I'm amazed that a Parent would put a child on a motorcycle with them without BASIC SAFETY EQUIPMENT (Helmet and long pants/jacket)
Absolutely blows my mind that someone would then DEFEND that decision.
Do you have children? Have you NEVER done anything with them that someone else might think was unwise?
I've known people that thought the same thing when I signed my son up for tackle football.
“Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!”
That used to be my sig line but I thought Jefferson's quote was better
