Stop trying to take away our freedoms. Leave other people alone and worry about your own life. Why try to ruin a fun experience between a daughter and her father? Because you, as a third-party observer with no intimate knowledge of the case, see something that could be misconstrued as harmful, you immediately want to tear it down? Somehow, people who claim to want to do good always end up doing evil instead.

Lets leave other countries out of this. This is child endangerment. Don't care 2 shits about what a mother has done with her 5 children. Doing it doesn't make it right. Use common sense. Why endanger your child. Anyone who thinks this is ok doesn't care much about their child or children

All of my children rode on the back of my bikes starting at the age of five, all were safe on the bike and rode with helmets and jeans and jackets with proper foot wear, there is available at most bike shops a harness for use with kids, I believe the harness attaches to the driver and includes foot pegs for the child...riding with your kids is fine as long as common sense is used.....more regulations are not required or wanted

This made me cringe, both as a parent and as a rider!!! Probably should be a minimum age, as in no toddlers! Follow the laws of other locales: feet solidly on the footpegs and ALL SAFETY GEAR. NO shorts and teeshirts!!!
I took both my sons with me many times... but followed the above guidelines.

go to mexico, this is very common. Never seen an incident there. Just relax, let people be.

The driver is probably insured with AMA.
AMA would rather pay for medical bills than cover for protective riding gear (except for helmet).
So really is there a problem with what is captured on video, his insurance company like most motorcycle insurance companies advocate riding without gear except for a helmet.

Hey Josh loud pipes are mostly just really annoying. Every 5 minutes all night long some asshole cracks the throttle wide open going past my house. It's not for safety at 3 am it's because they weren't weaned properly. If they are meant to save the lives of people like you they are definitely not a good idea. As for the poll question it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if a child's arms can barely reach around the operators waist they are likely to fall off. So yes there should be a minimum age or height to ride as a passenger and yes you are still a flipping idiot.

There are so many things in this I see that are detrimental to the safety of that child. Endangerment. This is just plain wrong.

In BC their is a law that says children can not ride on a motorcycle until their feet can reach the foot pegs. Maybe Alberta needs a law think this too

everyone who votes yes has probably never been on a motorcycle of any kind. I agree children should have proper gear including jeans, leather jacket and a helmet that does fit. On the bike they should have there feet touching the pegs and a backrest. And the person operating the bike should be doing so in a safe matter. I have road motorcycles a lot in my life and I have found unless you are being completely stupid idiot it is the operators of cars and trucks that create accidents. Remember loud pipes save lives.
