Women On Harleys? |
stupid question but damnit WHY is it that it seems every old guy owns a harley and every young guy owns a damn sports bike but theres no women in the front seat of the two I just got my motorcycle endorsement and cant afford the harley ;) but I definently wanta cruiser am i going to be riding solo where are the REAL biker b-tches the ones in the front who are not nec butchy not nec 'rebellious' any friggin chick with love for the ride? We need a movie or ad to promote women riders who arent hussies or manly just women..... I've often wondered why more women don't ride as well. And no, it's not because of smaller physical stature or lack of strength. I've seen petite ladies handle the big bikes better than the big boys. My theory is that girls and women aren't encouraged to ride; and therefore, most women don't even think about it as a possibility. Most biker images in movies and TV are of the guy riding and the lady as passenger. (Similar to the guy always drives the car and the woman is the passenger.) Also, most of the advertising is aimed at guys. Most articles in the magazines make no doubt that they are written to the boys by including only masculine pronouns and referring to one's wife or girlfriend and having a big boobed thong clad hottie sitting on the bikes in the photos. Yep, we ladies are left out. But, catch 22. Why should the magazines and ads cater to women when the vast majority of readers (and riders) are guys. I've lost track of how many times I've been asked "where's your husband" or "does your husband approve of you riding" when I'm out and about. My male biker buddies don't get asked these questions in reverse. On the other hand, I've also lost track of how many times I've gotten "go girl!" and honks and smiles. As for finding a group of ladies to ride with... most major cities have them. Yep, there are some manly looking lady bikers out there. Most of them are big teddy bears if you got to know them. These groups in the big cities are full of regular looking ladies as well. But, really, whether you ride or not shouldn't be because of whatever groups are available in your area or how the other riders look. You should ride because you want to ride. I can't imagine not riding. u must be one hot sexy babe Lots of women ride Harley's. In fact, my neighbor just broke her leg on a Sportster when she accidentally got too close to her significant other's Road King. She's no "butch" biker lady; just a nice Grandmother who happens to like bikes... Quite a few Hollywood ladies also ride Harley's (Cher, for example)... I would say riding B**ch with their old man but I digress... Best place to look is with biker groups such as the local riding clubs set up by the biker dealerships in your area.. HOG is the biggest one in the states, but it's a Harley only group... There are other more local groups that usually have women riders who's husbands/boyfriends own bikes or just they themselves want to feel the open wind. Cruiser Bike fans are most likely to see this. Contact the local bike shops in your area dealing with cruisers (such as the honda,yamaha,suzuki,etc) and ask them about the women riders.. There are some groups in bigger cities that actually cater only to women riders. What's the REAL question? Why can't you afford a Harley? I don't know, set up a budget to save for one. In the mean time do what everyone does that can't afford their "dream bike"; fantasize about riding the dream bike while you save, and ride what you can afford. Or is it "Where are the real Biker B-tches (classy way to address yourselves, bye the bye)". The answer would be, "OUT THERE somewhere" riding solo, just like you want to. Or maybe with some tag-along putz trying to keep up! Who would "WE" be that would put up an ad saying women are perfectly able to go ride a motorcycle by themselves??? Just go ride and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. I hate this "LOOK at MEEEE" attitude. "DON'T LOOK AT ME, just a biker, nothing to see here, move along" would be better. Stop trying to be some sort of Sideshow Bob..... Start off on a Yamaha V-Star 650 classic. You'll love the low yet powerful ride of this big bore V-Twin for beginners. After a couple of seasons, trade up to the love of your life... a HD Heritage Softtail Classic FLSTC 96 Cu In. You will love the ride, power and sound. You won't regret having to dish out the extra cash to get the ride you want. http://www.hd4sale.com/pages/detailed/46... |
