As a heavy girl myself who doesn't know anything about motorcycles, I wouldn't even guess that I might be too heavy to ride. Especially with the variety of shapes and sizes that I see riding on the road. I doubt she knew.

It also depends on the make and model of the motorcycle. Some of them can take a lot of weight, some are delicate little fairy bikes.

All the people who thumbed me down, must've been told they were too big to get on a motorcycle. Haha!

I'm definitely not too big to ride a motor cycle and I thumbed you down. You were thumbed down because your comment is insensitive and moronic.

Boo hoo! Stop being so sensitive, there's worse things in the world than being too big for a motorcycle.

God you're a jerk, trellz. I normally try to find a witty charismatic way to tell others that they're awful, but I feel this is a case where it should just be said outright.

I'm not a jerk and I'm definitely not awful. You don't know me and I don't know anyone on here personally. I was joking, I mean no harm to anyone on this site. Sometimes it's fun to just....pester people.

it's not nessecarily that the bike can't handle it. if she is too heavy and he turns a corner her weight will cause the bike to topple over. the bike can most likely handle her weight it's the driver who can't compensate for it.

Especially if she's never ridden before and doesn't know how to safely shift her weight. Hell, a smaller person that's never ridden has to learn this. I agree, both of your safety was top priority. I would accept a kindly said decline, than both of you never being able to ride again.

Thanks 53! I've never ridden motorcycles so I wasn't sure what the whole deal was :)

Wow, just wow.

Because we can all afford to buy a new motorbike purely to benefit one person.
