You're a chick so you must ride a scooter

[bert_is_evil]

just take the piss: 'Yeah, do you sell those clips that hold your skirt together so people can't see yer kinckers while you're riding?'

Fantastic, I love it - gonna keep that one handy

I was mortified when the guy at the petrol station called me sir before I took off my helmet

That happened to me once so I said "madam actually" jokingly to the guy - he got so embarrassed he went on the defence and told me off for wearing my helmet inside . That'll teach me!

Don't let it worry you. What annoys me is people assume I must be on a little cruiser but I sniggar to myself having seen their supprised faces when they see what this hobbit is on.

Waiting for Pink Hog Girl to arrive at fav' watering hole one sunday arvo, she finally turns on her pink sporty. Some of the bushwacking locals were looking at the bike and commenting on it as she pulled up, she got off, ( at this satge you can see she is a chick, men aint shaped that way) took off her helmet and all this blondeish hair bounced around and the one of the 7 digit locals said '' oh, its a chick''!!... Maha shakes his head....( #1 its a Pink Harley you wankers) bit of a give away really...

Why is it that guys who don't ride instantly assume when they find out you do that you must ride a scooter? It really gets my goat - am I justified or should I just get over it?

Don't worry about it they're probably just guessing safe. I used to have a scooter and people would see the helmet and ask what bike you ride? and it's 'yeah, um, I have a scooter.. it's really fast though!!' (not knocking the scooters of course!!)

[MotoGirl]

My work had three men who rode scooters and me who rode a real bike. Every time someone new started, they'd see the helmets and automatically assume that I owned one of the scooters. Used to piss me right off!

Some of the bushwacking locals ........

Hmmm well that kinda sums it up dont it Mr Maha....I wount tell anyone there what you just called them.

Got a FXR as a loaner bike while the SV was getting serviced. The boys at work were going to lift it with the forkhoist onto a contanier....then decided against it. We are pretty scary us biker chicks I tell you

there is a lady i have seen on a couple of occasions, she's about 5ft something. I would have thought her to be riding a virago or something similar with a low seat height... her choice of bike - a Hayabusa. It just doesn't look right.

But then they do design most bikes for 50kg little asian people.

[buellbabe]

????????

What the ?

NEVER EVER has anyone assumed that about me...altho they are usually surprised that I ride a big thundering twin! My experience of non-riders has usually been that they are really curious and admiring, nothing wrong with that I say!

I reckon... so what if someone makes a stoopid assumption, just enjoy the astounded look on their face when they see what ya ARE riding... LOL

[kiwifruit]

i get it all the time... should see there faces when i jump on the zx10 and tootle off down the road, haha

I think a Hayabusa is a damn nice choice of bike!

Well my wife is about 5'1"/42kg and gets asked for ID when buying wine at the supermarket. No doubt she will raise some eyebrows riding her SV1000 when we move back to NZ.

Since my mb accident in april Ive had countless appointments with loads of people. Eveytime they ask me how I came to get my injuries. I say motorbike accident. "Oh, were you riding a scooter?" to which I answered "NO", then the next comment is usually "Oh you were on the back, a pillion passenger?" I can laugh off the every now and then dumbass comments, but im not shitting you when I have to explain this to every one of the surgeons and their registars...all the acc people and all the different theripists. On average I see 2 new theripist/surgeons/docs a week.

Get over it - i just like the whole :
"Your too young to know anything"
"Guys have no concept of pain"
"Pay you more, why should i pay you more if you don't do more work?"
"Men can't organize"
Don't take it as an insult - the glove has been thrown down - take up the challenge.
Repeat after me:
"I have a Yamaha Thunderace, its a 1000cc sport bike with more horsepower than your car, and a quicker zero-to-100 than a supercar"
Its a nice way to say, sit down and shut the fuck up little man
