Women on bikes.

[007XX]

After Gassit Girl's accident in 2002, she never once said "if I get back on a bike", it was "when I get back on a bike".

Me thinks I'd very much like this lady As a mate of mine described it: "you got grit!". I thought that was a pretty good expression.

Right on there, 007XX!

I don't think I'd be back on a bike if it wasn't for the hubby giving me the 'push' I needed! So, thanks, babe!

Thanks for your support, Veronique, but you girlies are the ones deserving the kudos.
After Gassit Girl's accident in 2002, she never once said "if I get back on a bike", it was "when I get back on a bike". Her left knee was very badly damaged, and it took about ten months, and then she followed up her statement. When Annie was recovering, she used to go out to the shed and sit on her bike... one day I was supporting the back of the bike while she was sitting on it, and she managed to get her left foot on the footpeg, next thing she goes inside and emerges a few minutes later with her bike gear on, and off out she went for her first ride as pilot in command since the accident. A few guys I know would have kicked motorcycling in to touch after such an horrific injury... not Annie, she only saw it as a set back.
In my observation, I reckon most girls are more thinking riders than blokes. And I would be bloody rapt if I could ever be as fast on a track as Flame, Rossi Gal, Keystone 19 etc etc.
Go you girlies, you make me proud to be fellow motorcyclists!

inspiring and yet again proof, if needed ,that kiwi biker ladies are ubercool, I'm glad I put this out now, just an opportunity to applaud the gritty babes we share the roads with.

Further to what someone said about the Kiwi/Aussie attitude being more self-reliant... our ancesters were pioneering stock, they chose (well the Kiwis did!) to go to a godforsaken wild country on the opposite side of the world and carve out a life for themselves.
Men and women side by side slogging it out to survive.
Maybe thats why Kiwi women are more out there and eager to have a go?

That 'can do attitude' is in the genes.

[CookMySock]

And I think he's not the only one like that...so I reckon that Kiwi blokes can be thanked for their open mindedness of chicks on bikes, because without that support, we probably wouldn't feel so much like giving it a go.

I don't think I'd be back on a bike if it wasn't for the hubby giving me the 'push' I needed! So, thanks, babe!

Thanks girls. Yeah we love to show you things we enjoy - much more to come when you're ready, too. And it's pretty cool, watching you getting into something new and exciting.

It's hard for us to slow down a bit and see things your way, but we're getting there.

much love,
Steve

That's it, that's the thing I've been grappling for. Spirit ,pioneering spirit if you will but spirit. Kinda, man falls ill, woman goes out and catches dinner whilst feeding the baby,takes the reigns whilst the old man shoots the indians.More equal than opposite, more partnership than relationship, when trials and tribulations come their way they twat em on the nose and just get on with it.

Or more up to date, woman falls off bike, gets up kicks bike and rides on, yes it farkin hurts but so what I'm still gonna ride kinda spirit.

I see it in my teenage daughters friends, " I lost my job at the chip shop Mr martybabe" ....Oh dear what ya gonna do now Hun "gonna get a job at 'another'chip shop of course" No moaning and bleating on for weeks just, I'll sort it it's all good.

Thank you buell babe, that's why I wrote this thread, a tribute to the spirit of NZ bikerbabes and NZ women in general.

Farkin awesome, all of ya. Respect. Martybabe. x

So many double entenders, so little time

Don't apologise...I love being handed such lyrical opportunities to twist an innocent enough comment (as yours was) into something a little more titillating

I knew fully well you just meant what you said in the nicest possible way.

[Xile]

Was a debutant rider back in France (only bit more than a year riding bikes)..and coming here open my horizon

Going to a first trackday and see how many chicks were there just totally amazed me! And so many racers like Keystone or Flame, that are so much faster than so many blokes!

Never thought about putting a knee-down ever in France...and since being here, eventually did it, even move into the medium group on track and if I had money, i'll give a go to racing

You go kiwi chicks!

My first track day there were 3 chicks out there... just 3.

I am pretty impressed with the growing numbers. Long may it continue

haha "innocent" ay, but was it ?

haha, did you now ?

It's real real difficult to call that with me.. was he joking ? gee that was a double-entendre, which way around was is intended ? Hard to tell innit ? Why is he grinning so broadly ? Cheeky cunt! LOL

You know what? I reckon it was...you may be a cheeky character, and one who likes to stir things up sometimes, but I reckon you're also a big softie, and way more of a big pussy cat than you let on.

Oh well...I guess I'll find out one of these days whether I am right or not!

[Mikkel]

cunt!

Easy now tiger, or this goes international...

[HRH]

Yeah, that's the kinda thing Geoff, I still can't put my finger on a definition of the difference but it's markedly there and it's all good. I'm appalled that I can't pigeon hole what it is that makes the women here so whatever it is but what I can say for sure is, it gets nothing but respect outta me.

Ladies that (live) in NZ (for 007xx) rock, more mates than opposites

I know what I mean, I'm off to consult a dictionary, my vocabulary file is sorely lacking on this occasion.

Perhaps the word you are looking for is "sack"? Metaphorically speaking, Kiwi women have the balls to have a crack at anything and the talents to make a damn good job of it in the process

[CookMySock]

sharrrrtarrrrrrrrp maaaaaan, you will get me found-out !!
