Just generally not done. Unless one guy is obviously younger i.e, a son or little brother. Otherwise it tends to go against the "Macho Code".

Told my 17 year old ( 6' , 200 lbs. )
son if he wanted a ride with me locally that was OK , anything long distance would require him to shave real good and sport some falsies and a wig !

There are only 2 times I will ride on the back of a Harley:

#1 Im dead and they are taking my body to civilization.

#2 Duh dang there aint a number 2

No Flipping way would I ride on the back. I have broken down in the bonnies and had someone go get help or walk or hitch hick. But this man ani't nobodies Biotch... Well unless Im broken and a gang on Nympho's come by and offer to take me to next phone, then maybe.

Just my .02

I would take a friend anytime anyplace what other people think is their problem. I know what is important to me and that is all that matters.
