    How manly/girly is your ride?

    If your ride is stands out from the crowd: how manly / girly is your ride, and what makes it that way?

    I'm just curious, because I've had some interesting conversations lately about female-named bikes, the rare male-named bikes, diesel dykes, metrosexuals, petrolsexuals, and stereotypes.

    Feel free to nominate people and their rides.

    Food for thought is in the attached image (found via stumbleupon)

    I've always thought the KTM bikes were males...


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Nothing feminine about Hogs - that's all I can say.

    I guess my ZXR250 looks slightly more masculine without its front fairings, I still refer to it as she though.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    I ride a Honda (Gay) Hornet (old man), so I guess I ride an old gay man's bike.
    I really do need to 'streetfighter' it a bit I think.

    So what does that make hog riders?
    Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
    One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.

    Maximillian is a boy. He has two big cajones hanging out the side.

    He is my trusty steely steed & we go on adventures together.

    A bike is a piece of machinery without gender. It doesn't have a name. It doesn't have a personality. These are all traits that people give to machinery to make the machinery seem more human and friendly. To give the machinery humanity so it's failings can be attributed to something other than an actual human's failure (to ensure the machine is designed well, is mechanically sound...etc)

    Well even though Im much lower to the ground I still tend to really get noticed while Im out on the roads. Do not really like the colour but I did not have much choice. I reckon it looks like a friggin grasshopper, but I can live with that as its just nice to be riding something again...

    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    Bet there's a whole lot of guys out there disappointed to hear that (oo errrr)!
    (But they'd just be perverts anyway)

    Colapop - shades of "I Robot" in there perhaps?

    p.s. my Bandit is called "CoCo" (after Coco Bandicoot [girl]- spunky, adventurous, tomboy!).

    Wonderful to see! Good on you! Your attitude is inspiring!
