You have your Honda Riders Club days, don't forget...Other makes may be allowed but they're not invited.
I'd expect the Zooki/GSXR days are geared up to market equipment at the riders/enthusiasts of these bikes and such effort would be wasted on a CBR lover.
Has this thread kicked off due to some young guy's need to ride with women rather than men?
In the interestes of increasing participation numbers it is often beneficial to exclude those already involved in an activity so as to encourage new people to have a go...
As a Golf Course Superintendent I see improved retention of newbies, regardless of sex, when they are introduced to Golf and coached separate to the show offs already in the Club.
Let the girls who wanna ride with other chicks now & then have their fun. I wouldn't wanna ride with a bunch of sweaty, smelly, show off boys all the time either![]()

Indeed. In most cases, exclusion of one gender should not be a problem...as long as that is a two-way street. Which is where the problem becomes apparent. The double standard is not a fair go. The old 'What's your's is mine and what's mine is mine'.
But it is election year![]()
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
I haven't forgotten - I don't particularly agree with the idea of excluding brands, regardless of whether it's Honda, Suzuki or Hyosung for all I care.
I understand that the Honda days do allow other brands, but at a higher entry fee.
If some chicks want to hire the track and only allow chicks, who cares ?
Mother's Day is a private hire and no Jappas allowed - who cares ?

Hi Cowboyz...I have done a normal track day and loved it. However, I have to admit that it was at first intimidating because of a few young dickheads who thought it utterly hilarious to wizz by someone who is an obvious first timer and also who is obviously a chick , and I mean so very close I could almost smell them
Now, I happen to be the kind of chick to just get pissed off at that sort of attitude, and just decide to give them the big finger by getting better and better throughout the day despite their obvious disregard for how their attitude could affect me on the track.
But other women out there get intimidated way easier, and how fair is it for them to have to put up with little shits like these guys?
No one is targeting you personally, but just trying to cater for a group of riders with particular self confidence and skill issues.
Oh and btw, Flame would never be intimidating on a track of newbie girls...she'd be smart enough to just be respectful and mindful of the people around her.
To sum up my point: A few bad eggs in your gender group is spoiling it for the rest of you lovely blokes.
It's sad and unfair, I agree...but there are plenty of track days out there that I don't see it should hurt you that much.
The Honda days are run by the Honda Riders Club. You can ride whatever brand of bike you like but you pay a higher price if you are not an HRC Club member. They recently decided to exclude race or non road registered bikes so some of us are crying because of that.
They also occasionally run lady only or learner days. Cant see any problem with that. Organisers can invite, or not invite whoever they want. Its their day.
and might I add the word GOLF stands for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.
So times have changed, the pendulum has swung perhaps too far in our favour. It sucks, it always has.
And as far a ladies only rides I also wonder if thats because there is a lot less women on bikes out there and so a bit more advertising to get them together is needed to get them all in one spot.?
I wouldn’t be broke if the voices in my head paid rent
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Everyone participating in this discussion cares. Some agree & others don't.
If I wanted to increase market share of my product I'd invite other brand users along to show them how good my product was...It's not about rewarding brand loyalty, its about extracting more money out of the punters.
That's exactly why I support Ladies days.![]()
Ain't she just?![]()
The same can be said for the Likes of Keystone19 and Nicksta...these ladies have a serious racing experience and capacities, and I'd take lessons from them any day.
Then again, DMNTD is a pretty good teacherI know he helped me heaps during my track day!
Now, I understand...so I guess offering to give him a leather clad
at the moment wouldn't really help, uh?

Reckon ya should exclude the ones not having sex...
Yahoo!! I'm safe based on that criteria...![]()
Mind you, it's not that stupid a suggestion, given that accumulation of testosterone (from not gettin' any) will create an accumulation in aggressive behaviour, and general dushbag attitude...
From my very scientific Strumpet observation anyway...![]()
