Is it only me?

[Ratti]

or has this happend to other women?

I've been going along on regular rides with a couple of bunches of riders. By far the majority are males of various vintages. Several times I have had the riders pointedly making reference to their wives when it really wasnt part of the conversation. In one case, one of them felt needful to tell me outright that going out riding was in fact 'not a date'

What the fuck? I am riding with these folk because I like riding in a group and need the onroad time to improve my appalling skill level. NOT i repeat NOT to try and hook up with someone.

I was puzzled as to why they would feel the need to do this. Then I was mortified that I may have been doing something that would make them think I was interested in them rather than the riding. Now Im just plain f****n pissed off.

To the point where I am seriously considering not joining in anymore. FFS, I assume they are there to ride, what the hell makes them think they are so f****n attractive that I would be distracted from my desire to ride and overcome with desire for them?

Is it just that my startling resemblance to a old knobbly spud is so marked that they feel the need to say 'gross, I find you unattractive" Again that would come back to them having the unbelievable attitude that they are so attractive that I would fling myself at them. er...not even

Is this a common reaction from males toward us homely females? Can I assume the pretty ones don't get this type of reaction? Or is it just that they can't believe that a mature woman would be so keen on riding that she would actually be keen on riding?

What do you think is going on?
anyway, I feel better for having had a rant. Off to work.

[blackdog]

reverse psychology maybe?

c'mon.....name and shame :blink:

[slofox]

Hasn't happened to me...must be just you, Ratti...Oh hang on, you said "other women" didncha? Could be something in that...

[aprilia_RS250]

You said you ride out with males mainly. That makes you a minority, minorities always get picked on. If you had more females in the group I'm sure you wouldn't get those comments. I'm sure it'd happen to a guy riding with a group of chicks

[slofox]

I'm sure it'd happen to a guy riding with a group of chicks

Errrmmmm..where does one find such a ride then, eh?

[Princesszxr]

I cant say ive ever had this happen to me,i have heard of it happening to a friend but id say its just arrogance? with a couple of the boys its an ego thing...HOLD THE PHONE: before you boys start your target practice im only saying that SOME boys get a bit like this majority of you are very respectful to us.
Ratti dont let it get to you. have a rant and go for a ride :)

[Quasi]

Hi Ratti, there could be several answers to this:

Guys feel overawed by single chicks on bikes - need to set the boundaries early
they have been following your cougars thread (no disrespect intended)

i have ridden with lots of guys - they all very well behaved. Their partners always come into the conversation. Why not? they are a part of their lives. I am sure its not a mechanism to let anyone know they are not interested.

dont give up on the rides, but get into some girlie rides (i know you been trying to organise them). Much more fun, no competitiveness, and lots of great gossip at the end.

[Ratti]

reverse psychology maybe?

c'mon.....name and shame :blink:

Jeepers Stig... These guys are married...I have way to much respect for the Sisterhood to EVER go there

Won't name and shame as I am sure they wouldnt go there either. Its the sheer bloody arrogance of the sods to feel the need to cut off an assumed interest that does not exist.

Friggen tossers. mutter. mutter.

aaah, yes the cougar thread... it is way disprespectful that thread! *giggle*

I can see that partners would be a normal part of conversation sometimes, but the one who felt the need to point out 'this is not a date' ???? WTF was that about?

Womens rides rock! Pootled up to Paraparaumu on SUnday morning. Had coffee and breakfast at Maccas with a great lady and am keen to do so again. In the absence of that type of ride tho, I'm stuck with male dominated rides. I'm going to start wearing the promise ring my husband gave me. Flash it around and it should stop any such discussions happening. Maybe? hope so anyway.

[Genie]

I have had this happen, not so much with group rides, I dont' do groups, but in other social areas. I have always believed their reasoning behind mentioning the wife and kids is not so much to put me off but more to remind themselves that they are married as they attracted to me..:lol:
....could be you just way too hot and they need cooling down with a reality check.

As to the this is not a date, maybe he is trying to flatter himself that you find him attractive. They are just boys on the inside and when left to their own devices they, well, they really struggle with the whole communication thing! dont' take it to heart, just ride better than they do.

Is it worth getting a ladies ride group together - working with your local Motorcycle Shop? (Assuming their isn't already local lady groups)

My local - Bayride (ROCKS!) who tend to get involved in the community with different events anyway, run a pretty good ladies group that was featured in the latest BRM, there's a thread in here I believe?

yes - the cougar thread had me fair swooning in my chair some nights. Was not for the faint hearted and left me all hot and bothered at times. heehee!!

No - the date comment definately an inappropriate comment, but thats guys for yah.

So - looks like we need to get that womens ride group up and riding

[avgas]

Cheer up.
Its cos they think your a hot mamma.
I once blurted out "I'M MARRIED!", completely irrelevant to the conversation.......but the hot red head did not mind this at all, so I continued talking about Market Position......while still staring at her tits.
Us men a simple creatures.

they are boys they always think all the women love them, they need it for their whole ego-trip-man-thing they on. Don't not go on hte ride because a man said something foolish....hell, everytime they open their mouths foolishness utters forth. OK, not all the time but lots, read above post, it's all about cleavage.

:lol: Friend of mine in sales, her husband remarked one morning he knew she was out to get her quoto up, she wore a cleavage showing top, it works, they dumbfounded by bobbies!!!!

'Moobs'?? is something pillions can hang on to?

