Is it better to have your co saying - I am not going to discriminate against people who ride a motorbike (or have tattoos or piercing or a different sexual preference from mine) and therefore I will not deal with other companies who do not share my moral and ethical values.
It shouldn't really make a difference if the interviewer is any good but if there is just that outside chance it's going to differentiate you negatively from the competition why do it?
Yeah I get that hence I haven't used it for an interview, as you say why risk it. Also, to be honest it's a bit of a faff changing and I'd rather not have that just before an interview.
It's interesting, I ride an R1 (the iconic 1999 one obviously) with 'flashy' Arai helmet (not custom so must get a grip) and full leathers (when the weather is nice, otherwise all season clothing) and when I pitch up on it on a work day, no one bats an eye lid, quite the opposite there is a fair bit of interest, so I don't see why it should be different for an interview.
When you show up in it post interview you have been accepted. You are stating here that it draws attention, albeit of a good kind.
At interview I want to remove as many barriers to entry as possible and the biker image may be one if these. I don't want to draw attention to anything but my skills, business acumen and personality.
I am a die hard biker, member of an affiliate MC & have some serious tattoos. You wouldn't notice in a tailored suit.
Any way, I didn't say not to go to the interview by bike, just said to shower before the interview. If you are riding that beautiful R1 of yours properly, you will be working up a sweat.

Looking at the size of the chicken strips on that back tyre and pristine sliders I think he will be fine
