I remember discussing a women-only thread at the BBQ ..... some pros and cons were aired ......but don't remember actually asking for a women-only thread.

We were thinking aloud about why would anyone want one, weren't we?

 Hey SpankMe, can you grant us a few other wishes ? Just as quickly ?

Hmmm, what shall we ask for ?  What model, size, colour and make?

Haven't you got that the wrong way around?

Make, = Kawazaki !
Colour, = Green of course!
Size, = 250cc
Model, = Two stroke racer !!

O wait! I already have one of those!!


Maybe you meant this?

Model, = Elle
Size, =14D
Colour, = Blonde
Make, = Anything I want,,, But bacon and eggs is always a good start!

Hi Everyone - I'm a newby to this website so please be kind


I have read your thoughts - and they are quite interesting.

I race a sidecar and I'm the only female that rides one in NZ - my mother passengers for my father. So if our class had a race for women only - I would be sitting on the track with no passenger or anyone else to race with.

I also ride a Kawasaki ZX9R on the road. I must admit I get the sniggers and comments when I take my helmet off as well. Normally I just smile and the guys who have said comments or done the staring just get embarrased and look the other way.

My best one every was this morning - this guy was on his ZZR1100 getting his warrant done, the guy doing the testing just talked bout weather and blah blah blah - then testing guy came over to me and had the nerve to tell me that my bike was far to big for a pretty girl like me and that no man would ever be able to compete. I looked at this old fart and thought God what can I say - so quickly on my feet (as I normally am) I said to him - hey if there's a guy out there that doesn't feel threated (like you do) with me riding this then that's the one for me. He just stood there like a gimp. What a nerve to tell me that - I bet the guy with ZZR never got any comment like that.

Enough of that - I hope I can get to know some of you online and by the way - who lives in the South Island?? I ride with a group called Babes On Bikes - its totally cruisy, no fees, rules or anything just a bunch of chicks that get together every now and then and do rallies and drinkies at cafes. Talk about guys and bikes and the likes.

So imagine the sniggers when you tried to explain to a prospective partner your trying to find a swinger for the weekend. lol
All humour aside you must just be hanging in the wrong circles. I have heard the occasional snigger but its ussualy directed at me. And the women always beat me back. If people don't treat you fairly don't treat them fairly.

In Australia they have apparently run some very succesful woman only race days,thread and arguements about it here
http://www.mcnews.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=403

However they do have a far larger population base,while I think as an introduction to the sport it is a good idea I don' think there are enough women competing for it to be a viable idea.

[Skyryder]

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.

Yea that at about says it all. That we have one thing in common is all that is needed. As for woman riding to slow I would sooner have that than one that rides too fast...........and looses it.

I read somewhere that the fastest growing bike sales are for woman riders. I think it was to do witha the sports bike market.

Hey Gals,
Maybe us chicks are too busy out riding to post but, I'd love to chat with a few more of you. I've only met Lynda and she is great but it would be cool to hear from a few others.

I'm just a new rider (as well as a recently binned rider :confused2) and maybe I haven't been riding long enough to have encountered some of the crap you girls have had thrown at ya by some, out of date dorkus compensating for being limited in other areas, however I really admire you all and hope that I can be just as much of a capable rider when I get back on my little beast.

I've only ridden with boys so far & they've been great, no problems at all, they simply treat me like another rider. I'd like to go out with a few women though b/c chicks on bikes rock!! We do!

Had been Marshelling a 2-dayer at Puke and was having a few drinks with some of the riders at the end of the first day. Over heard a guy saying you had to have balls to ride the superbikes. I had been watching the racing all day. There was only one woman racing in the superbike class but she had been racing well and hard all day. I dryly turned to the "dick" who had made the "balls" comment and told him that the woman racing in the superbike class had f*cken big balls, but had only had a bad case of tank slap (shifting her "balls" into her chest). We all laughed and he didn't put women bikers down after that.

In my bike club we have also recently voted in a women for the job of club pressy. One male has had to be told that if he cann't handle that, then he can find a new club to belong. He couldn't haddle riding behind a women (just another stupid "dick").

Like horse riding (the only Olympic sport to have women and men competing against each other) there is no physical advantage with sex when it comes to competing on bikes. The soon some men (and a few women as well) get that in to their heads the better. It is good to have sports where men and women can compete as equals. Bring it on.

[Two Smoker]

I agree RiderInBlack, let the riding skill of the riderspeak for itself rather than the sex of the rider.... Those "dicks" are probably jealous of the female riders being better than them, i know there are better female riders than me, so.... who cares, i hope i can learn something from them...

I have an A4 size picture of my bike on my wall at work. I get a few comments - "Is that your bike" from guys and girls as well. I always get positive feedback. The other day a young trendy guy asked the question and of course I proudly said yes it is and he was soo impressed that an older uncool chick like me could have such a cool bike - made my day. The girls always say good on you.
I get a few comments from non riders about how I keep it upright!! They don't seem to understand that I don't actually have to lift the 200 odd kgs, I just say I wouldn't be able to lift it but it is nicely balanced on the road and a joy to ride!

[Suzi Q]

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

I rode with a club once and I got told I didn't ride like a "girl". I took it as a compliment at the time. I had a slight advantage that day, I knew the road well - very well - and there were no twisties, so i was riding fast out in front most of the way to the first pit stop!!! I am fast on the higway and slow on the hills - hate going downhill!

Rode to the Toy Run with a group with one girl she rode well, a bit slow but within the upper speed limit and to her ability, she has only been riding a couple of years. It was good to slow down for a change a give a bit of support that was appreciated. Saw more of the countryside and really enjoyed the ride but going home had to have a blast up the Kaimai's then waited for her to catch up only half a min or so. Those who want to play in their own sand pit are welcome to do so. For me and some others, life is to enjoy, how we see fit. Not always at full throttle.

But Remember:-
If you are not living life on the edge
you are taking up too much room.

We have two girls that ride with us most of the time,My partner and my mates partner.They both enjoy getting out there and riding which is what it's all about,who cares if they're not as fast as some of the guys,I've also ridden with some slow guys too.We just adjust our pace,or stop and wait every so often.
If any of you girls want someone to ride with(in auck) you're more than welcome,just send Draco a pm and she'll tell you how to get in touch

I'm with you there.... slower on the downhills..... maybe I think I wont be able to brake as well downhill, but I'm much more confident uphill....
