RE: Women riders
If you were my girlfriend I would prefer you to ride on the backof mine for two reasons: 1- you're HOT! And having you right next to me would be very cool!
and 2- I have a lot of confidence it my riding ability(from many years of city riding).... BUT If you insisted and really wanted to ride your own I would be supportive of that. I would be worried, but supportive. My younger sister rides; but she has taken courses and I have tried to show her exercises to practice and things she should be able to do with that big bike in order to avoid the inevitalble accident or close call(s) and she just doesn't have the ability or confidence, so she doesn't ride much.... which I and her riding boyfriend are glad about. She actually prefers to ride on the back and take in the scenery, less stressful for her. Practice, practice, practice, and ride safe!

RE: Women riders
Just a few weeks ago, I had the first guy tell me "I would hate for my woman to ride her own bike". He was a friend of mine's new boyfriend (rides a Harley) that I was just being introduced to. I was actually speechless-a new phenomena for me!!

RE: Women riders
Too bad they are treating you that way. All the men that I know have been nothing but supportive and encouraging. But as longer as you and yourBF are having a great time...who cares what they think.

Twiggy, if I'm not mistaken, from the looks of you on your bike in the sig, you are around 6' tall and that alone should keep the wise guys mouths shut. You don't look like the type of person male or female. that I would want to have pissed at me. Ride on girl!
