Proud dad posts video of his daughter on his motorbike as they go to get her some leathers – but people aren’t impressed
HE wanted to proudly share a video of his youngest daughter on the back of his motorbike.
But PJ Challenger didn’t anticipate the amount of backlash he would receive for not decking out his little girl in appropriate motorcycle wear – despite admitting they were going to get her a jacket.
“Off to get a jacket for the latest rider,” he wrote over the video, which showed his daughter wearing leggings, trainers and a denim jacket with a helmet as she sat on the back of the bike.
“Smiles for miles,” he added, writing in the caption: “Youngest first ride.”
People quickly took to the comments section to slam the dad for the video, with one writing: “In full leathers and kids in trainers and pyjamas…”
“Trousers? Boots? Gloves? A helmet that fits? Bravo,” another added, to which PJ replied: “Thank you, I’m going for dad of the year.”

In response to someone else criticising him, PJ replied: “Don’t think we went past 30mph but I knew these comments would come.”
However, someone else responded: “yea, dad fully protected and kid in leggings.
