How much public attention do you get?

[Pussy]

I always like the reaction from people when Gassit Girl pulls up on her bike and removes her helmet.... surprised looks!

My previous bikes the GSXR750 and GSXR1000 got many nice comments, but the big M109R leaves them in the dust. I get comments, compliments, waves from cars. People regularly walk up and ask about it.

This is like the 2nd or 3rd time you have inferred that my relationship exists due a raffle...HOW RUDE!

I met the Co-pilot 28 years ago in Sylvania Waters Pub when she was selling Raffle Tickets.

Well, Number One, you and Gassit Girl should attract some attention when you're out burning up the tarmac together. Two HAWT chicks on HAWT bikes...

...it's a hard life having a sexy black bike.

I guess someone has to do it...

Was she the prize, perchance?

The SV gets a fair bit off attention, probably mostly due to the exhuasts, and the occaaaaaasional wheelie here and there it is sexy, black and naked tho so its a bit of a triple threat!

[gunrunner]

All the guys want to ride it as soon as they hear it , the ladies just want to sit on it

I get alot of attention on my bike as it is loud - and I love it when people hear me coming down the road and turn to see and then follow...I get to feel cool! (shut up don't ruin my delusion)

Do get more attention when I get off it and people realise I'm a chick... It's NOT THAT exciting SURELY!!! Girls have been riding for ages and there seem to be so many of us out there now.

Actually it makes me a rather self conscious...as a Murphy's Law believer I know it is moments when people are watching that I have to concentrate really hard and think to myself 'just don't do anything embarrassing and drop the bike'!!!

I have the exact same thing happen... will be following hubby on his HD that gets everyone's attention due to the loudness and then they look at me and they do that .... double neck cracking look thing and and say OH MY GOD ITS A CHICK RIDING!!!!

Its like I've invented the idea!!!!! Always cracks me up!! Disappoints my man when he realises I stole his attention!

I just fear the potential moment while everyone is staring at me...

Yeah cops pay too much attention to me. When I had my BMW K100RS I had a hicktown cop stop me - just a road block - he got the shock of his life when I took off my helmet and found out I was a woman - said he'd never known a woman to ride a bike before (??!!) he was in his 50s. Big Bike for a woman - as he looks up at me - well hello I'm not pint size by any means - he also asked me how I could afford a beemer.

One of the scariest moments I've had was on a loan bike gn250 riding from the Hutt into Wellington. No power - light, too small for me, it was windy. I take my hat off to people that can ride them.

When I've been on my camping tours and I'm having a coffee break I get alot of old guys reminiscing about their own bikes. I enjoy listening to them.

Teenage girls are interesting - usually in awe - I fully encourage them and say you too can ride - get your licence and work your way up to a bike you are comfortable with.

God I miss my bike. 3 more months and I WILL get a Dr's clearance lol.
