​​

THE MALINK TANDEM SAFETY BELT MANIFESTED AS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESULTANT OF A MOTORCYCLE RIDE BETWEEN FATHER AND SON. THIS OCCURRED SOME 25 YEARS AGO.  MALIK, 7 YEARS OLD AT THIS TIME WAS A REGULAR PASSENGER ABOARD DAD’S NEW YAMAHA.  MALIK WOULD BECOME THE IMPETUS FOR THE CONCEPT AS WELL AS THE BASIS FOR THE NAMING OF THE BRAND AND PRODUCT.

​

MALIK WAS ALWAYS EXCITED TO EXPERIENCE THE RIDE WITH HIS DAD AND BOTH SHARED THE SAME SENTIMENT, NOT REALIZING HOW INHERENTLY DANGEROUS THIS BONDING ACTIVITY ACTUALLY WAS. DURING ONE OF THEIR COUNTLESS ADVENTURES, IT BECAME CLEAR THEY HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR MUCH TOO LONG FOR A YOUNG CHILD. MALIK, FEELING THE WEIGHT OF EXHAUSTION, EVENTUALLY DRIFTED OFF. JUST AS IN A CAR, THE RELENTLESS BUMPS AND PROLONGED JOURNEY OF A MOTORCYCLE RIDE CAN EASILY LULL SOMEONE INTO SLUMBER

WHEN MALIK BEGAN TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS OFF THE CYCLE, HIS FATHER FELT A SURGE OF IMMEDIATE FEAR AND THOUGHT, “OMG, MY BABY.” HOWEVER, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, HE WAS ABLE TO CATCH HIM AND BRING THE MOTORCYCLE TO A SAFE STOP. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING MOMENT OF THEIR LIVES. 

 

AT THAT MOMENT, THE IDEA FOR THE HARNESS WAS BORN. THE FATHER PONDERED, “IF MALIK WERE STRAPPED TO ME, THIS NEAR TRAGEDY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.” AFTER SEARCHING IN VAIN FOR SUCH AN APPARATUS, HE BEGAN TO DEVELOP A DESIGN THAT WOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND SECURE LOVED ONES WHILE RIDING IN TANDEM, AIMING TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH A TRAGIC OUTCOME FOR PARENTS AND OPERATORS IN THE FUTURE.

 

​ AFTER A PATENT-PENDING ATTEMPT IN 2005 - 2006 AND NOT ACHIEVING A FULLY SATISFACTORY DESIGN, HE NEARLY ABANDONED THE POSSIBILITY OF SEEING THE CONCEPT COME TO FRUITION. HOWEVER, IN 2023, THE PROJECT WAS REVIVED, AND HE NOW WE PRESENT THIS ALL-NEW DESIGN FOR 2024 TO THE WORLD, A COMPLETE WORK OF ART.