[Trudes]

Is that it is?? I always just thought that guys who talk about their wives and kids a lot just thought their wives and kids were great (and I in turn just thought they had nothing better to talk about than their wives and kids.... like I'm supposed to be remotely interested, unless I asked of course). But then again, I'm totally shallow and don't do well with "chit chat" and bullshit.... the weather? Well have a look around, that's how the weather is FFS. :laugh:

[Gone Burger]

Hey Ratti.

Sorry to hear about this. I truely hope it doesn't put you off the group rides, as I was hoping to see you at tomorrow ride out to the coast. It's a lovely ride, and a pretty supportive group.

It seems that a few men may mean this in different ways. I know that a lot of guys I have met on these ride have mentioned their parters and families, but in a very loving way, and how much they appreciate the fact that they let them have some time out to go riding.

Don't let the comment get you down. The rides should be about the riding - that's exactly why I go as I just can't seem to get enough of being on my bike. And I get a real buzz riding in a group of people, who are there for the same reason.

Pleased you had a good ride on Sunday - sorry I couldn't make it, will try harder next time.

So, see you tomorrow hopefully? Me and Christy will be there to talk to and keep you saine :)

[saxet]

Maybe youré one of those outgoin friendly types that can get mistaken for for having an 'agenda' when you don't.
Does sound odd tho. Not knowing the context of the conversation maks it harder to understand.
Not all guys are dickheads, or women. Whatever the female term is.

Just keep on riding and enjoy that... don't sweat the B.S.

[BiK3RChiK]

What you need is some real good comeback lines to hit Mr Ego with then turn around and walk away. IME, these 'men' are best ignored or just laugh at them along with a clever quip...

One thing is for sure, don't let it get to you! It's not about you, but more about him, I reckon.

Chin up, and keep riding. Oh, and find some better riding buddies.

[Mom]

Strong, single females are attractive. Makes no difference what they look like they exude a charisma that is hard to not be drawn towards. Gauche springs to mind if a bloke/s on a ride felt the need to say what was said.

Chin up and knock them out sister!

[Genie]

Wonder if that works in reverse too :shifty: as in.... "moobs"?:whistle: :laugh:

.......DMNTD???

some how I just can't see Moobs as a selling point.....now abs is a different story!

Lol I now wish I started a thread saying that hot women keep coming to chat me up when I turn up on a bike, and I hate it cos it ruins my ride.

[Toaster]

Yeah that sweatie arse crack we get draws them in like moths to a flame :D

LMAO!! More like flies to a turd!

Well, being a boy, sometimes we feel it's necessary to offer a disclaimer. We don't mean anything by it.

yeah but they're only coming to look at your bike....not your moobs

[cmoore]

bloody hell ratti.......are you sentisive or what..guys will talk about whatever....saying it's not a date was probably a joke, this thread says more about you then the male riders....

[Toaster]

Not quite clear on what this thread is on about but many riders talk about their families. It's natural conversation and don't see how that can be a bad thing.

you are guys, you just dont' get 'it':shutup:

And to answer your thread title, yep, i think it is only you.

[Gone Burger]

some how I just can't see Moobs as a selling point.....now abs is a different story!

Hahaha this made me laugh at a memory...

my first ride ever on a bike was on the back of a harley that was taking "kids" for a ride around the block at a local event (only last year). I stood in line, payed my $2.00 and the kind man took me for a hell of a spin down the highway. Half hour later we returned. His long grey pony tail was flicking in my face, I was holding on tightly to his lovehandles, then he moved my hands up to his "moobs" for a more secure grip.

Ahhh he thought it was so funny. Well, actually it was. Lovely chap really, and thats the day I decided I wanted to ride motorcycles. All thanks to him and his moobs!

Or some that do, and we women can be hyper-sensitive and over analyse? Works both ways at times I guess! (No reference to OP :) )

Ratti dearest, you can come ride with me any ol time you want, no pressure here, me thinks it was more likely the boys were! remiinding themselves of their wee woman back at home, but ya never know. I'm sure they would have got an earful if you had really thought there was anything to it.
Don't sweat it, let it roll on over the top and get on with riding heaps with good mates, boys an girls.

Usually 'don't flatter yourself!' works.... Or, 'Today, I'm just here for the bike riding'... 'If I wanted to jump your bones, you'd know about it, but it's not your lucky day'... or, just simply, 'I think you're confused!' and then steer clear of them.

If I was out riding with a group of fulla's, I think I'd simply ignore comments like that. I'd be wanting to concentrate on the ride and having fun, not on getting irritated by 'sexual dynamics' and ego's. Learn to let it go. Shrug it off. Learn to laugh at stuff like that...

[Number One]

Don't take it personally Ratti (or any of you other lovely hot biking ladies out there) but there have been and are a few skanky moles (yes even on KB) who seem to make a sport of trying to sink their claws into other ladies men...multiple men btw.

One in particular (that many on here will know of) is a complete fucking psycho and tried it on with many many fellas before being told to FUCK OFF in no uncertain terms and finally she had tried her shit out on so many people that word spread.

To the offending psycho hose beast...honey if I ever have to see you face to face again I assure you it won't be a pretty exchange, hopefully you have found some gullible sorry loser to take advantage of with your woe is me bullshit and so you won't be out there causing any more shit amongst happy sane couples....HA who am I kidding...I can't imagine that a sorry enough loser who would be prepared to put up with your shit exists.

Hey - well said No.1. My pet hate - when other chicks seem to think your man is fair game - just because they want. No.2 hate - partnered up men who think being in a marriage or committed relationship means its also ok to play around. Not enough honesty or integrity on this planet.

perfectly clear and you're not wrong. What about the other scenerio where the man in question looks afeild for further entertainment, can't blame the women too much in that situation especially when they cover up their true situation....some men have a lot to answer for.

