Motorcycles and appointments

I have a Harley Davidson that I love to ride almost everywhere I go and this will also occasionally include appointments.How many other guys ride their bikes to appointments and ladies, what is your opinion on this, since Harley's are noisy and sometimes will draw attention to the rider.

I don't ride to appointments because I don't want to be sweaty and stinky when I arrive.
I wouldn't mind, especially if I got to take a ride with you! I was thinking today, what a beautiful day it would have been to go puttin'! I make a great back rest!
Since I only live a few miles from where I play and most of my appointments are either fairly early in the morning or late in the afternoon, being hot and sweaty has not been an issue.Nicolet, I would be happy to give you a ride afterwards,and I am sure you would be a wonderful backpack,lol!Hopefully we can make that happen one day!!

I would not think loud pipes would be bothersome if a brother putted in shut down quickly without blipping the throttle. Then politely exit in the same manner. I would always offer a ride. Ladies what is your perspective?

No issues at all you cruising in on your bike, and a cool shower before things heat up is never a issue. I also adore riding and if I have time would love to be your biker botch for a cruise. I have a regular I ride with every time I go to Shreveport and its the only way I truly get to get out and see the country...........

A loud, oil leaking motorcycle defeats any notion of discretion.

The noise is obviously something that can be controlled but I can see why a lady wouldn't want one at her private incall or motel. For better or worse a bike is much more memorable than a car or truck so attracts a bit more attention.

If your meeting at a two star hotel or higher then what you arrive in doesn't matter as much because it's just another vehicle in the parking lot.
Hey Lucky! If you're ever in my part of the country, showers and rides, traditional or not , are always welcome where I am!

And like you, I always offer rides if the lady is interested and has time.
