Well, take it this way, they got the gender right? Surely it would have been worse if they'd thought you were a guy...

But yes, pretty sure today was one of those days all round

On that not a while ago a few guys in a work truck whistled at me. I'm a guy, I'm just skinny and have long hair. They sped off when they saw my face. Heh.

Yeah, I know the feeling - have cut my hair since and haven't had any since that I've noticed. Even better when you smile knowingly back, the reaction is priceless..

Hahahaha how to annoy a lot of powerful people on here. And I'm not talking just specifically about the women, I'm talking bout the ones where the husband and wife are both on here. Some poor sod is bound to say the wrong thing in reaction and it'll be silent treatment for a fair while.

this is a closely guarded secret, but Ill let you in on it. Sometimes we blokes do stupid shit to piss the women off in hope of the silent treatment.

usually we see it as more of a holiday than a punishment!

Haha I have brothers, don't worry, I get it. And apparently being made to sleep on the couch is great, like a camping trip haha.

How to punish a man, spend ALL your time and attention on him lol

Hey Lozza, there's one diamond amongst the dross there.

At least he said, "It's a HOT chick!"

And who cares what the cagers think, they just don't know how it feels out here on two wheels.

Exactly, it doesnt matter whether you are on a 1000cc or a 250cc, they both have a similar outcome if you crash at 100km/hr. But this person also thought they might fall apart when ridden at that speed. Might be true for some dodgy motorcycles from some unknown manufacturer in China though. lol

100 km/hr is perfectly safe. It becomes totally unsafe at 104 km/hr .... hence why they allow the tolerance ... between 100 and 104 it is merely "risky" ...
