My mate charlie, she rides, got some sort of suzuki v twin chopper thingy, too shiny and low for my liking, but she claims it'll do 80 (125cc).
And in the bike park at college, we have (125s) my NSR, a CBR, charlie's bike, and non 125s, we have a restricted sv650, a DNA, and loads of peds, some girls ride them, but mostly, there are only 4 real bikes, if you include 125s as bikes, like I like to!

Woman I work with 'used' to ride a bike, whilst she was living abroad. However, now she has come back to England has said she will not ride again... Aparently the roads are too narrow, and as such, dangerous.
Still, maybe she'll come back to her senses again one day |

I'm a girl, I ride a Ninja zx6r (I'm 28, is that still a girl? are women always girls? I don't know ) I didn't ride when I was a teenager though, got my first bike (NSR125) when I was 23. |

Dup - for goodness sake, change your route man!!!
Izzi, much as I have been told off for it by some, all women are girls in my book... I don't like the term woman(women) nope, girls and guys.... And jealous of that bike - I wanted a Ninja (all beit a 9r)... never mind...
I've got my heart set on passing my test, getting an R1 (and an R6 for my fiancee), until such time as I can find an immaculate, low mileage older style ZZR1100 in pearl black (Mind you, it'll be the R1 for everyday riding and the ZZR for Sunday/Special day riding... |

<insert selection of shortarsed nothern monkey jokes here>
Sorry I just woke up and my brain hasn't finished booting.
'Girl' is derogatory ONLY when blokes aren't referred to as boys. 'Men and girls' pisses me off. 'Boys and girls' - no problem.
FWIW, when you're talking teenagers, yeah you don't see that many girls riding, but that could have something to do with the parents being more likely to encourage their son to ride than their daughter (and face it, when you're a teenager you *generally* need some form of parental support in order to own a bike) due to a whole number of reasons.
I didn't start riding until I was 21 and that was a scooter for practicality and cheapness, didn't get the big bike bug until I was 24. |

Hex, definately. I've had a major soft spot (or should that be hard ) since I first saw a ZZR1100 in Superbike, hmmm must have been the early 90s. Anyhow, it's almost a childhood dream - I'm just not prepared to be one of these mid-life crisis cases...

It's weird, when I use the term girl, I never mean it in a derogatory manner, and certainly never refer to myself as a 'man' (I'm really just a 16 year old trapped in a 23 year old's body)... But where as I don't mind calling a 25 year old 'woman' (or 28 in your case Izzi ), a girl, a 25 year old 'boy' doesn't sound right to me... To explain...
Girl upto 75/80 then 'oldgirl'... (NOTE: Not meant to be derogatory)
Boy up to 12/13 then Guy upto 75/80 then 'oldboy...
For some reason, I don't attach the same age relation to 'girl'... Okay this is dragging on now, sorry peeps... To conclude, I'm a Guy and Girl (rather than Boy and Girl) person... Hope that's OK Bendy and Laura... |

I think a lot of girls don't realise how many other girls do actually ride, and get all worried about being the only girl when they go to do their CBT or whatever - which is completely illogical but does seem to be the case from what a few of my friends have said. Or they think that you have to be really strong to handle a bike or other irrational things like that. :S
Personally, the 'being the only girl' thing never bothered me in the slightest. And nor does dressing like a scruffbag, helmet hair or any of the other reasons you could think of that would put girls off bikes. |

I am a girl... not a teenager either but definitely a girl the last time I checked the bumps under the jumper!
Some of the people I ride with include Mel, Colleen, Brenda, Rita, second Mel, Jackie, ...... can't think of any more off hand, but at the bike nights I go to there are quite a lot of girlie bikers!
We are out there (something to do with the speed and the sexy leathers I think!) You just need to look harder!! ____________________ Sticks and stones may break my bones but leather and chains excite me! |

*The shock of it!* Women riding bikes, you've seen them this cant be true, i mean its 2004, women still cook in the kitchen all day!
As Bendy said, hard to tell when wrapped up in leather, unless there wearing a very curvy set of leathers. But its no rarity anymore, theres a lot of women bikers these days.
Like on this forum, theres:
M (who likes to burn out clutches @ elvington )
Bendy
Laura (Of course)
Annabella
Viper
MrsHippy
Izzy
And theres a lot more who i have forgotten, or cant be bothered to mention. ____________________ VAG Cars - www.vagcars.co.uk - North East VAG Owners Club |
