I stopped in Lakeport (near L-Cross) yesterday for some fuel and spotted this 2-stroke dirt bike with a baby seat ratchet strapped to it. Just had to share.

I think the baby seat acts as the grab bar, You know, for when wheelies go a bit too far back  ;)

lol


in SE a few weeks ago, there was a guy with a car seat strapped to the back rack of his brute force. he had ratchet tie downs holding it on. thats not as bad but its pretty bad.

I think it's easier to hand the baby it's bottle when the seat is facing forward. Or grab another beer when baby is at home.

Don't be surprised if the person actually carries a baby in that seat.  I was sitting at an intersection once and saw a guy drive by on his enduro-style bike (probably 250cc at best) and had a baby in a backpack.  He had a helmet on but of course, the kid did not.  To top that, it was colder than a well digger's ass that day.  Stupidity comes in all flavors and I've come to believe that nothing can surprise me anymore.  As far as the guy in SE with the baby seat strapped onto his Brute Force, as long as he wasn't driving like an idiot (i.e. keeping in mind he has a baby on the back - no high speed trips through the whoops), I really don't see anything wrong with it.  Hopefully, the baby was old enough to be able to support its head.  It's no different than taking a baby on a bicycle seat and probably a lot safer.  I definitely wouldn't do something like that with anything under 9 months old.

I bet its for a joke.  Maybe he thinks a car wont be an idiot toward a biker with a baby on the back lol.  Its a bold strategy cotton lets see if it pays off.
