Here's why....

The allure of the biker guy
By Amy Keyishian

We’ve all heard that women want a guy who’s tall, dark and handsome. But maybe it’s time to update that to “tall, dark and handsome—and on a Harley.” Because it seems that since the days of the flicks The Wild One and Easy Rider, a guy on a bike has held a special kind of bad-boy appeal. In fact, in a recent Match.com survey, “motorcycle” was the second most-popular term that women used when searching through online profiles.

So we decided to see why it is that a two-wheeled scream machine ranks so high. Dr. Kate Wachs, a Chicago psychologist and the author of Relationships for Dummies, says, "Motorcycles are still perceived as rebellious, tough, and strong—but, unlike in the past, they're now much more socially acceptable." Like tattoos, motorcycles are often the hidden fun-factor in otherwise respectable citizens. Here, the full story on their allure.

Guys with motorcycles have a little extra oomph.
There's no doubt about it: A motorcycle signifies a little extra ingredient in a guy—a little extra testosterone in a world of sensitive men. Hey, sensitive metrosexuals are great, but some women still like a little cave with their man. "A man on a bike exudes independence, self-reliance, and fearlessness," explains Michelle Midyette of Santa Fe. "He has nothing but leather between him and certain harm—clearly, he freely embraces risks and has a lust for life." Yes, that rebel vibe can work its magic.

But of course, this little extra oomph can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, he's more masculine than the average pencil-pusher; on the other hand, "you need the tough-boy exterior balanced by a kinder, softer side when you're off his ride," observes Dennie Hughes, relationship columnist at USA Today and author of Dateworthy: Get the Relationship You Want. No problem, says Midyette: "Almost all the bikers I've ever known — and I make sure to introduce myself to most that cross my path — have been sweet, big-hearted, intelligent men.”

Guys with motorcycles offer instant invigoration.
Riding along on a bike, you can feel of the wind in your... er, helmets, which makes a lot of women swoon. "I don't care if it's raining, snowing, whatever—if I am in a bad mood and my biker says 'get your leathers on,' and five minutes later I'm catching the wind, that's always a mood-booster," says Georgia Tillery of Ocean Beach, CA. "There's nothing like that kind of wind blowing in my face—even the dirt in my pores and the occasional bug in my teeth is worth it," agrees Christine Hall of Carlsbad, CA.

Guys with motorcycles thrive on spontaneity.
A guy with a bike is no doubt the sort of fella who’s likely to say, “Let’s go for a ride” on the spur of the moment. If the mood strikes to head for the hills, the seashore, or anywhere else, he’s likely to seize the moment on his bike. And he’ll take his date along for the fun. "With a motorcycle, you're guaranteed two things: Speed and convenience," says Mark Byron of Los Angeles, so you can go wherever your whim and wheels want to take you. Another benefit: "It's a lot easier to find parking close to a restaurant," points out Max Perez of San Francisco—making dinners out all the more convenient.

Guys with motorcycles are the only match for ...girls with motorcycles!
Of course, tons of women have motorcycles themselves and are avid riders—and that's why they search for biker guys: To complement their sassy self-image. "Of course I have to search for a guy with a bike," says JoMarie Spagnola of Atlanta, GA. "Who else is going to keep up with me on my 2001 Yamaha V-Star?" Just remember this, says Hughes: "Between two motors, the wind, and neither of you wanting to get too distracted from the road, motorcycle riding doesn't exactly make for meaningful conversation." Make sure you've got other things in common besides four-stroke engines, otherwise you might be headed for a relationship ditch.

Guys with motorcycles make even the most empowered women feel girly.
In this day and age, women are the masters of our own destiny. No longer do we look to men for power, permission, or affirmation. And as great as that is, there's a part of many of us that likes to be a li'l lady once in a while. "The back of my guy's bike is the only place I'll let a man (literally) take the front seat. I’ll give up my independent power to wrap my hands around his middle and put my trust in him for just that small while," says Amy Kaye of Brooklyn, NY. "It's a little taste of being old-fashioned. That's a great feeling—at least for a little while.”

