I can understand why he doesn't ride it, especially since he had it dumped in his lap. Different people just like different things. If I won a set of golf clubs in a contest someone entered me in, I would be in the same situation and my golfing buddies would be scratching their heads.

Out of all the posts, I agree with dynageezer the the most. He is saying different strokes for different folks. At least he's does ride it, even though he maybe hurting the motor. But lets remember, it is his motor...... Ride Safe and Often....BearC.Paw.........

He sounds, perhaps, as if he is a nervous rider and is intimidated by you and your obvious impatience. Leave him be. He may never be an avid rider...who knows...let him discover his like or dislike for biking on his own.Added pressure from you may only thwart his efforts.

Here's the problem. His wife entered the contest, not him. Regardless, it's his bike and he can choose to ride it how he likes. Sounds like he's just not comfortable riding in a lot of traffic, but still enjoys the occassional ride. You should just show up Sunday morning to show your support and then tell him that you won't give him grief about it again. There's no reason to lose a friend over it.
