I once had a guy stare at me while I was filling up my Shadow 750 with gas. It had SHADOW written on the tank and he said “wow ma’am is that a SHADOW.” I politely did my Vanna White and pointed out the wording on the tank and said “here’s your sign”… I now ride a Harley!

Love ALL these comments!! I’m a new rider & have been supported by many, many people……but if I hear “organ donor” or splat one more time! And snide comments from men, mind you I’m a small bone female who rides an 06 Fatboy & some of my commnets have been………Yep got rid of him & bought my own fatboy & a younger model!! Of course at times I can’t let this one slip by; “It Stays Long, Hard & never ending vibes! Can you do that? Also this is one ride I NEVER complain of a headache!!! I can go on & on, but I must also admit, I’ve been told by many men that there isn’t anything sexier that a woman riding her own bike. Ain’t intimidation great?!

Enjoy ladies, ride proud, be safe & keep em’ guessin

Loved the “Mens” one! A group of us, yeppers all Lady Riders, went to a She Rides Conference this past Saturday. I was, for the first time in my life, the Road Captain. On the way back home we stopped at a gas station to fuel up and rest a minute. As I went to pay for my gas the attendant asked, “Where are your guys?”. I looked at him as innocent as could be (I’m a Preachers wife after all!) and said, “They are at home cleaning the house and keeping the babies, just as they ought to be doing!” and I turned and walked out. One of our ladies came falling out the door laughing and said, “you should have seen his face! He was dumbfounded!” I grinned and waved at him cos he was watching and waving out the window as we pulled away. hehehehe……….

Ride on Ladies!

Im training to be a motorcycle mechanic and find that to be even worse with the sexism then actual riding. My own boss actually made a comment about how he couldnt understand why women would be interested in mechanics considering the only thing they are interested in is battery operated devices. I threw a spanner at him :D

My message to all those out there who think we should ride bitch – we are not back rests, we do get sick of looking at the back of a lid and WE look better riding them :D

Ride safe Girls!!!

My doctor thinks it is so cool I ride. Maybe that explains the free medicine! Hell yeah!!! :)

My own sister called me stupid when I got my motorcyle temps and my mother-in-law called me an idiot, but most people think it is totally cool that I have my own bike. To those who talk about how dangerous it is, I say “Hundreds of motorcyclists ride and return home safely every day. I intend to be one of them.” Finding out that I’m a lady who works at a church and owns a motorcycle really raises some eyebrows on folks! :) Riding is a great way to enjoy God’s creation!
My husband’s friends are giving him a hard time wanting to know when he is going to get a bike. I tell them having a motorcycle was on MY bucket list, not his.

Well, as a guy who rides and who finds it attractive when women ride, I have to apologize for those of my gender who are clueless, rude and otherwise obnoxious. I don’t get the sexism thing either…but I plead guilty to taking a second look when I see a lady riding.

Sorry, I just do. It’s hot. Sue me.

I love it when a man says “HEY! Take me for a ride!” To which I smile and say, “Real men don’t ride Bitch!” That shuts them up pretty fast. A few have said “Then let me be in the front!” .. my expression changes as does my whole demeanor when I say “YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR *#&@ MIND!” and I ride away.

A couple friends of mine were once asked (as the motel attendant looked over their shoulders), “Where’s your mens?” We often get things like, “Are you girls all by yourselves?” (Once there were 4 of us on bikes & 2 more plus a baby in a truck on a trip and all I could think is, ‘No, we’re all together.’) We always describe these remarks as “Where’s your mens?”
