Lady KBers - do you think you are more blokey in traits if you ride?

[Lucy]

Can someone tell me how to do the thumb test please?! I think I sort of get the gist, but would like to know how the hands are held or whatever, just for a giggle.

...of course, being a bloke, I then wondered how many biker chicks had contemplated....um....solidifying their blokiness with....um....another chick.

Given that, realistically any chick is only a couple of beers off being a lesbian, surely the manly throb of a bike would only increase the propensity?

That is classic! Why do you think a 'manly throb' would increase the desire for a woman and not for a manly man? (And now I know why The_Dover always refers to Honda riders as fags....!)

Ok so NOW i'm a potential lesbian coz i ride a bike and also NOW i'm a potential fag coz said bike is a Honda I'm getting really confused about my sexuality here

[KATWYN]

Now regarding the finger thumb crossing thing, just asked the blokes to cross there thumbs, the left hander crosses his right thumb over the top, the right hander did the opposite and I did same as the right hander and I am right hander so possibly this is more to do with whether you are right or left handed.

i'm a left hander.....theres hope

Yep, I think you're definately repressing your inner lesbian....let it out, be free

Never saw this 'crossing of thumbs' thing on TV but tried it just a second ago, my left thumb goes over my right (tried it the other way round - felt really awkward) and I'm *left handed, what is THAT meant to indicate??

*Except for hitting a ball with a hockey stick, golf club or soft-ball bat etc, then I'm right handed - go figure!

Ok, I will. Wanna come over and play?

Notice that the really successful bike racers are generally men who are small in stature and light weight, like jockeys. They need to be fit, flexible and have endurance. Any minute now we're going to discover that motorbike racing is women's work.

Ahem.......

[Disco Dan]

Just wondering if us ladies that ride have more crossover with the traits that makes men - well men - more spacially aware, competitive, good at navagating etc?

oh dear.... does that mean I am more 'woman' then? hahaha!

[NotaGoth]

I noticed that the minute I talked about getting a bike I had comments thrown my way bout being a butch lesbian...what the hell?????


"You can't do that cause your female"




Well I'm sorry... But why sit back and be labelled useless cause theres this whole... "females can't do this and that" "females shouldn't do this and that" thing going on..

"A females place is in the home"

Its so old fashioned..

Get out there and give it a go... You might just suprise yourself..

I've been more than willing to get out there and learn to work on my own car.. Starting from the basics like tyres changes, oil changes, changing air filter, brakes etc etc... I'm the same when it comes to my bike.. I'm willing to learn.. Because I know that when I put my mind to it I can do anything..

It doesn't mean you've got more male traits... The fact is females are as equal as any male out there in the first place... Theres just been this whole pathetic image pinned on what each sex should be like... And its still sticking!!

At the end of the day it just means you've got the guts to get out there and give it your all.. You've got the guts to be independant..

Whipe the whole female this male that image.. Its bullshit..

[sunhuntin]

hell, im more blokey than the guys i work with [for the most part!]

hate makeup, nail polish etc. my nails are as short as i can get em. hair just gets shaken roughly when the lid comes off.
for the most part, i cant stand women... they bore me half to death. always bitching and catty about someone else.

i live in a tshirt and jeans... its very rare ill wear anything but! i look like a cross dresser when i do try chicks clothing.
im happy getting under a bonnet and getting engine crap under my nails. i love cleaning bikes, and would like to learn maintinence... im tempted to hang around the mechanics on monday and watch them do a service on v-go.
diesel on my hands doesnt bother me.

but then, ive always been more boyish. hated barbie and loved transformers. loved climbing trees and hated playing skipping games.

i can read a map and find my way out of almost anywhere without one. dunno how to drive, so cant paralell park.

and my left goes on top of my right.

Hell yeah, I've been a lesbian for years....I did think about going gay but then I learnt of the prohibitive standards of hygiene, and all that dancing

[Toaster]

I wear a kilt from time to time. I used to shave my legs when I raced pushbikes. After a good snog I often have lipstick on my face (and sometimes somewhere else but we won't talk about that) .

Does this mean I'm a chick or just comfortable with my sexuality?

And you called me gay for being in the Navy??!! (ex-navy by the way!) lol

[Toaster]

Hmmmmmm I was the 666th person to view this thread. I have a t-shirt coming that says "mark of the beast" (to do with my bike). Is someone trying to tell me something here?
