Screw what people think of you and what they say, if your on your bike and your having fun... fuck them!

"What others think of you is none of your damned business" - a favourite saying of mine.

yeah my closest friend always says "If you dont like it - then dont look..."

Damn I wish I was as tough as her...

yeah my closest friend always says "If you dont like it - then dont look..."

...but some of my most amasing times have been when I couldn't stop looking...

[LilSel]

spot on MDU/Joni!!

It doesn't bother me what people have to say etc...
I just smile, even if it was a nasty verbal attack. Only person it is affecting at the end of the day is the person spouting it.

....and some that are tri

Of course - being in New Zealand 'Tri' is in fact a preference - men/women/livestock - must be why The_Dover likes it here so much - same kind of outlook as the North Sea Islands...

I haven't been able to ride in town on a bike yet, but all the guys at youth group who are my age think it's awsome... most think it's hot and all of them know me too well to think I was at all gay or butch for it. I know most of their parents will be terrified when they see me ride to youth group for the first time on my bike a moment I'm really looking forward to!! Just watching the parents jaws drop hehe, esp. as I'll be in leathers and not cordura.

But I totally agree with basically every one else who has posted on here.... who cares what other people think?

Ride because you love it , not because of what other (small minded) people think

That'd be me then....

I thought at the moment you were asexual?

I learnt in Psych101 a few years ago (yes - the paper EVERYONE does) that everyone is gay or could be gay.... something like that anyway. I guess its whatever the word "gay" is defined as maybe??? (its a theory)

One of the reason's I hadn’t learnt to ride yet, was the perception it would give to others. I haven’t had any other neg. comments about it being butch, and I don’t think I could ever be taken for being butch. But to be perfectly honest I don’t care what other people think at this point in my life, I am doing it for me, not anyone else.

You arnt the 1st chick to mention this... I have never seen the attitude in 20+ years of riding...

Ditto... I've been riding for 20yrs and have NEVER had any bloke think I was a 'dyke on a bike', infact when I first joined the Harley scene I only knew a couple of other chicks who were riding and we were treated with total respect by all the guys (still are).
I will always remember my first visit to the Puhoi Pub (4 u southerners, thats the Fav Biker pub just north of Auck). In those days anything Japanese was frowned on and the clientele was decidedly rough. No sooner had I gotten off my bike and barely got my helmet off when a scary looking biker came over and introduced himself and said "bloody good to see a lady riding... girls on bikes are hot!"

I did Phsyc 101 a long, long time ago. Still shit? Sorry but riding a bike is just riding a bike. Nothing special. Doesn't make you gay, bad, or whatever.

There's possibly something about having over 150kg of throbbing power between your thighs that transcends sexuality I would have thought - something gays and straights alike can enjoy and often discuss over a pint or two.

Before I rode a motorbike I had no such preconceptions - surprised they exist.

Also in the UK it's predominantly doctors/accountants/bank managers/stockbrokers etc that ride motorcycles because the insurance and running costs put them out of reach of most of the population so I'd always seen that motorcyclists were very rich people.