Dating a biker dude gives a woman an excuse to tap her wild side.
If you’ve ever wondered about what your bad-girl side would look like, this is the opportunity to find out. Surely you won’t be hopping on the back of a Harley in a camisole, prairie skirt and heels. Nope, this is your chance to shine in jeans, boots—and whatever black leather is lurking in your closet. None to be found? No worries! Anything casual will do the trick. Notes Vin Amendola, a guy with a bike in Middle Village, NY: "At any age, a woman looks sexy and rebellious on a bike—even if, in real life, she just dropped off the kids off at soccer practice."

Of course, some women don't dig the biker thing at all. "To tell you the truth… I'd rather date a guy with a convertible," says Dale Chestnut of Albany, NY. "No helmet required, and you can drink coffee and wear short skirts." To which we say: Doll, you're born to be mild.

Harleys not my ride either. Too common for starters. But each too their own and if they ride two wheels I'll join 'em if invited. If not their loss.

Chicks on wheels. Just love em. Any guy who thinks they only belong on the pillion has a problem with their testorone levels.


Skyryder...................rides a drake.

Hey, at least you can admit it ;)

There is nothing wrong with a woman who enjoys a bit of power between her legs :devil2:

[Storm]

His bike is red which means it must be faster than yours by the feminine rules :bleh:

[Qkchk]

oh yes, let's not forget that red is faster :scooter:

[Bonez]

Hey, at least you can admit it ;)

There is nothing wrong with a woman who enjoys a bit of power between her legs :devil2:I guess the added advantage of a suction cup helps keep one on at 340 kph :innocent:

[HDTboy]

Yes, turn the oven to high and climb in

[Sniper]

ooooooowww

[Silage]

If only I knew how ....

[James Deuce]

If only I knew how ....

I used to be able to knit. I made myself a jersey, a scarf, and a hat for my first skiing trip when I was 8. Buggered if I can remember how though. The only casting off I do now is trolling in here!

[HDTboy]

BTW there's a fee for successful matches you know...:devil2:
You should be so lucky

[Hitcher]

If your mother made you a poof, if I bought the wool, would she make me one too?

[Skunk]

BTW what do guys think about chicks on bikes?She was so good I married her.

[Hitcher]

She was so good I married her.
And vice versa...

[HDTboy]

And vice versa...
What? You were so good, he married you?

[Hitcher]

There are few secrets amongst Kiwibikers...

[Skunk]

IIIIIII knew it...........I knew it...I knew it...I knew it...III knew it!!!

[Beemer]

I knit (husband has a lovely jersey to prove this), I cook (leathers are a bit snug, proves that too) and I have two bikes - does this make me kewl?

Oh, and I buy said husband motorcycle accessories - helmet, bike stand (for his dirt bikes), etc. Therefore I must be a godess too...

Me too, it took a bit of a 'con' but the: horny/dumb/bright/horny/inlelligent/horny/ex-schoolgirl/horny/drinking/sneaky woman was 'conned' into getting married to me. :niceone: :D

That'll be Mitch then - AND she's babe-riffic.

Mitch and Flame would both give you a go I reckon.

The first retort that came to mind is un-gallant so I shall just agree.

[Gremlin]

I notice that most of the younger guys are all still looking (me too, me too) after all, wasn't that part of the deal when we became bikers??

Hot chick, rides a sportsbike (or whatever you want) and looks good in leather, add the other usuals (cooking etc.)

Apparently there is a ?Man Drought? (On a show last night) where there is a heap of excess women... WhereTF are they all?? :oi-grr:

Sorry to disappoint you, but if my story is anything to go by, you'll be waiting a long time for the perfect partner to come along! All through my teens and 20s I loved bikes and would happily have been someone's pillion passenger. Men were pretty thin on the ground then as well as today!

