Seorang bapa di Jakarta telah dikecam teruk warganet selepas merakam anaknya yang berusia lima tahun menunggang motosikal.
Dalam video yang telah dimuat naik di Instagram itu, kelihatan seorang kanak-kanak perempuan menunggang skuter di sebuah kawasan lapang.
Dikatakan, kanak-kanak itu sedang belajar menunggang motosikal bawah pengawasan bapanya, namun dilihat kanak-kanak itu sangat kecil sehingga kakinya tidak cukup panjang untuk jejak tanah.
“Kanak-kanak belajar menunggang motosikal di bawah pengawasan bapanya,” demikian menurut keterangan pada video tersebut.
Video itu telahpun tular dan menerima kecaman teruk kerana perbuatan bahaya itu.
“Mengapa mahu ajar anak sekecil itu menunggang motosikal? Mahu kelihatan hebatkah? Itu bukan sayangkan anak, itu membahayakan anak,” kata seorang warganet.
“Kalau terjadi apa-apa perkara buruk, barulah ibu bapa mahu menangis. Kalau sayangkan anak, jagalah baik-baik,” ujar seorang lagi pengguna media sosial.

But he fainted from exhaustion after being chased.
Jakarta police arrested him while he was still unconscious.
A motorcycle thief passed out after being chased relentlessly by the owner of the motorcycle he stole.
Tanah Abang Police Chief Sr. Adj. Comr. Lukman Cahyono said the thief had stolen a motorcycle outside a house.
The owner of the motorcycle had left the engine on while warming it up. The thief saw his opportunity and jumped on it and rode off.
But his thoughts of an easy score was dashed when the owner gave chase on another motorcycle. The chase kept up until Tanah Abang in Central Jakarta. By then the engine of the stolen motorcycle had given up and sputtered to a halt.
The thief got off and ran on foot, while still being hounded by the motorcycle owner. Finding himself cornered, he decided to jump into flood canal (a large storm drain) and tried to swim away.
However, he fainted from exhaustion after pulling himself up on the far bank.
The police arrested the GTA-wannabe while he was still unconscious. The owner of the motorcycle recovered his vehicle and brought it home.
This classy custom Harley-Davidson XL1200 is built by Thrive
Thrive is based in Jakarta, Indonesia
Dubbed the Kuzuri, it drew inspiration from traditional Japanese custom bikes
Pictures of a custom Harley-Davidson XL1200 by Thrive showed up on the internet lately, and for good reasons.
Thrive Motorcycle is based in Jakarta, Indonesia with the reputation of building some of the most beautiful custom bikes. This example, dubbed the Kuzuri is a prime example.
The project began two years ago when the custom builders were looking for a stock Harley-Davidson engine which was to be used as the testbed for developing their T/H/R/V brand of parts and accessories. A friend of theirs had 2000 XL1200 Sportster, by coincidence. The builders started fitting the new parts to it initially, handcrafting more along the way.
As an overall theme started to take shape, the Thrive team visited the Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show and found discovered many great designs and, the traditional Japanese chopper. It was also here that they found the inspiration for Kuzuri, or wolverine in Japanese.
The team ordered a custom rigid frame from another custom garage and started shaping the aluminium panels, aiming for a bike with “timeless and streamlined looks” that’s clean, sleek and minimalist.
Thrive built the gas tank, headlight fairing, tail unit, oil tank and electrical in-house around the frame and engine. The forks were shortened to allow the bike to hug the ground. Custom accessories such as switchgear, footpegs, gullwing handlebars, brakeless front hub and Mooneyes grips were installed.
The Sportster’s stock belt final was converted to a chain drive. A chain-tensioner fashioned out of a skateboard wheel was installed underneath the drive chain.
Another cool feature is the stop light, modified from a Softail and hidden beneath the rear fender.
As the final touch, Thrive sprayed-painted the frame and body in sapphire blue and silver.
