I can't believe someone would have neglected to pack the styrofoam peanuts around that baby...callous indifference to safety I would say

It doesn't look like there are any air-holes, either.  How irresponsible.

Alright, so the consensus seems to be she's still too young, I'll wait a week or two and use the simple but brilliant "tank Bag" idea, (thanks 620 dark) thanks for all your contributions.

(obviously I didn't put enough smiley faces or LOLs for some people in the original post)

at least 2 weeks and you should be gtg

Not a Duc, but...here's my son Hayden and I on his Honda 50...he was almost 2 yrs old here.   He'll be riding it alone with training wheels and a limited throttle as soon as he can reach the pegs. He already gets on it by himself anytime he's in the garage and harasses me for a ride.  

...and I don't want to hear about him not wearing a helmet...we never went faster than his running pace, and he has one now.

Did we get around to congratulate Brimo with his child?

Short but true story: When my brother was born I was 16 months old. Mom and dad only had one car and when mom went into labor she drove herself to the hospital about 40 miles away in the city (Anchorage,AK). My dad and I showed up a little while later...and my mom finally asked how we got there...  Dad just stuck me inside his jacket and rode his motorcycle the 40 miles into town.  

I've been taking my daughter on short rides since she was about 4 or 5. She's a natural..leans to the inside of corners, etc. After her second ride around the neighborhood her mom asked how it was.  She said "I was yelling in my helmet 'You'll never catch me coppers!'". (I think I'm going to be in trouble.) She falls asleep on the back sometimes though and that's pretty scary. I can hold her on with one arm, but have to shake her to wake her up so I can stop.

I have a friend that had a harness to keep his son, who fell asleep regularly on the bike, on board.

I can ask the details if you like.

"I can almost reach right?"

Here's another idea.



It's only tested up to 140mph though so take it easy.

Does it look like this?



The photo is from a 1994 article in Motor Cyclist magazine on riding with kids; I can try to scan it if anyone is interested in what Art Friedman thought on the subject 17 or so years ago...
