i am 40 years old - I am secure and I know what I want! Secondly, I am 175lbs, I do not need a car with 2 wheels, you know the bikes I am talking about. Thirdly, whenever I hear the "skirtster" comment, it is typically from dudes who don't even ride, i.e. they don't know what the f*ck they are talking about, and I let them know it. And finally, I know plenty of serious dudes who ride dark custom sportsters (mostly irons) and I dare anyone to call their machines girl bikes.......
