More often we see young girls as a passenger on the back of a crotch rocket dressed in so little as to be barely legal.
I can only shake my head in dismay and wish a silent wish that she gets home safely. If not, she will carry those terrible scars for the rest of her life - provided she survives.
I hate to even think about the possible consequences.
But I suppose I was invincible at that age too
I strongly believe everybody should be free to dress in as much or as little as he desires - young girls especially. However, and regardless of the gender difference (or lack thereof) between the motorcycle operator and passenger, I have nothing but disdain for a motorcycle operator that is better protected than their passenger. It is not unlike boarding an airline flight, and be greeted by the captain wearing a parachute.
