I think that was cool of you.

I'd give a guy a ride..Just did it this summer, took my best bud down to pick up his new EGC at the dealer. We looked funny, and I made sure to ride right up to the service dept doors and make them open automatically. It was a blast.

I'm 6-2 260 lbs, he is 6-5. Lol.

Good on you Scatt, it's something your friend will remember for ever.
I rode on the back of a Harley this summer just to see what it was like for a passenger on this certain bike, it was kinda like a roller coaster ride.
You have no control so it was fun to just sit there and go with it.

Good thing you did. Who cares what anybody else thinks...too many people worrying themselves about what others do.

Hate "C" passionately. Have lost a few good folks because of it. Two of them, (1guy, 1gal), went for a putt with me. It was a sobering and bonding expeiriance each time, and the very least I could do. Best of luck to you and yours. Dennis.

My little brother rides on the back of my bike. So what? Is this thread a question of masculinity?
Nah, you were just being an ******* and you stuck your foot in your mouth that's all.

Scratt was helping a dying bro out.
Did you get that?
You made light of it and now you're trying to minimize what you said.

That's the __________ line.
You owe Scratt an apology.

Oh and BTW, if I was giving my friend a ride who was dying of cancer and you made fun of me for me for doing so, I'd kick your *** and then explain to you why I did.

Started riding in the 60's, issue was a non-issue then. Don't understand why it is today, ain't so worried about what someone might think that I wouldn't give a friend a ride if he needed/wanted it; have done it. Grandson isn't old enough to ride legally, but have taken him on the trailbike, and some circles in a cul de sac on a Harley, because he wanted to ride on the big one so bad. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I see nothing wrong or improper about two guys on a bike. Long as they behave, of course.

Good thing you did Scratt.

Lost my uncle to C he's the dude that put me on a minibike ~35years ago and started the obsession. So it hits home.

Thanks Art, I hope all is well with you and yours.

And Thanks to all for the kind words and Lionism for having my back.

Today kinda sucked, my Ol and another Brother and his wife went over and cleaned my Bro's house today. Alot of food was dropped off and I fixed their van. Just kinda waiting now.

I am my Brothers keeper, Loyal to Those Loyal to me.
