Well. I'd just observe that the female sense of humour is definitly different from male sense of humour. I got an email from a female friend I thought was really funny, and it made me laugh, but every guy I showed it to just wrinkled their nose and said ugh, that's not funny.  Like guys have great sense of humour and I love their jokes and all, but women also have their own kind of humour. 

The point of difference is what makes it so interesting.

And women ride differently from guys.  Not better, not worse, not the same =

just differently. I've watched (flag marshall) a fair few circuits now, and women race more strategically.  

   Bugger the hairdryer, go for a ride. !!!

And while I'm in the mood to bitch, it's not always a positive experience belonging to a minority within a minority.  As if being a motorcyclist wasn't already a social passport to being a non-conforming weirdo and probably dangerous as well, being a female motorcyclist is viewed as being so far off the page it isn't anywhere in the book.

I get really hacked off at being typecast , or labelled or "maybe she's strange somehow" judgements from narrow little people who don't know what the hell they're judging.  They don't ride. They don't know how. No-one ever taught them. They never found out for themselves. And they have the bloody nerve to assume all sorts of things about me because I do ride and love it.

And that's only the non - riders. 

Some riders have chauvanistic attitudes too, although  the majority are open-minded and accepting. I've met and endured blokes who think that women ride motorcycles only because they want to meet a man, (or lots of men) or that you want to look tough, or prove that you're as good as a man, or have some ulterior motive somewhere. 

The fact that you ride because you want to, for its own sake, shoots right past them.

hay Mitch....i'll be behind ya!

Best fun i hear ya "The fact that you ride because you want to, for its own sake, shoots right past them."

and some dont understand that just maybe we understand how they work & maybe we fix them too


bugger the hairdryer attach a vibrator and ride..best of both worlds

[Mitch]

Ah BabyB I like the way you think!!! 

The most common one I get Bestfun is I must be gay (Bitch's on bikes thing)  Sometimes that can be a HUGE advantage, Some 'wanker' bloke comes up and voices his mear opinion about chicks on bikes being butch, just lower your voice a couple of octives and tell him to fuk off or you'll break his nose 

At least he isn't going to come onto you lol

BabyB are you coming down to Taupo Aug 10th for the last round??   Would be really good to see you there chick!!!

[mv.senna]

hey there best fun, i like your comment about girls riding differently to men.

i'm lucky enough to ride with a group that includes 2 other chicks, and another 2 who come along when their boys let them have the bikes LOL.

but i went for a ride with a guy-only group the other day, and i don't think i'll be asked back again.....i was too slow, as my objective is to get home in more or less the same state as i left; the boys seem to have a whole different idea!

speed is one thing, but i like to be objective about when i use it - ie appropriate to the conditions/surroundings....i think i'll stick with my usual group! LOL

jo

[babyB]

hay mitch hell yes im going...just hopin the licence arrives in time..be good to catch up ..hoovie got his own bike now trying to get it ready 4 taupo too (i wont have to share mine now.lol)

[Misssy]

Hey Girlies,

Boys should get over themselves if they think it is all wrong to see a chick on a bike.

Hope the weather picks up for this weekend. I will head down to Puke for a look on Saturday if it does so might see some of you there.

Over and out

Oh , they love to see a chick on a bike..... hehehe .....Like the porno star Spankme snapped on the back of the Hardley - chilly chested and still smiling...

BTW - Are those girls very crazy, very clever, or what?

And they're so skinny, where do they put their dinners?

Real Bikers gotta EAT

Hiya mv.senna, Yeah I've had a very similar experience, and came to much the same conclusion.

I'm getting more singular than ever these days.

The guys are too fast, the young 'uns are too fast, some women riders are newbies or returnees and too slow, some guys (usually on GoldWings) are too slow.

There's no one to ride with. WAILS    PITEOUSLY  lol

Re: Women's racing in NZ

I could be mistaken about it, but I've never seen a race in N Z just for

women's class. Maybe in off-road, but track ??????

Yeah, OK there's not many women racing.. A fact. But would there be more,

if there were women's classes?

OR, would women racers prefer to be in the men's class, so's to know the pace required to stay with the front runners?

My own opinion is that if I was racing, I'd prefer to be in a mixed men/women class. It'd be more satisfying to achieve against a mixed group. Even if you win consistently in a women's class, you'd still want to test yourself against the front runners in the men's class. What happens overseas where there's more women racers? Anyone know?

Any comments from those who do race?

I've only just noticed this forum, but had to snigger when I noticed that it only had 2 threads running, and not too many replies.

Those guys reckon we flap our jaws too much, and we appear to have proved them wrong!

I've always ridden with guys, with the odd other girl along too, but I've been riding solo for too many years now and find the riding-with-a-group experience not all that I remember. I recall doing a Boyd Honda ride round the lower Waikato a couple of summers ago and finding myself somewhere in the middle of the very spread out group, pretty much riding on my own.

I don't care what other people think, and have had no problems talking to other stray motorcyclists I meet during my nicotine stops, but that could just be my own forwardness. I find a smile as you take off your lid, and a comment about the day and/or the ride are enough to start conversation with any other biker.

  I agree. I do the same.

 Perhaps it's the social club thing that generates uncomfortable nuances ?

Yeah this is a crappy sub-section of the site. Mostly talking to myself and its all negative shit. I wondered why SpankMe wanted a women-only thread. Maybe kinda voyeuristic concept ? But it's gasping for life at the moment.

Women's stuff is so not cool just now. We're supposed to not need or want any separate anything these days.

hmmm, I remember being asked by a certain someone for a female forum.

If its not wanted and enough girls say so, I will remove it.

[Mitch]

LMAO  Be careful what you ask for girls cause you might get it

Bestfun I think mixed racing is better, there aren't the numbers to have seperate and even if there was, what for?  Once everyone has their leathers and lids on who can tell anyway.  PLUS  nothing is more fun then beating men at their own game YE-FUK-N-HA