I met my husband when I was 37 - about 10 years after I had all but given up hope of finding a decent bloke! We clicked straight away, were both into bikes (I was riding by then) and now we're living happily ever after. Maybe you'll do better than me because you're into bikes at a younger age - but then my husband has been riding since he was in his 20s and he hadn't had much luck finding the right woman - until I came along!

The weird thing is, most of the single people I know are normal, attractive, sociable people who are also intelligent and good company. Don't know what the answer is - my friends never came up with any potential mates, I ended up meeting my man at a WIMA rally!

The problem is that we want the perfect package.

Man-on-a-bike has to be able to quote things from movies/literature/lyrics as well as know all about engines etc. It helps if they have sufficient brain power to keep up with me, and sufficient intellect to make me laugh. Oh - and if they'll put up with my idiosyncracies, then all the better (eg. I hate it when people brush cotton with their skin repeatedly...it sends (bad) shivers up my spine!).

Thankfully, this man drought has not affected me personally...but then again...I'm picky for a partner, (apparently) less discriminating for a partner-in-crime! :)

Nomes (who unfortunately wears all-over cordura so therefore isn't likely to inspire anatomic architecture on her little ol' gn!)

Pobody's nerfect ..........

[Wolf]

I fully agree with the spontaneity mentioned in the article, I'm naturally spontaneous (tempered a bit by the cubs) and love the additional freedom to just "go for a ride" that a bike affords.

Chicks riding bikes: Yep, all for it. Always feel pleased when I see a chick riding a bike - even more so if it's a decent, powerful, bike - it's a "good on ya for not being bland and timid" kind of feeling.

I fully support Juliet's aspirations to join the ranks of riders, would be equally supportive if we had a daughter of an age where she wanted to ride bikes.

I have actively encouraged the lass who lives down the road from us, whom I see each morning when we catch the bus, to go for her motorbike licence. She's been practising riding out on a farm and really enjoying it - one more of us, one less potential "cager".

[Lou Girardin]

The problem is that we want the perfect package.



And yet, when a man only wants a perfect package he's shallow and sexist. And probably a dirty old man to boot. :devil2:

[Fart]

Chicks on bikes are a very good thing


Especially a hot chick on a hot bike topless with a pair of "G" string panties rubbing her lesbian girlfriend !.... wake up !!!... sorry guys got carried away... :Punk: :clap: :rofl:

[Eurygnomes]

And yet, when a man only wants a perfect package he's shallow and sexist. And probably a dirty old man to boot. :devil2:

Nope. Just an optimist. I reckon optimism and opportunity decrease proportionally to age, but inversely to bank balance! :)

Besides which Lou, what's perfect for me might not be perfect for, say, MSTriumph or any of the other chicks on here! And that, my dears, is the glorious thing about human nature. :notworthy:

[Lou Girardin]

Whereas, the perfect woman seems pretty well universal. Apart from hair colour perhaps.
Judging from the celebrity trophy wives that is.

[mstriumph]

trophies are, by their very nature, static dust collectors ..................... trust me, watever I [and the kb sisterhood here] determine as 'perfect' CERTAINLY won't be gatherin no dust :love:

Holy shit! Thats not what you normally meet at a WIMA rally! :whistle:

True, true, C.B. makes sure no dust ever gathers on me so I suppose in her eyes I'm perfect! Only the rest of the world to convince of that now :rofl:

[mstriumph]

Ok, since everyone is begging me to say ........... i think [and 'tis only one woman's opinion] that the same skills used to ride well ... ie focus, touch, control, balance [especially the interplay of thigh muscles, buttocks ....erm - is it getting warm in here? but i digress . :o .. ], timing, awareness, anticipation, determination ...... etc., are also pretty useful in other situations...

and women who are attracted to bikers have enough imagination to see/be turned on by the parallel......:rolleyes:

[zadok]

mstriumph, what is this '8 weeks and counting'? Going somewhere?

[mstriumph]

not necessarily - what makes you say that?
