I’m a gal, and have been riding for over 35 years, not counting riding 2-up with my daddy since I was little. Have a RK and an Ultra. Put some serious miles on before grad school started over-riding my time *pun intended *.

You have your own cool hangout here. Guys don't have a special place here.

I've been referred to as a guy here numerous times and I'm in my avatar, but I guess a lot of the dudes here have their wives or girlfriends in theirs. Or a pic of jiggly **** and ***.

We're in a man's world and I'm ok being one of the guys as long as they don't get crude.

Since it is a predominately male forum, I think it's just natural (and generally safe) to assume that your gender, unless obvious based on your screen name, would be male. If it bothers you, change your avatar or screen name.

This. If anyone finds it offensive-

"Lighten Up, Francis!"

(See what I did there, I used a name that is often used by males as well as females)

Uh oh - this guy sounds butthurt.

Good for you and your serious miles. Makes me take you way way way more seriously.

Naw...guys named Francis use other names...like Psycho...

Putting your picture as your avatar would help a little...most guys on here just assume most everyone on here is a guy.

Now that you’ve outed yourself as a woman, Puddles13, how do you wave when you’re riding? Also, did you take the reflectors off of your bike, or leave them on? By chance, what oil do you use, where do you put your gas caps, do you use a cup holder on your bikes, and does the voice in your head give you cause for concern? Ever pinched a loaf when riding?

There’s another member with the name “Puddles” but I’m pretty sure this is a guy.

I usually start a PM with "Hey (tag name) and never assume either way. But with a tag name of "puddles" I might THINK they're a female but I wouldn't ask. It doesn't matter to me.

Your screen name would have us thinking you're a chicken, but you're not. Everyone knows chickens cant type..