[Eyegasm]

Sorry to hear this Ratti, hopefully it wasn't on a Tuesday ride as most of the regulars seem quite nice and friendly.

...............And I am Attractive!!! and I do not care what others think!!!

[Edbear]

Don't sell yourself short either, Ratti. Have a good look around and supermodels are few and far between. Most of us, yes, men included, are rather ordinary looking folk and don't rate ourselves too high in the glamour stakes. Usually all we need is a wee bit of fettling, a touch of lippy for the ladies, and a smile that lets our personality come through and we're attractive.

Speaking as a man, I am drawn to women who have that "something" in their face that tells one they are a nice person. Otherwise they are no more than a pretty picture to look at. It 's something that took many years for my wife to understand. She still thinks she's ugly and I used to point out the fact that all the men she met liked her for some reason, and of course I reckon she's a rather long way from ugly, too... She couldn't understand that I didn't want to jump into bed with every prety girl I saw, and I guess it is a stereotype of men, and may certainly be true of some men, that women are merely sex objects.

In the case of your OP, I do think that he was simply speaking without thinking, something people have a tendency to do and I would pass it off as of no consquence. Everyone who knows you through KB thinks you're okay.

[MotoKuzzi]

My experience is that men that talk about their wive's in glowing terms in public are usually cheating on them.:innocent:

[cmoore]

so...all i can take from this is when we ride with woman we don't know we shouldn't mention our wives?....is that it.....what about ovens?...or washing machines...i suppose we can't talk about them either.....and what on earth is wrong with meeting a woman riding a bike and then mentioning that your wife rides a bike too....seems an obvious thing to say...with no double meaning or innuendo that i can think of.....have i missed something here??....

[Ratti]

I wish I knew how to multi quote on one post.

Let me see if I have distilled the basic thoughts from y'all.
- It's all in my head
- it's not in my head, there is something going on with these guys
- they fancy me and are trying to attract my attention
- they don't fancy me and want to set boundaries
- they think I'm a player
- they are players and want to let me know
- they treasure their partners and just want to talk about how wonderful s/he is
- it's just what men do

What did I miss?
Seems I should just bail up the men who did it and ask to clarify. Short words, Simple sentences, bullet points.

Of course it's ok to talk about your wife..but it should just be a natural part of the flow of conversation, not out of the blue. That's what weirded me out about the situations I am writing about.

I doubt it would have been the cougar thread as one of the groups I go out with is nothing to do with KB.

Still has been an interesting read. Thanks for all the input. Has given me some things to mull over.

Eyegasm dear, have you had the same unfortunate experience? Yes dear, I'm sure all the Tuesday crowd will agree that you are attractive.

[Ratti]

...and what on earth is wrong with meeting a woman riding a bike and then mentioning that your wife rides a bike too....seems an obvious thing to say...with no double meaning or innuendo that i can think of.....have i missed something here??....

Entirely appropriate that you should mention it in that circumstance. But that is not the conversations I'm writing about. Yes you are missing something, but most likely because you are one of the many riders who do not do what I am querying. Just ignore this thread, it's obviously not applying to you.

I agree with you, but I think the bit you missed was where the guy pointedly said "This is not a date!"

I certainly don't take guys that come up to me and say their wife rides, as a warning... but, merely as saying we have something in common to talk about. It's still thought of as fairly 'out there' for a chick to ride, even though there are getting more and more of us.

So fulla's, don't be put off talking about your wife riding to us! We'll probably ask what she rides and does she want to come out on our next ladies ride or want her cellphone number.

Heck yes! You know, 25 years ago I was used to being the only woman I knew who rode. I'm really suprised that it is still sufficiently odd that folk need to comment on it. I am so happy that there are regular postors here that happen to be women.

[Hawkeye]

Why is it that when one plonker steps out of line, every other male is tarred with the same brush.

I have been going on group rides for a number of years with both male and female riders. I have mentioned my wife and family during conversation and have never assumed that some pretty face talking to me was in any way interested in me rather than the ride. (except Quazi of course who does have the hots for me:lol:.... Hi Carla, how ya doing. Haven't seen you for a while).

It amazes me how the, 'all males are like that' mentality immediately kicks in. I've got news for you.......NO WE ARE NOT.

[avgas]

you are guys, you just dont' get 'it':shutup:
So your telling me your not supposed to light the string and throw it?
Where does it go then?

I learned to ride on my Mum's BSA Bantam. When I bought my T500 she used to borrow it to go and visit her Mum, (Grandma, to state the obvious...), in Tauranga! We lived in Warkworth then and she loved the ride and the power... She's 78 now, and would probably still ride a Bantam if she could find one. I know where her old one is but the lady won't part with it.

Hey Kenny ma darlin - the man of my dreams aye. All good with me (just nursing a broken heart, damm, am i allowed to say that here. Yeah of course i am,this is the girlie page, where we can bleed, laugh, rant, rage - do whatever we want).
Time we caught up and had a ride together. You can even bring your wife

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

Sorry to hear this Ratti, hopefully it wasn't on a Tuesday ride as most of the regulars seem quite nice and friendly.

...............And I am Attractive!!! and I do not care what others think!!!

Hey wait a minute - I chatted to Ratti on the last Tuesday ride - It wasn't me was it?

I was just glad to have someone to natter to.

But, if I was one of the offending males (can't remember if I mentioned the missus or not) then I have a damn good excuse: She hides bugs in my clothes and tells me off if I don't talk about her in every conversation I have.

