Personally I say no except for the necessity thing, but if someone else wants to ride double-dude, I really don't care, notice or have anything to say on the subject. Ok, just gotta add, as long as they look semi-normal. Now, if dude is on the back, wearing cut off blue jean shorts, leaning forward, tucked in, cheeks of the *** hanging out, OH GOD, AUGHHHH, I'VE GONE BLIND !!!!!!!

It's fun to laff about what is (or is not) "proper", what looks bad or don't.

While I would be extremely uncomfortable on the back of a bike (whatever gender was driving),...... I gotta say that I don't give two chits what someone thinks. Ain't nobodies business who I have on the back of my bike. Hell, people will criticize just about anything - no matter what I do.
I can't even go and buy a new leather to replace my ragged one without being accused of being a rub, or a poser.

Yes, subconsciously we are snobs and we don't even know it. LOL
"his leathers are shiny, he is a rub".
"he has non-functional chrome, he is a poser"
"he uses a trailer, he is a freak of nature" (that one might be true - LOL)
"he washes his bike too much, not a true rider"

Why are we so judgmental??????? Dude should get credit for having a Harley - not beat up for not doing things exactly by a specific list of do's and don'ts.

Ran into a guy last summer, introduced me to another guy that was visiting from another country. He was taking him around on his bike and showing him America, the way we see it on out bikes. I thought it was a cool thing (even though it was two straight guys on a bike). The "guest" was having the time of his life!

The guy who lives his life constantly worrying about being "proper" might be missing some of the fun.

End of rant. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. LOL

I rode 150 miles to take my stepson (25 yrs. old) some money to get his car out of impound after the police towed it, i met him at a gas station where the tow truck driver dropped him, I gave him a ride about 2 miles to the tow company, however, I made him wear my wifes flowery, butterfliy helmet, that was my payoff!! hahahaaa. he hated it!!!!but that was the first and last time he will ever be on my bike..

I ride a Bike, my wife rides a trike.
We have some friends - he really wants a bike, his wife is against it.
She will not ride on a bike, but she will ride on the trike.
So we take them on rides sometimes, he rides with me and she rides with my wife.
We are making progress to convince her to let him get a bike.
Do I like to ride him on the back? No - but they will go with us and we have fun with them.
We all are in our 60's and have pretty much gotten over on what people think.
I did put passenger grab rails on my Ulta so he doesn't have to touch me

Quote: I saw some chit that made me laugh so hard when I was driving home in my cage with the family.

Two dudes were crusing down the main drag on a spanking new goldwing with the music pumping, shorts & flipflops, matching helmets with not a care in the world... You get the picture right....

I ask a question to you guys. When is it OK to have a dude ride passenger on your bike?
When it needs to be, no matter how it looks.
That said...matching helmets !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is funny. When i was a teenager we would always ride each other on the bike (couldnt afford more than one through my whole group of friends). We laugh about it now but someone made a great point, when DOES the homophobia set in cause we wouldn't dream of it now...unless it was an emergency.

Took my 84 year old father for a ride last weekend. It made his day since he had always dreamed of riding a Harley. I just hope he remembers it for more than two days
If anybody's got an issue with that, kiss my a$$.

OTOH, matching helmets on a wing has gay written all over it.
