It's not like I have blind date to go to right now. I quit doing that. But I was just wondering because someone, a guy, went to a blind date on his bike. None of my blind date worked for me neither haha

I wouldn't really consider a coffee shop a date. For real dates, my truck only. Anyone who gets setup with me will already know I ride, they don't need to deal with the gear and sweat.

I'd park the bike there an hour before we were supposed to meet. Then I'd show up in my car but leave on the bike. She'd think I was a special agent or something.

If I was asked out on a blind date (I should be that lucky) If I was you, YumI'd make the first contact from the saddle of my bike in daylight- if he's a rider he won't be offended, if he's not you probably have nothing in common anyway.
Then you can decide if you want to spend/waste any more time on the guy Yum.
The way a guy rides his bike will tell you a lot more about him than any time spent drinking coffee, if you know what to look for. The showoff, the reckless one, the arrogant one, the bully - all come out in a guys riding style.
Good luck !

I might buy a scooter and ride that. If I get a second date, then I'll know she's in love with me.

How do I go on a blind date?

I wear loud shoes.




(Had to be done!)

It didn't have to be done. In fact, I'd argue that it shouldn't have been.

But at least it was an attempt at humor. This place has been so dry for so long.

This one was pretty good, though:

Truck dates are the best. They have bench seats.

How I met my husband: 2 hr scenic ride to meet him, dinner date with his dad (there's a backstory there), then we went fishing off a bridge in the dark. His dad suggested I that I stay since they lived in the country and he was concerned about deer. I knew someone that had just gotten in a motorcycle VS deer wreck, so I took him up on that offer. Husband said I could sleep in his bed and he would sleep on the couch, but I felt comfortable with him, so we cuddled. And here I am, it's almost our 2nd anniversary, we are living across the country, and my career did a 180 in a completely different direction. I'm very happy. He doesn't have a sportbike or motorcycle endorsement, but he had a cruiser and used to race dirtbikes. I'll get him on team CBR soon after we move again. Have fun on your date!

I stopped going on blind dates. Got tired of having to deal with their damn cane or seeing-eye dog.

Now I just go for the deaf ones.
