20 years ago we wouldn't even be having this conversation, most people wouldn't have even thought twice. We are suppose to live in a more progressive world? All talk.

I wouldn't think twice about anybody asking for a ride but I would be self consious about it and I wouldn't have 20 years ago...

I rode another biker friend a couple hundred miles to pick up a bike he was purchasing on my Street Glide Ultra. No problem.

But I made sure I had my riders back rest in place just in case I had to stop short. Lol

One of y'all is either deep in the closet or not secure with your masculinity.

Rainbow shirts?

I was taking a Bro with cancer on a ride.

BTW, He died on Tuesday.

Don't let that guy who's obviously locked in the closet get to you.

My condolences to you and his family.

My father in law, who I actually loved and respected, lost the fight a few years back so I know how much it sucks. Very sorry to hear this, prayers to you and his family.

Ignore the dickwad that made the rainbow shirts comment. I've learned over the years that the most homophobic people you meet are usually doing it because they are trying to hide some sort of inner feelings.

You know I kind of changed my view on this, My son's bike was ready at the dealer and while I wanted to ride I had him jump on the back and I took him to the dealer, Of course he needed my charge card to pay for it:-( So while I initially said no, I kind of changed on that one. Part of it maybe because I don't have the Sportster I ride anymore and there was a little more room on the Street Bob
