Today, the girl who likes me incredibly much asked me if she could come for a ride with me on my motorcycle. Normally this isn't a problem as I take lots of people out for rides for fun, but this time I had no choice but to tell her she couldn't because she's just too heavy for it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the girl of my dreams asked me if I wanted to go biking with her. "Just the two of us," she said. I had to turn her down because I'm 17 years old and never learned how to ride a bike. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were driving around town in his car. To my surprise he took me out to lunch. As we were leaving, a girl walks up and asks if he had room for one more for a ride, sadly he only has two seats in his car. Guess who had to walk! FML
Today, I pulled my motorcycle into a wheelie when my crush drove by. She was the one who drove me to the hospital when I went over backward. FML
Today, I took off the training wheels of my niece's bike. I tried to show her how to ride it, but she told me to get off because I needed a "fat girl's bike." FML
Today, my girlfriend was driving me to her house against my will when I said, "Sometimes it's annoying that you always decide where we go because you drive." She replied, "Yeah, I wish I could be more of the girl in this relationship." FML
Today, the girl I like was panicking because her car broke down, so I offered her a lift to wherever she needed to be. I drove her to her boyfriend's house. She asked me to drive her home in the morning. FML
Today, I agreed to go on a bike ride with my boss, even though I think he's crazy. We rode for a few miles, then he decided it was time to merge onto the freeway. FML
Today, I was cuddling with the girl I've been seeing for the past few months. She was saying how much she liked me and how much I meant to her. Reciprocating those feelings, I asked her to be my girlfriend. It was a HARD no for her. Then she drove me an hour and a half home. FML
Today, I watched my fiancé ride off on my motorcycle with another girl. FML
Today, my friend and I offered a hot girl a lift home from campus. I was sitting in the passenger seat and she climbed in behind me. As I adjusted my seat forward to give her more leg room, my friend pulled off - slamming my seat back into her legs. FML

I hope you didn't put it that way. You could've just told her you had something else to do.

And then the next time she asks?

#77, I think Op needs, to be honest about who he can give rides to. There is no reason not to be honest in this situation. "The bike cannot handle both our weights combined, I am sorry." There are polite ways to tell someone and cruel ways. If Op told her she was a fat hippo and would never ride a bike because she would bend it into a pretzel, that would be cruel.

I have no idea how you can tell her gently.

just curious how big she is? I know lots of people that are bigger and ride just fine on motorcycles or even driving it themselves.

Heavy people driving by themselves is actually easier on a bike. The problem with other people on bikes is you don't know if they know how to lean in corners. Some people don't know how to do that and actually lean the opposite way so you have to lean over even more. Now imagine someone who is twice your weight doing that.

If someone told me this, my feelings wouldn't be hurt at all because safety comes over anything. I hope she was understanding. Also, what is the weight limit on bikes?

Like many of my fellow bikers pointed out before: Oftentimes it's not the question wheter the bike can handle the weight but much more if the bikER can. I personally find it very hard to drive with somone on the heavier side sitting behind me! I know my own limits! When I look at someone and am scared or concerend about going for a ride then I won't do it! Wheter or not the bike could handle the weight is not important to me in that situation!

My friend wanted to go for a motorcycle ride with my boyfriend once. I thought it was fine until he said, "Elephants on wheels are only something that could happen in cartoons and circuses." Just don't say something like that.

That tough I hope you were nice about it. Probably took a lot to ask.

I'm not to big but kinda chubby at 170lbs and I dated this boy who drove a Yamaha R1 and he bought this extender thing on his bike so the back wheel goes further out so I could be more comfy and added a handle to the gas tank so when I rode I felt safer

what kind of motorcycle are we talking about here, because I've seen some REAL bikes carry two people who easily totaled over 500 lbs. I'm guessing a street bike/dirt bike and not a proper hog?
