fucking usafags man.
NEVER ever ever ride without at LEAST a helmet. I don't always wear my full gear, but helmet is necessary.
Addendum: That positioning is fucking retarded. As soon as as the driver accelerates, the pillion will not be able to fucking STAY ON THE BIKE anymore because hill arms will just slip off. Always grab the rider, preferable around the sides.
