Yeah. I kind of stood up and froze while this was happening. To be fair there was zero damage. And I have done similar myself with my mates kid recently. With this bike. But that was different. I don’t know these people. Yes I don’t blame the kid. The Dad was at fault

So. I went out today on my almost new Kawasaki z650. Parked in a cafe and went inside for a burger. I’m probably over protective but chose a seat where I could see my bike. Anyway I could see this young family return to their car parked next to my bike. This kid started touching my bike. I was about to get up but then I could see Dad walking towards youngster. I thought that’s ok he will sort it. However what he did was lift the kid on to my bike and take pics on his phone. I was livid but they all left quickly before I could have a word. Probably just as well

Well this article implies that it was legal until 1990 for a learner to carry a pillion if the pillion has a full licence. Not sure if it’s right though. But I did think it was legal back in the 70s https://www.lightningpass.com/changes-motorcycle-learner-law

I don’t know but check the fuses?

Used to be legal though. So when did they change the rules?
