Only under certain circumstances.

1. Your bike eats it and refuses to start in the middle of B.F.E.
2. Nuclear Holocaust


3. If you really like each other, a lot.
Like in a homosexual kind of way.

I took my brother down the block once and it was the most harrowing experience of my life. The pointing, the stares, the giggling...never again!

Is it worse for two guys to ride together or for a guy to ride b*tch on a girls bike???  I've seen both....my lil brother rode on the back with my dad (he's 17) and he's ridden on the back of my bike too...


this guy i used to date rode on the back of my bike too...I brought him to pick his bike up from the shop.


And I've def done the two girl thing...alot... :laugh:

Ok two girls, entirely massively acceptable.

I don't see what the big deal is really about the two guys thing. Unless they're jerking eachother off as the go down the road it's a viable emergency manuver.

I've ridden on the back of a girl's bike, and she probably will be able to out-ride me no matter how good I get. She made it so I wasn't afraid of motorcycles.

I have no problem with giving male friends rides once in a while.  I make a point to take them to some fun roads and I don't ride a bike out at night anyway.  It's actually influenced a couple friends to get their own bikes (which I've been able to ride too! 

I've had periods where my only vehicle was a bike and at times it was necessary to give other guys rides.  Plus I've lived long enough in countries with real motorcycle culture long enough not to be bothered be it.  My first ride on a bike was as a pillon behind a guy on a Honda Africa twin. 

I wouldn't give a random guy a ride though.

Hmm. That is a good question. I don't think I would take a guy on my bike for a couple of reasons. For one, guys are often bigger than girls - and let's face it, the GS isn't a power monster. It would feel like a scooter.  :laugh: And secondly, the guy would have to straddle me - and that's not going to happen.

However, if it was a bike that was set up better for passenger riding - like a Goldwing - haha, then yeah, I wouldn't have a problem with it.  :dunno_white:

I have given lots of rides to other male teenagers from my church and younger. Not guys my age and older. Just dosen't look right. But you never know when you might influence other riders. I know I was drawn by the conversations I have had with other motorcyclists. Before I got my GS I never even touched a bike.

While reading this I was reminded of a quote my Homer Simpson talking to some ghey guys:
"You mean you guys are those guys who like guys!?!"   That was great.

I've ridden on the back of a guy's bike...  I didn't like it much...

My crotch kept asking me about his crack for at least a week after that...   :icon_confused:

You want to learn some good lines from a fast guy?  Ride on the back of his bike.

Well I believe the consenus is "No, it's not ok." at least among the more "image conscious" members.

For me, no I'm not comfortable with it. Mostly cause I don't know many guys who ride responsibly enough for me to want to be back there. (Same feeling about my friends with their cages.

Guy on back of girls' bike "No, not ok." Seems to be a power issue for most.

Me? I don't give a shaZam! really. If I rode a bike for other people I'd be on a Busa, Gixxer on ZX-14 as my first bike and chromed it. (Then I would be a squid.)

My first ride was on the back of a guy's bike and I was scared the whole time. Last summer I spent on the back of a girl's bike, learning not to be so afraid of bikes. Now I put my knee down whenever given the chance.

I think it's ok if the boy on the bike is like 8 years old...and the driver's son.  Other than that...I'll be honest...I laugh whenever I see it.  :icon_lol:

I ride on the back of my dads bike, thundercat and on his BMW.

I personally don't have a problem giving a guy a lift on the back of my bike, obviously not the whole holding around the waist kinda thing but my gf is welcome to do that :). But no i don't mind. I wouldn't do it regularly i would just do it so they could have an experience of been on a motorcycle, i wouldn't commute a collegue or something to work on my bike whether they were male of female.

I also don't have a problem going on the back of a bike if a girl is driving. So basically im not fussed, 2up with a guy isn't any different from 2up with a girl or two girls riding. I can't see it as a problem.

Except if your getting the good vibrations from another thread i won't mention  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: you really would look bad getting off the bike then with your mates  :icon_lol:

Ive taking everyone for rides on my bike from my lil 5 year old brother to my grandma. The only reason ive ever taken a guy on the back of my bike is because i was the only one who could drive and i sold my car (i still mis her) for my gs.

As the resident homophobe...I have to say...

NO NO NO   :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:

IN emergencies it is ok but you must maintain the vital 12 inches from the drivers rear at all times.

The only time I've ridden behind a dude was when I was teaching my 14yr old nephew to ride.  I maintained the vital 12 inch distance.

--------
I don't think its about being sexually secure.  It just is what it is. Men don't do that. It is not a knock against ghey men, IMO.  ghey men can have at it. They ARE ghey.  Straight men just shouldn't and usually don't.

It's also a cultural thing. Some cultures are OK with it.  Mine ain't.

If both are geared up and not squidding it, everybody should be on a bike.

Given the chicks I see on the backs of a lot of the harley's around here, I'm not sure there shouldn't even be some heterosexual restrictions.
