| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/25/2006 10:44:21 AM | I'm thinking this topic needs a buzz-kill...
When In was in the Navy I almost bought a bike, but at the last minute I got sent to the Persian Gulf. Since then I've lost 5 friend to bike vs. car accidents, and although I've had the urge to buy one, the fear factor takes over. What sucks is that in 4 of the 5 cases it was the cars fault. 5th one was just stupidity that ended with a 97 MPH slide through a chain link fence. Trust me, thats something you don't want to see the results of.
Anyway, my point to all of this is that I thought of buying a Moped. Unfortunately, you know what they say about Mopeds? They're like fat chicks...they're both fun to ride until your friends see you on them!!
I guess I'll stick to horses and trucks. I thought women liked them too? | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/25/2006 9:27:10 PM | I am a sucker for a guy on a motorcycle. It shows that a guy has a certain degree of respect because being a rider, lack of respect for the bike can get you killed. I am a booty girl so a guy with a tight @$$ and the body to match wearing some shades, just the thought makes me tingle all over! My favorite movies are Torque, Biker Boyz, Fast and the Furious 1, 2, and 3. Enough said! | |

Don't care for a ride, have many guy friends that have bikes, could get a ride whenever I wanted. Not that there's anything wrong with it whatsoever, just doesn't hold any appeal for me.  | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/25/2006 10:04:21 PM | | personally I think it's because the girl gets to feel like a rebel for a short time then go back to her normal life. What I want to know is why all these men think putting pictures up of their motercycles is supposed to be such a turn on. What kind of woman are they looking for? I'm personally sick of these men that seem to want me to be their Biker chick. I would rather get to know the man not what he rides or drives for that matter. | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/25/2006 10:12:18 PM | It is just amazing how many women are motocycle owners and enthusiasts. They take those driving lesson safety courses, and they save up for years and buy their own bikes AND go on those long group rides. There must be a real strong attraction for motorcycles for women.
Me, I gave that up after I all my friends were getting injured and losing their lives. I lost cousines and coworkers and girlfriends and friends to motorcycle deaths caused by other drivers, and I drove a bike for 2 years and then lost my nerve when so many of us were dieing. I like my Jeep now ( and vette ). | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/25/2006 10:16:12 PM | I don't think it's always about the bad-boy / rebel image. I ride a sport touring bike (BMW) and girls seem to love it... just sayin... | |

It is always about the man first then the bike or whatever he has.......that is the way it should be. Just like it should be about the woman first not her boobs or her hair or etc.
Why are you so offended by men with bikes? It is just a part of us that we enjoy. I see women with their children, dogs, cars, boats, friends, etc.....should I be offended? I think all are just a part of our lives and to be seen that way.....not as a negative....
OT.....Women enjoy men with motorcyles just as some do men in bands or athletes.....all the thrill of enjoying what they see and knowing that others enjoy that also....so they want to be a part of it and the main part...... All is good......just enjoy the ride.....
Just my opinion..... | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/26/2006 1:50:21 AM | | it's not the bike -- it's all about the way a man looks when he's on it. the way his arms look so relaxed, the bike moving fast contrasted with the stillness of the driver, and when he puts his legs out straight, oh my my. something about the design of a harley that makes a man look so noble. and the noise!! every sunny day you guys rumble & roar down my street. it's the sound of summer. | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/26/2006 7:54:26 PM | | Thanks "c deacon". I think people read too much into stuff. I put the picture of me and my bike on this site because it is part of my life, I don't have any children, but if I did I would maybe put a picture of them on too, to tell everyone "this is part of my life". I bought the bike that I wanted, it's not a Harley or a crotch rocket. It's an older design (21st year of production). It's a super fast "hot rod" that is well respected by people in the know. It is a thrill to ride an experience if you will. I don't consider myself a "bad ass biker" or a rebel. Just someone who like to have fun etc.. | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/26/2006 8:55:14 PM | Deacon,
It's not that I'm offended by men with bikes, I like to look at bike's though I don't want to own one. What bother's me is that alot of these men seem to think it's a chick magnet, I don't understand why a man would want to put on display thing's he owns to try to draw in a woman. That's like people who put down how much money they make. Do they want a materialistic individual in their lives? That's why I said that. | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/26/2006 9:10:07 PM | | you could look at it that way but you probably be wrong. We post pics of stuff we like. personally I have had a vehicle pic on here myself after spending soooo much time on it I was proud too have a pic of it up.It's a part of my life. If ya like liked it we have something in common. If you didn't, oh well saylavie.not any different than any of the other pics out there. | |

There are obviously guys out there that buy bikes solely for this reason.
Not all of us do. The reason I love riding, is the same reason I've always loved horses. To me, it's a freedom I can't find anywhere else.
Honestly, I'm not sure how to explain it...which goes back to that, "If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand anyway" concept.
To me? It's about Rt. 244.
54 to 70...or up to Tularosa.
44 to Durango...eventually up to Silverton.
...the Enchanted Circle and Memorial in Angel Fire.
...I90, Exit 32 to Edmunds St.
A million other rides...

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/26/2006 10:00:03 PM | | Women like bikes for the same reason men do, they are cool and fun to ride. Have to admit though, was on a crotch rocket recently and while I didn't give the peril much thought when I was 19, with three kids, I found myself thinking, okay, the only thing keeping my ass on this bike is remembering not to let go! The image of dead mommy kill on the road caused me to think I had lost my mind but the joy of being on a bike again overrode that in the end. Would probably prefer a bike with at least something to keep my butt from shooting off the bike, however! | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/26/2006 10:15:27 PM | | sneaking my motorcycle to jr high school (parked it in the safeway parking lot nearby). school was near the woods -so the cops never got close to catching me. always coming to school to accuse me of ditching them. (i had such an irresistable "bad boy" rep) lot of the boys had some kind of dirt bike, so most parents looked the other way. even had a teacher that would organize motorcross events at the abandoned dump. literally had a line of girls begging me to take them for rides at 3pm every day, i think they used as an excuse to wrap their body around you while on the back of the bike. and when you showed up to school with road rash, or limping from wiping out -talk about a sympathy line. -wish i knew then what i know now... | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 10:21:03 PM | | On a deeper level I feel like you girls "drop your shield" for a moment when I take you for a ride and it's kind of cool and nice. It's like I'm taking you to a place you can't get to alone. It's like your being you true selves, being free and having fun!!! | |

| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/26/2006 10:28:35 PM | Thank goodness some do! Taking a weekend cruise on a bike allows you to just take in so much more of the trip. The sun, the speed, the rush of the wind, even the smell of the outdoors - you don't get that in a closed up air-conditioned car. Granted it's not for everybody - but the more adventurous know who they are.  | |
|
| Just Why Do You Girls Love Motorcycles??? Posted: 6/27/2006 12:23:36 AM | | Freedom baby Freedom! As someone put it earlier ....So in control, but not controlled.... the adreneline, the speed, the danger, the smells, the sound, the look, the unpredictablility of it, the sponatanaiety of it, the arms wrapped around you...there is nothing else like riding a bike ....d*mn I love to ride | |
