What a load of bollocks, bikes don't make the riders image-conscious. Insecurity does that. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

I tuck everything into my boots, including jeans. If I wear big biker boots under trousers everyone assumes im a lesbian Although I learnt a valuable lesson recently about how waterproofs should go over boots when it rains....
PS - im not a lesbian tyvm. ____________________ Theory test - 19/8/09, CBT - 11/10/09, MOD 1 - 16/8/10, MOD 2 - 27/10/10

I blame that on the bikes.

I was all about the image for about 4 years, had to have the best boots, best gear, and look cooler than everyone else.
I dont know why it happened or how i got sucked into it, but once i stopped riding flashy superbikes and bought a commuter i lost interest in image overnight and couldn't give a toss now.
If i buy another superbike, i bet it all comes back though.  |
I don't think that bikes make the riders image concious. I think it's more due to image concious people choosing certain bikes. I'm guessing that you don't feel you are as image concious after getting your ER6 because you probably weren't so image concious when you bought it.
I will admit that I am concious of other peoples opinions and the image that I portray (anyone that says they aren't is probably lying) but I am only concerned with the opinions of people that matter. I couldn't give two shits if joe bloggs thinks I'm a "fag" when they see me with my jeans tucked into my boots riding a CG or because I don't fit into their standard.
I was amazed that it took me ten minutes (literally) to talk a friend into wearing a high visability jacket on the back of my bike while taking a trip to Arrochar just because he was concerned about what total strangers who wouldn't even see his face would think of him.
Usually the people who are so quick to judge are the ones that don't matter. The less people like that the better and maybe we'd all just do our own thing rather than trying to look cool and fit in. |

Yes, i posted that, but what do i need to explain?
My opinion was & is that some bikes have an effect on the riders image of themselves, and others don't.
You called it bollocks, but i think you're wrong.I say you are wrong because of how some bikes have affected me, and also other riders i know, so i dont really understand why you are making a big deal out of it .You aren't the voice of the entire bike world...are you?
We're all different mate and what i said was just my own personal opinion and experiences.Its not bollocks but you can think that if you want to.  |

Riding a recent sports bike I wear about the same as I do riding a very ratted naked bike or an 'adventure' style bike.
I can see that some who chose the bike they ride on looks as much as anything else wanting to match it with other sparkly bits. The psychological reasoning for this is another matter . |
