I don't know, she looks pretty comfortable up there bet she's sat a scoot before. I agree she should have asked but I guess if it had been my bike I would have said YOU GO GIRL!!

18 or 80 its ignorant to touch someones property without permission.I also would not have yelled either. I would be more than glad to let someone like that if they asked FIRST.

I'm over 60 and would have probably taken a poke at some young dude for that but seeing that look on her face... well...I think it's worth a ride for her too.

She looks awesome and she can hop on my ride any day. Any 80 y/o that can straddle a bike is totally welcome to sit on mine for a picture. Besides, she might have a granddaughter I want to meet.
If you're concerned about people doing that at a show, either have the sponsors put a sign out or put one on your seat.

I wouldn't of had a problem with it all. Even though she didn't ask first, she is showing restraint and respect for the bike and herself by not pulling it up off the kick stand. If she had tried to do that, then I might have a problem. Otherwise, I would of walked up to her, introduced myself and handed her a helmet and told her scoot on back, were going for a ride, I'm driving though.
