Ride the guy. If people look at you funny let them look. He may never get another chance like this so do him a favor.

I road my nephew one time. He thought he wanted a bike and I told him I would give him a ride so he could see how it feels. I drove easy but he still changed his mind. Yes a few people stared but so what? Small minds think small things.

I broke down and a friend road me on the back of his bike to get help. Yea some stared but so what? Judge me as you will I say but just dont mess with me.

Last year about May or so I was riding out to one of our National Cemetaries for a PGR mission.

Coming the other way was a group of about 6-7 E-Glides and Ultras.

Noticed all bikes were two-up and all riders and passengers were wearing black leather jackets and chaps.

Did not notice until we actually passed that they were all dudes !

I'd avoid the matching outfits but give an oldbud a ride anytime. Just notEVERYTIME.

My first rides were at about age 18 or 19 on the back of a friends Fat Boy, he used to just bomb us around town for 10 mins or so, at least I could say I got to go for a ride. After about 6 rides I went out and bought a little Yamaha Vstar 650. It was CHEAP and nimble and CHEAP. Bought it new in '99 and just traded it in Jan. for my E Glide. That same friend rode by my side for most of the 22,000 miles I put on that little bike! Never know a couple small rides might change his life!
