Good on you, Scratt. I'm another graybeard, and there was a few times back in the late 60s and early 70s when I'd give a friend a lift, or need one myself. Just wasn't a big deal then. Funny how perceptions have changed so much, but there's lots of things that have changed (forever) from those days.

 

You did the right thing. Sorry to hear about your brother, cancer sucks.

Anyone who has a problem with what you did needs to ask their self why it's an issue to them, are they really that insecure in their masculinity?

 

X2 on that. Only difference i wouldn't explain why.

 

Sorry to hear about your brother be very thankful that you were able to do this for him. I hope to be able todo this for a family member as well. I don't care what anyone thinks because I know what it will me to her.

 

You have to remember, back then there were no "Internet Tuff Guys" to dictate protocol.

Most importantly not everyone was a homophobe...

Cool gesture on your part

 

Good on you Scratt...too many "homophobes" out there and, back in the day, we were always bumming rides on 2-wheelers. As long as you're not "hanging onto the saddlehorn" - all is well, unless you're into that thing...which is cool too.

 

My kid brother was killed on the back of my Harley. He was 15,and loved that scoot. Would go out and sit on it whenever I was over to visit the family. I took him for rides all the time,and he died doing something he loved.I'm more than secure enough in my manhood not to give a rat's *** about anyone else's perception of me,or what I do.

 

Yup, while I'd rather give somebody a ride in my truck as everybody isn't wise on riding, I'm secure enough in my masculinity that having somebody sit on the back isn't going to bother me.

Especially one not long for this world.

Ya did good giving him a ride, F anybody who has a problem with that.

Good for you, Scratt. Same here. My dad's 82, and moved into assisted living this past spring. Between early onset dementia, losing the house, giving up the dogs, hating his hearing aids, lost his drivers license, etc he's been pretty depressed. Picked him up on the bike one day, and can't get enough now. Kinda like your brother riding, it's a nice break & getaway for awhile. I'm 58, and can't be bothered with what somebody thinks about 2 guys on a bike. Sometimes, people who've never been on a bike just want to feel what it's like.
