Motorcycling is all about risk avoidance. Best way to avoid risk is to not ride. Riding with no protective gear? Dumb. Riding too fast for conditions? Also dumb. Exposing a passenger to those same risks? Inexcusable. You see it a lot, and it's fairly common for women to get killed riding on the backs of motorcycles.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
