geez guys, He didn't fall down. He has the family out for an afternoon get-together. Provided a bit of entertainment for the trail riders. He's not out on the street bothering the general public.  All in all I'd say it was a win.

I am sorry but why is he a moron?

Only think i find mess up its that the little girl doesnt have a helmet, other than that, what is so wrong with that.

A family chilling at the trails with a bagger....unusual(very) yes!  But i can assure you that that girl it will have nice memories riding with her parents.

putt, putt, putt at 2 mph through some dirty wet conditions is really not much of a risk.

Cleaning the bike back up would be a lot of work, but I really do not see much danger.

No way, no how, is my C14 fording a creek or riding on a dirt trail.  Not prudent.

That's enough of a reason for me to call him a moron. He can do what he likes with his bike and woman but that lil girl could have easily fallen off and been run over. Then this would have been a different kind of discussion...

Good clutch control.  Bad liability for the kid, especially being 3 up on wet rock.  Slow speed tip over, rider grabs kid, bike crushes riders leg, rider drops kid on rock (s) in water.  No longer a happy family memory.  Didn't happen, fortune loves fools...  I take chances, but not that big of a chance with a child's well being.  Wouldn't take much effort from some child advocacy group to make a case for willful neglect.
