I gave Bacon the safety pin. It was there for exactly what its name implies. On Bacon's first journey I had him mounted on the back of my Dakar for the Great Ocean Ride trip but I was a bit nervous that the little fella might fall off and I'd lose him on his very first ride

. So I added the pin and then zip tied the pin to my bike so there was no way he could go missing as I cut through the twisties

.
Of course, once added, he thought it sort of looked cool and decided to keep it..
