Short answer = yes
Long answer = yes
I fail to see a problem with giving a guy a ride on my bike

Scratt, so sorry for your loss. How nice your Brother was able to get that last joy from you. You will always hold onto that memory.

You obviously have no problem ignoring all of the internet pussies that have posted ignorant comments here and who are obviously inwardly afraid that they will "turn gay" if they give another guy a ride. As others have said, in the 60's we gave friends rides all the time. I have never given up that practice when there is a friend in need or even a friend or relative that just wants a ride to "see what it's like." Not a big deal to me, and I never have given a crap what anyone else thinks.

Good job, Scratt and may your Brother rest in peace.

Good man Scratt. Cherish the memory until you meet again.

I though it was called a passenger seat/pad not a girl/women only seat/pad.

Anyone who is lucky enough to get a ride on my bike has to put out. I would prefer it if that person were female

I just keep a solo seat on mind, so I don't have to decide whether to give guys rides.

Last year my brother came to California to visit me after a two year battle with a brain tumor and lung cancer. He had never been on a motorcycle so I took him on a really nice 75 mile ride in the mountains with a stop at my favorite biker bar. People were on the outside deck when we pulled up. No one said a word about it. But, they would have caught hell had they made an inappropriate comment. We grabbed a couple of beers, I introduced my brother to the people I knew, and we had a great time. He still talks about that ride today.

Scratt, you are to be commended for what you did. Anyone on this forum who says otherwise is a jackass!
