No one has ever rode my bike, and only my wife and kids have ever sat on my bike, I did catch my 5 year old sitting on it one day without me. looked out the front door just in time to see him lean forward like he was riding fast, it was cute, but I quickly got him off the bike. but watching him get off it was kinda cool. for a 5 year old he did very well not to touch the rear fender when he swung his leg off.

 

Things like that sort of scare me. You know. If the bike was hot. I suspect u have the covered. Hell of a way to learn. Don;t want to turn the kid against bikes with a bad young burn experience.

 

luckily she hadn't been ridden in about an hour and was cool to the touch. him and I had a talk about climbing on daddys bike and why it was important that he didn't climb on it without me. I think he understood, only time will tell.

 

1. Except for one motorcycle (a 400cc Honda) all of my motorcycles have been used and had a few blemishes scratches etc on them. (no dings or dents) I've never had anyone ask to ride any of my motorcycles Even so, the list of people I would let or offer to ride one of my motorcycles (or even drive my POS car) is very small. It would have to be someone who I trust in their ability to ride, plus that they can cover it if there's damage. I've never asked to ride someone else's motorcycle, but I've had several people over the decades allow me to ride theirs. One was even a guy who had a custom show winner bike that cost more than my first house. I was floored that he trusted me enough to ride it because he didn't make such offers casually.

2. Only one adult has ever asked to sit on any of my bikes (a granddaughter) Perhaps I should own better looking bikes. Although I have had plenty of people look at my bikes like they want to ask but were waiting for me to offer. I don't know if it's because of the motorcycles or that they have custom made seat covers. I have gotten a few compliments and questions about the seat covers. The granddaughter said if I ever want to sell the Sportster that she wants to buy it. She sat on my old Sportster and revved up the engine but never asked to ride it. Plus she doesn't have a motorcycle endorsement anyway.

Some of my great grandkids have all asked to sit on my motorcycles and I've let them, but I'm with them to make sure no minor accidents happen, either to them or the motorcycles.

 

1). If it's someone I know and trust and they can ride a bike why not? Had a couple of my mates and family ride my bike and I ride theirs, good fun

2). If they ask why not... If they want to get it off the kickstand I usually help them up and try to hold the bike just in case anything happens

 

Gotta love Tilted Kilt!!!

 

If it were, my bike would be in the shop most of the time.

 

Yes both of my sons who both ride their own the oldest is career military when he comes home he gets the keys to the kingdom . My brother who rides his own. Back in the day we would trade his Vette for my Harley. My wife's uncle who always insisted I ride his when we would visit.
Lots of nieces and nephews have been in the seat and like above if they want I start it and let them twist the throttle .
Don't miss understand I love my bike and take good care of it but it is mostly stock and not that fragile.
