When my sister and I were young (maybe 4 and 9), we used to sit in the back
"seat" with my mom and dad in the front of the 1600 WITH THE TOP UP!!. Bear
in mind, this is before the days when kids had to be "strapped in" and were
"allowed" do be ejected during an accident.
Change the hinges on the trunk to make a rumble seat, and you can get SIX in
a roadster! (keeping in mind that the cargo capacity of a roadster is approx
480 lbs! including driver!) At 260 lbs, I can only take my dog and my tools!

Hey, with today's snappy technology (velcro) you can just "strap them ON TO
the rollbar" and run two short people in the back of a 2L or 1.6 (grins).
I, my sister, my brother (13 years apart) survived without the aid of seat
belts, my daughter sat in a wind up swing in the back of my '69 Chevy Van on a
cross country tour back in the mid 70's. Heck if seat belts are so
important, why haven't they mandated them on motorcycles (harharhar).
Took my 1600 and 2000 on around town trips yesterday. Grins and giggles and
enjoying the ride(s) daily.