Hehe, she can only hear the keyboard clacking right now - damn her bugs!

[Ratti]

Entirely appropriate that you should mention it in that circumstance. But that is not the conversations I'm writing about. Yes you are missing something, but most likely because you are one of the many riders who do not do what I am querying. Just ignore this thread, it's obviously not applying to you.

Where does it go then?

avgas, if you hadnt already been so nice to me on other posts, I'd have to give in to this overwhelming urge to tell you to bend over

[sidecar bob]

Its not just you chic.
I went on a run on the weekend & saw a dude I went out with in highschool, I'm 41 now, so it was a while ago now
He came over to talk to me and one of the first things he said ti me was "My wife rides a Ducati"
WTF??
Get over it, he was obviously just very proud of her. Hey, my wife (to be) races an ex Isle of Man 600cc sidecar im proud too, dont be so goddam precious.

[Maha]

Fuck, I'm so shy I cant find a fella of my own, let alone trying to score other ladies blokes.

I know a couple of spare women if thats ya thang?

[george formby]

I have had this happen, not so much with group rides, I dont' do groups, but in other social areas. I have always believed their reasoning behind mentioning the wife and kids is not so much to put me off but more to remind themselves that they are married as they attracted to me..:lol:
....could be you just way too hot and they need cooling down with a reality check.

.
Oy would agree with the first bit not having met you. Maybe just guys trying to put woman + motorbike together & using a little positive affirmation with their familys as a starting point. I'm not really a social rider but always tickled when i do meet a woman on a bike, quickly followed by the confusion of social etiquette between women & men. I don't really feel comfortable saying " F**K!! that last bit of road was mint!" I would feel like a total knob acting like that in front of a woman I hardly knew whether I fancied her or not, married or not.
It's probably an understanding thing, not a communication thing, I think, maybe or perhaps. Then again.
I did meet a Canadian lady recently who has a 1098 at home, phwooar! Instant feelings of inadequacy.

[Number One]

perfectly clear and you're not wrong. What about the other scenerio where the man in question looks afeild for further entertainment, can't blame the women too much in that situation especially when they cover up their true situation....some men have a lot to answer for.

Absolutely! Kick them all in their hairy tits and balls :) Tthe fellas in this particular little scenario were good guys though...well MOST of them were good guys...if you know what I mean

[cmoore]

thanks for clearing that up Ratti.........i guess it take all sorts and i will agree there are plenty of weird guys out there...My suggestion to you is this..........relax.......if you feel they are being rude tell them to fuck off.......or laugh....there are no doubt plenty of men who feel threatened by woman on bikes....my first ride with BFTP was with a guy and a woman i had never met....she was new to riding and on a new bike.....we had a great day...nice ride, coffee..etc......never seen her again.....and...i never mentioned the wife or date words.....:)......

[Love my Bonnie]

I know a couple of spare women if thats ya thang?

Sorry to disapoint, but in my opinion Maha, theres no replacement for pubic inches!!

[Fatjim]

This has got to be the most boring thread I've ever had the stupidity to read through.

Women!

[Love my Bonnie]

Then f@#k off back to where you came from
If you dont wanna read what women say, dont look!!

Men!

[goldgal]

Hey Ratti, dont give up group riding,perhaps find another rider to go with. You want to be a granny like me and turn up!. Answer to your problemo, move to the Hawkes Bay. Only had the chance to ride with them once so far but made very welcome by those who wanted to chat . Thats both girls and guys. Come through for the "Camp" event coming up over the 2/3/4th April. Most welcome.:yes:

I have a Mrs, she rides but prefers to go pillion so she can snuggle in and she doesn't mind me having the odd date !

Do ya recon she called him ?

[fire eyes]

hahaha matey just sounds like male ego .. me man type, woman know your place .. looky looky but no touch LOL don't pay any mind to it really ... when I as rode in Oz the majority of our group were females .. wasn't a big group but we had the odd (odd not odd) male dingbat who considered it more of a gang bang lol but even that didn't matter we were new riders so the focus wasn't on the dingbats at all ... the thing that got me more were non-riding females who assumed I wanted to ride to get men! and had no shame in making comments about it, fuck that with a steel barge pole I say.

[Bounce001]

Usually ride mostly with guys and have had this problem on the odd ride but not the majority. I have found the best way to shut them up is pass them!

[kerryhare]

Do ya recon she called him ?

No. sounds like an arse to me.

[2wheeldrifter]

I have the same problem F... must be my tight buns so I won't ride with males any more....................

[buellbabe]

Hiya Ratti :sunny:

Firstly I haven't read every single post cos my lunch break is nearly over so apologies if this has already been asked and answered...but I'm curious.

What did you say in response to the plonker who pointedly told you that 'its not a date' ???

My thoughts on that are that he has a pretty high opinion of himself!

Geez I have never encountered anything like it, in fact I have been on heaps of rides where the men conveniently forget that they have a partner. And I can tell ya that it sucks just as much, you feel really dumb being hit on by a seemingly nice guy only to have one of the other people on the ride tell ya later that 'Mr X' is married...grrr!

Maybe these guys you have been riding with have very possesive partners who have instructed them to make their marital/relationship status crystal clear to any single female??? Sure its natural to talk about your partner but to do so in a manner that makes another person feel like they have overstepped the mark is unnecessary.

If that ever happened to me I would ask the guy where on earth he got the crazy idea from that I was even remotely interested????

