what your comment meant there at the end and certainly don't want to get into a slanging match over it. Each to their own I guess. I assessed the risk on the day and was ok with it. I felt unsafer crossing the road in Bali. There is always a risk with whatever you do, perhaps if that lady (and I had heard about it) had the instructor up there she might have been fine. As I say, I respect your right to your opinion, as I'm sure you will respect our right to do as we feel is reasonable. From the other reply here you will see that we are not the first parents to allow a child to do this. I don't agree with kids riding on motorbikes but I saw tourists doing this with very small children. We each make our own decisions and live with that I guess :)
