Same reason as anybody. It's a question that means something. Anybody should pay for and take care of their vehicle. Does that sting?

we aren't talking about anybody we're talking about women. i just don't understand why its important to focus on the paying-for or maintenance-of a womans motorcycle.

do you sell or repair motorcycles? if so, were you stiffed by a woman?

Sorry, but eh... I don't care. Really, I don't. Like someone else already said, seeing a gal on her own bike is a 2-3 point bump. I'll fix it for her, don't care.

I noticed that I as a women responded to your question and you ignore it but the men respond and that is what you answer.

I am sorry but if you want to know if WE pay for our bikes ask us not a guy..

How about this: I paid for IN FULL, both my bike, AND MY HUSBAND'S BIKE. Yes, I've wrenched on my own bike. But mostly, my husband does that for me. I cook; he wrenches. It works for us.

Yes, I make more $$$ than my husband and have for most of our 18 years of marriage.

Was there some point you were trying to make Gdawg? It's not the 1950's anymore Hon.

My wife pays and fixes her own! She is right there when we do any thing on her bike turning the wrench. WE converted her Nightster to a trike! She has helped me rebuild motors etc. What about you? Ever did a restore on an 50 year old car or even helped, my wife has!

Your comments have no bearing on the topic at hand.

I love seeing the ladies riding there own bikes. I hope it's a trend that continues to rise.

Harley is also a very forward thinking company. They are actively developing models with women in mind.
