Well this is even funnier, she has a daughter who wants to ride, and she is about 275lbs. I can't possibly do that to my Harley, I already told them because of my size we would be over the weight limit. Why does this happen to me.
Your just lucky I guess. Boy, you sure know some Hefty Heifers.

Thats why I tell them that only my wife or daughter are the only females allowed on my bike.

If the bike is on the kick stand, wouldn't it be harder to lift? Then he would have busted a gut!

I am 350 lbs and am always worried about going over the weight limit. My wife weigh 200lbs. I aint mad at her, we gained the weight together. When we met 12 years ago, I was only 175lbs. I ran 3 miles twice a day, taught weight lifting and aerobics (that's where the girls are, so no homo jokes.) at the University here in town. After two wonderful kids, I only have time for one leisure activity. I choose to ride instead of work out. I can still bench a Yugo (if I could find one), but priorities change, and for me, the family and the harley are all I have time for (and this forum). The wife has even said that lately this forum and the harley have pushed her and the kids down a notch. Guess I should re examine my priorities? Maybe after I take a nice long ride this weekend.

Is this her? She asked me for a ride once....I told her the bike wasn't running all that well, and asked if she would take a rain check!

My wife and I are both around the 200 mark and like PapaTravis said we got there together. We ride together and love it. I always stand the bike then I stand and lean the bike a little in the opposite direction. My wife knows how to get on and off and waits untill I tell her to. She is able to get on and step through well. I think it is more about training them to do it right now matter what their size.

My bagger will do wheelies with a fat chick on the back...BeforeI met my GF -I took the passenger boards off so Ihad a good excuse NOT to give women rides...
I only gave my GF one ride on theBob- I didn't like the way she could make the bike move when she leaned wrong...

I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago, thankfully it was on the sport bike. I had to give her a ride, however she decided to jump on the back when I had 1 foot on the ground and 1 kicking up the kickstand. Basically it equaled the bike going over ..... I was so pissed and to this day I still keep the scratched plastics as an example.
