would it be weird to approach someone who rides one and ask for lessons? how much money would you charge for lessons if a complete stranger asked you to teach them?

If youre cute and single, I wouldnt charge you a dime....except for repairs...
If youre fat and ugly and want to try on my bike - you dont have enough money in the world....
Do yourself a favor - if you live in the USA, take an Motorcycle Safety Foundation course for a few hundred dollars... They provide the bike and the parking lot, and they are experienced TEACHERS (which is more important than an experienced rider).

the best way is to look into taking the motorcycle safety foundation course. They give it at some colleges or even some driving schools have it.
Having someone teach you may be cheaper, but they may probably won't teach you to be as safe a driver as taking a course, plus they may teach you some of their bad riding habits.
Better to spend the money for the course and learn to be as best a driver as you can
If you insist on having a person teach you, then please get the MSF course book or dvd and review it OFTEN. Practice the drills in it and don't outride your capability. Never let anyone make you feel that you need to drive faster, etc.

Get the lessons from a good certified class. Not a stranger unless yo wish to have a good pick line.

Take the MSF approved Basic Rider Course or the approved Harley-Davidson course. There is not substitute for a MSF instructor.

You need to learn how to ride a bicycle first. Then dirt bike for a bit. Then get a 2hp scooter. Then take a course for harley chicks u.s.a. Then you will know everything

Take the MSF course. It's probably around $300. I wouldnt recommend asking some random biker that you dont know.

err...you're probably better off just signing up for one of those DMV approved motorcycle classes.
I know some JC's also offer motorcycle classes and even give you some certificate which essentially lets you bypass the written exam.
I wouldn't just "ask" somebody who's got a bike and ask them to show you...
Good luck!

would you trust a complete stranger with your credit card?

Unless you had your own bike, it wouldn't happen no matter what you looked like. I value my bike more than that.
