    Hey that's not true, I oggled your bike

    She is a real looker
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Personally I hate attention and I tend to not note when I attract it. But I've been told that the 'tard draws a few looks here and there...
    I actually thought about having a tank protecter with a lovely lady on it, but thought better of it.

    Nah, he was just commenting on the fact that he appreciated seeing a female taking up biking I think...Insecure sour puss next to him seemed to take it the other way though, but they often do

    Actually, when I've been parked one or two people have said how shiny and new the bike looks. But no-one has said anything nice about me.

    Nice arse

    Both the Triumph and KTM get heaps of attention. Lots of people check out the Triumph (cos it's always nice and shiny) and have had plenty of people already checking out the KTM, I think they're mainly bikers though with the KTM.

    I dont really get MUCH attention on my bike. I do ride a 250 afterall.

    I get looks and comments from people when I get off my bike and they see I am a chick. Ive had people on bicycles nodding at me, or guys in cages mostly, had some guys in a car follow me to the service station once. Actually to come to think of it I think I got more attention when I had the GN250, and most of that was people laughing at me.

    The vtz of doom doesnt look that flash but it sounds the business so I get comments on that.

    My new object of lust and hopefully my next bike is a triumph street triple, those always get my attention.

    I might get less attention when I put on my motorbike gear these days. Walking through the mall in austentatious mc gear usually draws looks too.

    My latest bike gets way more attention than the SV ever did. Scraming Eagle pipes help though I must admit.....

    and if I want even more attention I just flash my tits

    I know mate but we were in the middle of nowheresville which gave you a simple choice of ogling me or the bike. You made the right choice

    And for the record your bike was impressive too, mind you if there had been a moto morini there..............
    Oh bugger

    i get plenty of questions about the 2 bikes i ride and plenty of looks from all sorts of people, the type of look depends on what bike im on.....

    the boys at work always tell me to ride safe etc etc and that i have bigger balls than them because i ride everyday in all weather types

    and then there are the girls who go wow you are like the coolest chick ive met you ride a bike... can you teach me? take me for a ride? can i buy you a drink?

    so bikes = chick magnet




    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.
