[bednobs]

How old do children have to be to be a pillion passenger?

[Buenchico]

There's no minimum age:

I remember being about 6 and riding in front of my uncle, sitting between him and the tank on his Bonneville - no helmets in those days either ...

The common sense answer (rather than law) would surely be "It depends on the bike and where/how it is ridden)

A 50cc Honda C50 going down the corner shop for instance would be safer than a ZZ1400 doing a ton down the A35.

Same here, Dave. My dad's Norton Dominatior.

Do not forget extra insurance for pillion passenger.
