I was riding way back when it was never thought twice about giving a guy a ride onna back of yer bike.. I gopher'd fer a group a guys that used ta cart me everywhere on the back a one of there bikes when I was 14-15 years old.... And they werent the type a guys anybody would call posers.. or at least never say it twice..They taught me bein a biker has nothin ta do with image..
My 13 year old is 5 ft 10and 175 lbs.. I put em on the back all the time as well as any one of my 3 Nine yr olds.. I didn't buy my image at the local HD dealer, so I guess Im not to worried about anybody hangen a label on me, to try and re-enforce there own..
Let the flamen begin..

I'm with you, PT. Started riding when we carted our brothers if they needed a lift or were broke down. Never thought anything of it; that's what we do for our brothers.
A poser is one who worries about what someone else thinks of him.
Come on guys, there not posers, I just don't think they are secure with their sexual orientation yet! Given some time, they will move to San Francisco and come out of the closet!! If you weren't gay, I think you would have at least stopped to smell the hitch hiker!
I can see (and I have) giving someone a ride in an emergency or something, but if that chick was hitch hiking, dude, you're gonna have to walk the rest of the way to the gas station!! Come on, we have to have our priorities straight here don't we!?
