is safe when he rides with us. He wears a jacket, helmet, and gloves. Plus we have a belt with handles that he holds onto instead of our waists.

Come to think of it, he's usually on my gfriends bike, since she has a back seat rest. I don't think I'll be comfortable with passengers let alone our kid for some time.