[Ratti]

Thanks goldgal. The tuesday learners group ride last night was great, 4 women turned up, we almost outnumbered the chaps. Was funny tho cos a couple of the guys were really worried and had the 'was it me?' "nah it was you wasnt it mate" 'Nah I reckon it was....." conversation.


hahaha matey just sounds like male ego .. me man type, woman know your place .. looky looky but no touch LOL don't pay any mind to it really ... when I as rode in Oz the majority of our group were females .. wasn't a big group but we had the odd (odd not odd) male dingbat who considered it more of a gang bang lol but even that didn't matter we were new riders so the focus wasn't on the dingbats at all ... the thing that got me more were non-riding females who assumed I wanted to ride to get men! and had no shame in making comments about it, fuck that with a steel barge pole I say.

Can't say Ive ever had any females accuse me of that. Maybe in my younger days it might have been true, not now tho'.


Usually ride mostly with guys and have had this problem on the odd ride but not the majority. I have found the best way to shut them up is pass them!
I wish! my poor ol' kwaka is up to the job, but my riding skills are pretty crap so passing is not an option right now. one day...

I was so stunned I didnt say anything sensible. I ride slow and I think slow..dammit! If someone can come up with a really good one liner to shoot the next twit down in flames, then please post it here.
Thanks for all the pm's and bling comments. For the edification of other riders, it happens a lot more often than I thought. I no longer feel like it was something I did, I seriously doubt it was anything to do with me at all. More their problem than mine.

[Crazy Steve]

Or your GAY or a LESO ? ?

Women cant ride for shit anyway.............So why bother, stay home and keep the kitchen clean...:)

[bittertwistedcute]

If someone can come up with a really good one liner to shoot the next twit down in flames, then please post it here.
I will hold back the "you listen when men speak?" comments ; )
"I've got a wife" = "do you share?" or "mine's hotter than yours" (disclaimer: only funny coming from a woman guys)
"This is not a date" = "Come to think of it you Do remind me of a dried up fruit" or "bugger, my rash has just cleared up and I am ready to go"

Don't take anyone seriously unless they have vital organs you need, or they know your PIN number....

Always carry gladwrap on rides, best thing for burns and it makes for a cute alternative to duct tape when people leak shite out 'their mouths

Ride safe

[Ratti]

gorgeous!
I love the gladwrap idea...I will take some next time and ask him to wrap his mouth cos shit is falling over my bike.
Or a nappy
Or some toilet paper to wipe his mouth after he's finished speaking

[Grubber]

or has this happend to other women?

I've been going along on regular rides with a couple of bunches of riders. By far the majority are males of various vintages. Several times I have had the riders pointedly making reference to their wives when it really wasnt part of the conversation. In one case, one of them felt needful to tell me outright that going out riding was in fact 'not a date'

What the fuck? I am riding with these folk because I like riding in a group and need the onroad time to improve my appalling skill level. NOT i repeat NOT to try and hook up with someone.

I was puzzled as to why they would feel the need to do this. Then I was mortified that I may have been doing something that would make them think I was interested in them rather than the riding. Now Im just plain f****n pissed off.

To the point where I am seriously considering not joining in anymore. FFS, I assume they are there to ride, what the hell makes them think they are so f****n attractive that I would be distracted from my desire to ride and overcome with desire for them?

Is it just that my startling resemblance to a old knobbly spud is so marked that they feel the need to say 'gross, I find you unattractive" Again that would come back to them having the unbelievable attitude that they are so attractive that I would fling myself at them. er...not even

Is this a common reaction from males toward us homely females? Can I assume the pretty ones don't get this type of reaction? Or is it just that they can't believe that a mature woman would be so keen on riding that she would actually be keen on riding?

What do you think is going on?
anyway, I feel better for having had a rant. Off to work.

Ok i'm a little lost here. What's the fuss about? It doesn't sound like anyone was hitting on anyone and it doesn't sound like the "not a date " statement had much merit either. So what are we discussing this for again?

[Grubber]

Why is it that when one plonker steps out of line, every other male is tarred with the same brush.

I have been going on group rides for a number of years with both male and female riders. I have mentioned my wife and family during conversation and have never assumed that some pretty face talking to me was in any way interested in me rather than the ride. (except Quazi of course who does have the hots for me:lol:.... Hi Carla, how ya doing. Haven't seen you for a while).



It amazes me how the, 'all males are like that' mentality immediately kicks in. I've got news for you.......NO WE ARE NOT.

Sounds like you are a bit lost with all this too big fella!

[crazyhorse]

Can't say I've ever experienced that - but have had trouble with the men accepting that I can ride better than the majority of them, and would be in top 3-4 in our group, on occassion even leading the rides. Some guys just can't handle a chick in front :rofl:

FFS - I can't bite my tongue on this...
Egos and riding style like yours have NO PLACE on public roads. Nobody cares how 'fast' you think you are. Nobody is impressed by your big-noting. Take your bullshit to the track. That is what tracks are for.

Truth be told she cant ride for shit. Yes, she can ride fast in a straight line (mmm nothing to do with the bike???), but on the corners all she does is hold us up because she can’t hold a line. Hell, I used to ride past her on the corners two up but now cant be bothered riding with this arrogant destructive person who has such a low self esteem she has to tell the whole world how good she is. Unbelievable!!!!!

Excuse me Sinny & Quasi......Is there room on the viewing couch for me? I can bring the good kind of snacks, hehehehehehe

Ratti i do believe this is just one of those times that maybe you should choose another group to ride with......They sound alittle on the "dickhead" side......I am generally the only chick when we ride down this way unless it's a big ride & they are a great bunch but then im the sort of person who tends to put people in their place when they are that disrespectful.....

