What's your take?
« on: November 28, 2015, 10:26:37 PM »
Saw this from a friend of mine on FB and it was taken here in Huntsville, AL.  Let's see what your initial thoughts are, LMBO!

I think it's nuts..and in today's world I'd suspect it a spoof.  But my folks did the same stupid thing when I was 2.

I assure you it isn't Photoshopped.  The owner confirmed it's real, but there is a catch, lol.  I will reserve the catch till after I see some initial reactions.

I admit that I used to ride my 4 - 5 year old around the neighborhood on my V Star 1300 back when I had it.  Never outside the neighborhood, but he loved riding with me on the tank and pretending he was driving while blowing the air horn I had installed, lol.

I hear you.  I used to ride the tank and steer too.  But my folks were nuts.
Is hard to imagine now-days.

The rider could be strapping a dog in for a ride

I don't have a problem with it. I rode on the gas tank of a Triumph to get my first haircut.

We had a member on the old form that had a seat like that on his bike and carried his kid as a passenger.

So this is considered perfectly acceptable:



But on a motorcycle it's not.  I'm not sure there is that big of a difference.

Most of my serious bicycle riding relatives have had more serious injuries on their bicycles than I have had crashing my motorcycles.

We weren't to good to die young back then. I remember riding on the tailgate of a '62 Chevy pickup at 60 mph when I was 5 years old.





Or was our parents just caught up in the '60s carefree stuff. :o

If she were on the back of a motorcycle, a bikini top would be more acceptable. OH you were talking about the kid. Sorry :-X

Doesn't seem like a good idea to me. My son is 32 and wouldn't fit.
