Sometimes you just need to show your tolerance by humouring them - if you're doing your job properly they will realise that you don't need their advice. If they're offering to be helpful just let them know that "hey guys, appreciate it but all's good here" (even if you don't appreciate it). Sounds more diplomatic than throwing it back in their face. Chill about it. Maybe they are wanting to be helpful rather than condescending; motive should influence your reaction in my opinion.
Same with your bike. When we move in on a territory that men feel at home in they can feel threatened. Ignore the wankers, get along with the ones who are trying to work as a team with you.

Clearly some women still haven't evolved to the point where they can take constructive advice without instantly misinterpreting it as either "I want to stick my dick in you" or "you're a silly bint that doesn't know what she's doing".

If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

The best bit of backing i have seen was a C train (truck and trailer) come down our track during harvest. because of the fact we already had 2 trucks in there was no room for him to turn he just swore then backed out again. Close on 1km of backing including 2 90 digree bends.
He did it first time, no hesitation and only knocked one dead man over, it was amazing (the dead man was a cunt)

I used to order around blokes on diggers as big as 30 tonnes, no problem. A hard hat and a pair of steel cap boots on a woman is a licence for many things

Cause I drive a cat powered truck ....Im a man so does that make it a mans domain....ooops just realised transport companies all over new zealand have cat powered trucks with women drivers.......guess it doesnt.
But good on you Geestring...I have problems with a pc120 let alone a 220 cat digger.

If I am ever given advice doing my job its by a woman. Most men see what I do and relise its out of there league to make comment. But a housewife will question how Im doing things and she wouldnt know what end of a chainsaw to hold.

haha, just ignore them... guys will always be guys
I don't tend to get tips, but more the comment of my bike is a big bike... with a look suggesting its too big for me, or the comment that its a big bike for a girl! but in reality i only ride a little GSXR 600... so its a fact, guys know nothing! (sorry guys!)
Whip it, whip it good!
You operate a digger
Fuck 'em is my advice, if they keep it up, dump a load of dirt on them
Seriously though, I reckon any bloke that wants to tell you how to do your job is jealous of you for a start, other than that it would be a clumsy attempt to get to know you better. Own it sista! You drive a digger!
Somewhere out there...
For me working at a port I've found most of the guys mean well and genuinely just want to see me do well. I've only have a couple there who are truely condescending (one of them being one of the team leaders)... I try to avoid them mostly cos I just can't be fucked dealing with them.
And for the few on here who say most/all guys are good there is also the issue of males who do just wanna get in the knickers. Unfortunately for me they just ain't the right kind of guy for me....Such a waste......

Double shot!!
Why do you think it's about you? Men often stop and talk with each other about how things can be done. There's always some new and interesting way to look at the job at hand, and it's good social time wondering out loud about things and swapping technical tips and approaches, especially in machinery such as diggers.
What does surprise men, is when we talk this way with women and get black looks or pissed-off replies.