MSTRS my dear man if i could golden bling then it would be going to you for sure........Your comment was so on the money i had to have a laugh.....first one of the day so thanks for that.....

Crazyhorse you are an IDIOT!!!!! Have you not noticed how it;s only you that blows your own trumpet? Gee i wounder why that is?

My thoughts .... feel free to add yours

[stormy1]

Ratti,

While I have had a bit of a rant over a post from a particular female rider (who shall remain nameless), I agree with Tart. There are plenty of us Males out there who just want to ride for the enjoyment of it, just like you. Sometimes sprited, sometimes not, but at the end of the day it is all about the ride with similar minded people. Sounds like you have been riding with a group of wankers.

My thoughts :lol:

As I used to be a local in that area, why would it be a surprise if the publican knew my name? And as for drinking and riding - I see no harm in 1 drink during a ride. I do not drink much at all - ever! A quick sprint if I am in the mood is up to me - but my post was regards to men riding and women riding in the same group..........

[crazyhorse]

Still some spaces left on the April 26 trackday at Manfeild.
You could do some demo laps for us at lunchtime... show the rest of us how it's done

I'd love to Pussy - be nice to meet you, unfortunately I have started a new job and cannot take the time off - but Manfield is certainly on my list of "to-do's" as I have done Taupo already.

[crazyhorse]

Truth be told she cant ride for shit. Yes, she can ride fast in a straight line (mmm nothing to do with the bike???), but on the corners all she does is hold us up because she can’t hold a line. Hell, I used to ride past her on the corners two up but now cant be bothered riding with this arrogant destructive person who has such a low self esteem she has to tell the whole world how good she is. Unbelievable!!!!!

This is such a rich comment from someone who has ridden with me only on two occassions - and someone who also made reference on this post in relation to not riding fast - and who has been reckless with their wife on the back too! I can corner as quick as the guys and this post was not about how fast or slow people ride, but why arrogant men like yourselves feel women should be on the back and not in the front of a group.

I have done many rides where I have not wanted to ride fast - and to hell with you lot who spout off that I cannot ride well, as that just confirms Ratti's post that men have attitudes where women riding are concerned. And you all need to check your man-hood, and cannot handle it - so lets just post up that she is useless and can't ride for shit !!
Frankly I do not give a rats arse to what you think. Nor do I care to ride with such narrow minded people. I've hardly even been riding as of late, but as you are so opinionated, go ahead..... spout off what ever you like :done:

Mmm no I think this has been more about the need for someone to have to tell the world what a great rider thay are, its sprinkled all through KB in numerous threads. Male or female, it doesnt really matter but people do get tired hearing about how great someone thinks they are, the rest of us .. we just quietly get about getting out there for the ride :yes:

[MSTRS]

... just confirms Ratti's post that men have attitudes where women riding are concerned. ...

Quite the contrary. Ratti's post that started this thread is about men's attitudes to women who ride - in the sense that women riders are often viewed as 'easy'. You know - up for it...go off like a rocket...enjoy making the beast with 2 backs...will fuck anything in trousers.
Her post had nothing to do with attitudes towards riding itself. Either men's or women's.
Nobody cares if you're fast, slow or in between. But everyone is sick of hearing from you about how fast you are. And how there's so few for you to ride with.
And yet, every time someone 'challenges' you to do a trackday or somesuch, you have a reason (which is seen as an excuse) why you can't.
Most of us don't want to say anything to (really) upset you, but we've had enough. We're telling you - we don't want to hear it anymore.

See you soon!

You're so quick that, you have been known to just fuck off leave those behind in your wake....:innocent:

I've met plenty of female riders with HUGE attitudes intent on proving just how much better they are than me... (since my modern bike is 30 years old that not exactly difficult) and I'm a silly old man intent on being an olderer old man... In general I tend to give female riders a very wide berth until we get to know them.. (exceptions for those who know who they are ;-))

WE yes WE because often the gorgeous Victoria rides with me pillion and usually she ends up getting a lecture about riding her own bike blah blah blah ... Shes GOT her own bike waiting for her to want to learn but we like riding together... We've been married 30 years and we still like each other but some strumpet thats been 3 times divorced still told me off for 'making' Vicki ride on the back???

Ratti i do believe this is just one of those times that maybe you should choose another group to ride with......They sound alittle on the "dickhead" side......I am generally the only chick when we ride down this way unless it's a big ride & they are a great bunch but then im the sort of person who tends to put people in their place when they are that disrespectful.....

MSTRS my dear man if i could golden bling then it would be going to you for sure........Your comment was so on the money i had to have a laugh.....first one of the day so thanks for that.....

Crazyhorse you are an IDIOT!!!!! Have you not noticed how it;s only you that blows your own trumpet? Gee i wounder why that is? If you think your that bloody awsum on the road how about doing what MSTRS said.....Take it too the track.....Whats that i hear???? Oh you don't want to cuz you will be showen up for the twat we all know you are?

Ok i wasn't going to reply to this as it was best left untouched i thought.....then i thought again.
Well done Coffeejunkie!
Often we hear the long winded BS that people come up with as to their devastating riding ability and when you come along side they are often lacking some major skills.
I like riding with people who are quiet and unassuming about their abilities but ride confidently anyway.
Gloaters get nothin from me. Correct, there is a track near all of us that can be used with that sort of attitude. Thats if ya up for it of coarse!

Jeez Drongos like this get me wired up sometimes.

