Hell, yes. I had a Yamaha Virago in college. Gave rides to chicks all the time. Great conversation starter, too :)

I've never had a chick in my life and now I've had 4...

Just messing.

I do notice that chicks always look over or turn their heads when they're in their cars. Also every chick I know has asked for a ride. Not to mention all the instances where chicks are like boys on bikes are hot...

I've done this. There's nothing that makes you feel better after a fight with your girl than getting on your bike and opening it up on a summer evening.

Any object that attracts women is going to attract women that are shallow and materialistic.

I prefer to beat them over the head and drag them back to my cave.

So if I give a 2 year old kid a puppy and take him to the park on my motorcycle, am I in for sure? :D
