door on the way out!!! yes please...and bring me back a fruju

Do we need a poll this sort of shit? We ride bikes FFS.

The poll question is a farken insult to anyone who has half a brain, any dignity, identity or independence - regardless if they are male or female.

Insult how? Surely someone with the intelligence, identity, and indepedence to be insulted, can elaboate on such a criptic statement.

For those of us with less of the afore mentioned atributes.

Yo Fizzle my man - if you believe yourself to have "less of the afore mentioned attributes" - what makes you think you are going to have a shit show in hell of understanding what I elaborate on?

Just as Guys need time out with their mates, so do Girls need time out with there friends. If they want to go riding together how is that different if they want to go shopping together??? Go Girls and have fun and remember its good for mental health.

whoever organizes a ride can decide who they want on it. If woman want to ride on their own then go for it.

I have told people before that I don't want them on the ashhurst rides. Just because of their reputation and it wasn't fitting with the way the group rides. Personally I don't know why woman need a ride of their own. Us guys aren't that bad but if they want to then go ahead.

Just cos I can..,....I am not "GOOD" (define good )ENOUGH to go on a thursday ride I am told But I was told "the guys are good at turning the bigger bikes around"Well HELLO thats why I have been weightlifting my daughter all these years ...So I can Help Hey I like GUYS but it is nice to have time with just the girls...

[Ralph]

Does it really matter if they do. I think the poll is speaking for it self quite well.
After all how many rides do we go on and there aren't any females there.

well being of the female gender, .. & new to riding .. I agree with riding who ever i wanted to ride with .. be it a blardy bunch of girls all PMSing at the same time with their handbags .. or boys who i know will leave me for dead .. but I would hope they are prepared to wait about a hour or so for me to catch up

but at the end of the day I ride my own ride, as long as i get there in one piece & have a damn good time then who farken cares .... at the end of the day biking is the winner !!!!!!!!!!!

[cowboyz]

its all bollocks. I dont think I have ever been on a ride where everyone stays together all of the time. Sometimes people get out in front. Sometimes people drop back behind. It doesn't matter. everyone gets there eventually.

Does the ride involve a sleepover with pillow fights?

Recent attempts by the ladies to publicly organise a girl only ride has attracted criticism from some male members.

This got me thinking. Is organising a girl only ride in open forums going against the spirit ok KB?
Or should they arrange these rides in secret, or go somewhere else to organise them?

What do you think?

i'm curious as to what brought this up......

the GCR Jill and I organised seemed to go off without a problem... and only funny stuff was the boys in jest talking about hanging out with so many girls.... we had no issues...

Now the girly ride i organised last year was a different story... i copped abusive PM's and a lot of red rep from certain members and intervention from mods was needed... and it made me seriously question my staying on KB... (at that time, i'm still here i guess) and human beings as a whole... it is 98% resolved now but i still dislike certain members for their words....

I believe this is an open forum for people to meet likeminded people... if we want to organise a girly ride.. we have just as much right as a dirtbiker or 250cc rider or a stunt night... i see no problem....
the comments and reports from our latest GCR were very positive and helped some shy ladies come out and have an awesome day with good company and are now more confident for it.... (plus it got a friend of mine on a bike for the first time and she loved it!!!)

so i think, let us girls go for coffee and you boys get off your criticising asses and organise yoru own rides unless your too lazy and all you can do is complain about others getting out there and riding....

According to the latest poll, this applies to 8 people! Eight is enough?

yup... in the '80's, three's company.. so 8's defiantely enough for a ride.... and i hope they enjoy their own company.....

[zeocen]

I can't even fathom why this would be an issue, and why rides concerning groups that you aren't part of would worry you so much?

I don't get bent out of shape because harley riders don't let me go on their rides... I struggle to see the difference. And shit, it's better they spend hours on the road than hours in the mall! At least for the wallets sake!