Wow, thats a huge post from you !

Usually its a " Yep what she said" post 2 minutes after the Madnag has said something else stupid

Is that what the nag told you you say? or did you think it up all by yourself?

Can you two clowns please post were you are going to ride to if you ever get off the keyboard?

Be nice to know which roads to avoid so we dont get taken out by your dangerous riding and avoid picking up the pieces when you wipe out

I hear ya re the comment about yr lady preferring to pillion than ride ! Heidi and i are in the same position where she enjoys the closeness that riding together on the one bike brings (funnily enough she has made comment that she likes the speed three more than the fxr ahhhh grasshopper !)
She's been elligable to sit her full for over 6 months but still aint got round to it, cause she knows i'll drag her out, test riding bikes for her straight away and i don't really think she feels ready or even wants to ride her own ride !

Top marks to all the pilion riders. Even though i love riding my own ride, thare is also something rather special about snuggling into a warm back, on a fast ride with someone you trust

Yep. And yep. About where I came in...
And this is precisely why CH is finding a diminishing group to ride with. It's got nothing to do with her (self-proclaimed godlike) speed. Most of the 'fast' riders I know can and do leave her for dead (even on bikes with half the power of the GSXR thou). But those riders also know it's not a competition on the road, so they take it to the track these days. Where they find that egos ALSO have no place.

[Ratti]

heck..turn my back for a moment and it all hits the fan! woohoo! love it folks, nothing like a healthy bit of venting to clear the air. To those who have pm'd me to apologise for hijaking the thread, Go for it Ladies- Ratti does not mind one little bit.



Well Ratti, 127 replies later......"is it only you".....What do you reckon now? :confused:

I reckon there is still a lot of male/female competition to be sorted yet. SOME men who are not comfortable with having women on bikes, SOME women who need to prove themselves against men. Just goes to show how caught up in the bloody mindless gender game SOME folk still are. I'd suggest getting over it and just doing what you like to do cos you like to do it.


Ratti, While I have had a bit of a rant over a post from a particular female rider (who shall remain nameless), I agree with Tart. There are plenty of Males out there who just want to ride for the enjoyment of it, just like you. Sometimes sprited, sometimes not, but at the end of the day it is all about the ride with similar minded people. Sounds like you have been riding with a group of wankers.

My thoughts :lol:

Not really. Most of them are really neat, only the occasional one who has lost the plot temporarily.


Quite the contrary. Ratti's post that started this thread is about men's attitudes to women who ride - in the sense that women riders are often viewed as 'easy'. You know - up for it...go off like a rocket...enjoy making the beast with 2 backs...will fuck anything in trousers.

And THAT is surely the point of riding? You are obviously one of the majority who ride for the sheer fun of it. which is my one and only reason for choosing this particular addiction


Top marks to all the pilion riders. Even though i love riding my own ride, thare is also something rather special about snuggling into a warm back, on a fast ride with someone you trust
Nothing like it indeed, a warm body between your knees, thrill of a being with a better rider than me
But its that trust thing that is so hard to find. There are so many who claim this and that,but the riders I would pillion with are few and far between. In fact I only know of one and he is a quiet type you would never notice in a crowd. But widely acknowledged in his circle as the best rider in the bunch.

This thread has taken an interesting turn. Personal attacks aside, there are some pertinent points being made.

[MSTRS]

So you got that then?

I think she has been scared off this thread. 27hours without replying to a thread that she was involved in. That cannot be accidental for somebody that lives on this site.

She'll pop up again in some other thread, though. She won't be gone for good. One can only hope that her 'return' is accompanied by a change in behaviour.

I've observed that it seems more ALLOWED/ACCEPTED for males to be noters....whereas females get heaps of shit for it. So much hipocracy and double standards on here it's quite fucking sad really.

tho she has never tried.

ratti,shrug it off,shite happens,
just get out there and enjoy yourself,
we can't get along with everyone.

[Morepower]

Truth be told she cant ride for shit. Yes, she can ride fast in a straight line (mmm nothing to do with the bike???), but on the corners all she does is hold us up because she can’t hold a line. Hell, I used to ride past her on the corners two up but now cant be bothered riding with this arrogant destructive person who has such a low self esteem she has to tell the whole world how good she is. Unbelievable!!!!!

FFS guys , this goes out to MSTRS , Tart, RD Jase as well , I just don't know how to multi quote but I am sure you will all see this .
You Guys all know me and we all get along fine ( at least face to face ). I don't spend much time on here , too much to do getting on with life, working and riding so I have not seen every post.

However whats with this getting personal stuff , do you guys all PM each other to come and have a go at Crazyhorse. Having an opinion about riding and speed etc is all very well but this stuff is taking it to a very personal level on a public forum ,
Calling someone arrogant , destructive , low self esteem etc , and using the term Nag is just childish name calling.

Very disappointing

I am quite disappointed , any of you are welcome take me to task , but face to face .

I,m with Morepower ( in every sense) Dave on this one. Tough day at the office and all that ...jump on KB for some enlightened mumble and Whammo! this shit, now I'm so fucking depressed I might go and buy one of those Korean Higho sungs...maybe even splash out and get the GT RR and so on 250 model .That might just make me more more depressed than reading the above ramblings. I tell you what if anybody on this site thinks they have it bad...I mean really bad !! ......they want to meet the #@*&%'s ( words that are suitably descriptive enough haven't been invented yet) that I have to ride with. Some days I wonder why the hell I do it ? Anyway you catch my drift, keep it light team there is a lot of fun to be had out there and I would hate to see anyone miss it cause there heads are there arses.

