Family members are exempt from the man law about riding with another man 2 up.

 

Though I've had bikes for some time I couldn't get my youngest son (20 at the time) interested. Tried 'cause I wanted him to be a riding buddy. When he came to me and said he wanted to see what it was like I jumped at the chance. Two big guys on a bike might have looked odd to others but I enjoyed every minute of it. Can't say the same for him though. He never did start riding but we still talk about the pictures. I'd do it again in a minute.

 

Thanks Russ, good to know.

 

After a bad day at work, this post made me laugh!! Thanks for the thread. As far as 2 dudes, I have taken my 17 and 22 year old sons for a cruse, I guess It is all in the wording that makes it fun!!

 

never, ever, especially in california

 

Two ladies...O.k. Two Dudes....No way

 

that's not right!!!!

 

OK, OK, I will tell my story...I'm secure in my manhood....as if my dyno oil post wasn't enough ammo for anyone.

Few years ago I was riding a sweet 1983 FXWG, shovelhead Wide Glide. Bike pic is below. Buddy was on his 2001 Duece. Went out in the morning in San Diego, when I was stationed there. We stayed gone all day riding out through the mountains and through the desert out near Ocatillo (sp?). This was in Jan or Feb and was pretty warm during the day. Well, we started heading for home way out in the desert near I-8. I started noticing my headlights dimming and the bike popping and losing power. Then everything goes dark and the bike shuts down. Dark as hell on the road and I was leading. Buddy says I was there and then I was gone...he almost slammed right into my back. Pulled off to the side and started troubleshooting. Battery had literally exploded and was leaking everywhere. Well it was about 11 pm and my buddies wife would have shot him for having to come all the way out there with the trailer.

Well, we now have two choices. 1) I stay with the bike while he rides about 70 miles back to his house, gets the truck and trailer, then drives the 70 miles back to pick me up. 2) I ride bitch and we both go get the trailer and come back for the bike.

Did I mention it was right about freezing? Nightitme in Feb in the desert is COLD.

Well, I suck up my pride and opt for option 2 rather than freeze to death for a couple hours. Ever seen Dumb and DUmber? Yep my buddy is 6-2 and about 225, me at 6-0 about 200 and both riding 70 miles down I-8 and I-15 freezing our azzes off.

OH BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE...Did I mention there is an imigration checkpoint on I-8 when heading into San Diego? Yip, sure is. Damn, I'm thinking...we look like we might just be TOO good a friends...you know. Well we pull up to the checkpoint and the border agent stops us...and gues what? The boder agent is a chick! SHe does a double take at the two dude snuggled up (not really) on a Harley....snickers...grins....chuckles....then she finally waves us through while laughing her azz off.

Never felt quite so small in my life...buddy and I didn't speak till we got back to the bike about a hour and a half later. Worst riding day of my life and now that I've reopened the wounds while typing this I still feel dirty!

OK...Let her rip...lets hear it!

 

ummmm.... I am wondering why did u do a search for 2 dudes on a MC to begin with? LOL!

 

My bud and I were about to take off on a trip but his bike was an hour away at the dealer getting serviced. So to keep from having to drive an hour one way and back another before the trip I took him on back of my bike to the dealer. It was so damn funny,everytime we got beside someone he would reach up and hug me,and me fighting him all the way. It reminded me of Wild Hogs except I didn't smell like a cowboy lawyer.LOL
