    It's been one of my dad's lifelong dream to ride a chopper style bike. He has always loved motorbikes but hasn't been on one in many years. Every time he watches American Chopper or passes one on the road he practically salivates! Well it's his birthday soon and I'd love to arrange for him to ride one for a few hours, does anyone know anywhere that might do this? I'm not sure that he is licenced to drive a motorbike but I will ask him after I see if it's even possible to arrange this, I don't wanna get his hopes up just in case!

    If for some reason he doesn't have a motorbike licence you can try looking for a trike, it uses a car licence.

    I didn't realise that it was a car, a trike like that would be perfect if the bike license is an issue

    Damn they want a major credit card from me in case of damages to the bike, that's something I didn't take into consideration :(

    Maybe just go for one of those "30 mins in a Ferrari" type deals?

    But without a credit card I doubt any rental place will entertain.