Dave,

I am posting this not PMing you just to keep things out in the open. Yes you have taken umbridge to my personal comment, that is your perogative, but if you think about it all that has happnd is that CH's arrogant post (#110) was the straw that broke a lot of camels backs! One post to many on how great she is and how men cant handle etc etc etc (the reference to "if you cant handle the jandal" type thing just got up my goat). CH isnt a bad rider, but she isnt great. She can ride fast but she does struggle in the twisty bits, running wide, cant keep an even line or pace etc so she needs to eat a bit of humble pie and stop trying to tell the world how great she is.

Prehaps it is a man thing, but if a bloke kept proclaiming to the world how great a rider he was, then everyone would soon get sick of it and start thinking what a wanker he was. Does CH want to be treated differently?


No doubt we will have a chnce to catch up with each other on the road some time and have a chat.

Cheers

Good on you for playing the 'peacemaker'. We would all like to just get on with each other, on and off the forum/road/track/whatever. My response to post #110 MAY have been a little strong, but it said what I've been thinking for a long time. It dealt with her attitude (on here, anyway, since I've only ridden with her once many years ago). Have a squizz at my post #141...it should show that no malice is intended.

KB'rs???

what I see happening is like what happens in my chook run from time to time.
There is a group that feels the need to know where they are in the pecking order. So away they go flapping, pecking and generally asserting themselves. Meanwhile the other chooks are quietly eating bugs and getting on with their chooky lives. While the squabble may catch the attention of the other birds for a time, they quickly loose interest and let the wee bantys get on with sorting themselves out.

I see the factions developing here and in other threads. I suggest not letting it bother you if you are so inclined, but dive on in if you are of the type that needs it. All sorts of interesting things happening in the chook house!


p.s I have a degree in psych and education, can you tell? lol

Prehaps it is a man thing, but if a bloke kept proclaiming to the world how great a rider he was, then everyone would soon get sick of it and start thinking what a wanker he was. Does CH want to be treated differently?




I have to agree with you on this one. Perhaps there is some truth as to female bikers being treated diferently (isnt that what this thread started life as?)
From my experiances of riding with you guys (yes i know i havnt been out on the road for ages) and reading posts on this site - I have to conclude that female bikers are treated differently, If a bloke had started turning up on rides and had her attitude and was posting the sort of drivel that we have all seen on this site, he would have been told what to do in just two words by any number of us. CH is enjoying quite easy treatment by comparison.

Just my opinion.

[Number One]

There's being told to fuck off and then there's character assination....I think being told to fuck off is far more 'easy treatment' than what seems to be going on in many festering little pooh pockets on KB at the moment.

Most of the guys who are cocks just get told to fuck off and are then basically ignored females in the same position are hounded and end up having their whole character and values systems judged and comments about their 'worthiness or lack there of' thrown about, much is assumed, over analysed and dramatised.

:sherlock: If we don't like someone can we not just choose to ignore them? All these bloody online shit fights just look like stupid schoolkid scuffles for domination in the playground with a few more naughty words thrown in. :calm:

Actually, what needed to be said...has been said...and that said, we need to move on. CH posting what she did and in this thread to boot, 'allowed' the opportunity for some home truths that may have been hurtful, but were no less valid for it. Hopefully some needed lessons were learned, everyone knows where they stand and that can be an end of it?

Hes taken the bloody foot pegs off . im gunna offer him a ride on my bike with one cuddly condition

[Ratti]

and its not so bad on the back of a bike either

ahem

[Edbear]

Yeah, I just can't handle the thought of Cam in a skirt, maybe a kilt..?

[allycatz]

[Quasi]

:rofl: ratti, ratti, ratti - get that machine of yours fixed soon. we need you on our gal rides

[Ratti]

Thanks Kitten
The menfolk of Welly will be pleased to hear that Ratti is off the road for a time.
tis ok, im sussing out an alternative and may well be back sooner than anticipated

[2wheeldrifter]

Aren't you riding that Italian stallion?

[Quasi]

Aren't you riding that Italian stallion?

ride it to the red.....i mean yella.

My Italian keeps me well satisfied

[Ratti]

yup. Cept it turns out he is a drag queen and his name is Ducky. Was away on a BFTP rally this weekend and DUcky was loving having the menfolk poking around him!:love:

Tell you what tho, it is way cool fanging it past other bikes on a scoot.:bye: he will comfortably do 140 in a straight line. have to slow down to 100-120 for gentle corners. Then on the twistys he falls apart and handles like the scoot he really is.:scooter: O well, a scoot with the heart of a stalliion- or is that a cougar?

Its a fun ride within the limits of the bike and that is all I need really. Looks like my hubbys sons have backed off a tad and are not going to go after my zeds. So I may well have a rebuilt zed back on the road in time for summer. :soon:fingers crossed for me folks!

[2wheeldrifter]

Hmmmm me too... in the sense of riding a bike :)

[MSTRS]

We were only poking it because we didn't know what it was. And it's what you do to check for signs of life...
Great news re Zeds.

[Ratti]

rubbish Mstrs...you were trying to work out how to swipe the electric center stand and fit in onto Bella. Once you had stopped laughing that is!

Thanks, I am really relieved about zeds too. Have been having a lot of sleepless nights in regards our home and the bikes. Got to the point I was willing to walk away from my home just for the sake of my sanity. They had a fight coming for the zeds tho. sod it, a house is just a house. But those zeds are my babies and I've waited over 20 years for them.
