One time I was in Whitehorse on a bike trip. I was pulled over at a rest stop and an older couple with their grandson pulled in next to me. I was sitting at a picnic table nearby watching the little boy walk around and talk about the bike. I guess he was probably 7 or 8. So I walked over and asked if he'd like to sit on it. I helped him on the bike and they took picture of him (like 4 or 5). Put the helmet and gloves on him...I just thought that this is the part of the trip the kidmay remember...

 

Usually I will let anybody sit on my bikes, I will even let several people ride them. In fact I am letting a buddy ride my 03 Heritage from Denver to Sturgis this year. I am pretty casual about this stuff.... now some of my buddies... that is a different story!!!!

 

Three rules I expect people to live by

3) Don't kick my dogs

2) Don't pinch my wifes ***

1) Don't touch my Harley

In that order.

If I offer to let a friend ride it, that's one thing. But if I walk out of the store and find some dude sitting his little kid on my bike ever again, he's gettin an *** whippin that will make his entire family cry.

Yes, I said "again". It took everything I had to keep from rippin that dipsh!t a new one. Lucky for him I was already on probation and didn't need the legal hassles. I'm off now, so...yeh....watch it.

 

Yep, if I ever came out from some place and saw someone I didn't know sitting on my bike.. I'd probably lose my mind!
It's like someone you don't know walking into your house and looking in your fridge!

I've had to tell a couple of freinds who don't ride who tride to get on the bike "You have to ask first!"

 

Kids can sit on it, nobody else rides it.

 

...and it'll be one of the proudest moments in your life when you do

 

I Came out of the resterant with a freind and he asked if he could sit on mine, I said sure. I was talking to someone else when we got outside, so I turned to him when he was on my bike and told him that, that wasn't my bike, He Freaked out. I did calm him down.

My bike yes, my muscle cars no, my wife...maybe?

 

Like Bill said...it is only a vehicle....a possession. It is NOT made of gold, and it is not the end of the world if it accidently gets a scratch on it.

I have NP if somebody sits on it, if they ask. Don't just presume that it's okay, and jump on w/o having the common courtesy of asking first.

 

As long as someone asks first then sure, why not? I've let friends ride mine.
