Yes, I ride with chicks, and one of them happens to be my SO. Let me tell you, she can throw sparks in the twisties. I have ridden along with many "womens" MCs and they can ride just as well as anyone, male or female.

i used to race bikes (years ago). I've seen some women that ride better than the men they were racing. the great thing about motorcycles .. they are for everyone who wants to ride them.

Hi my friend. It is interesting that ppl are referring to how women ride. I had no intent on how they ride. The argument (err, discussion) I had with a friend of mine is that woemn CHANGE the DYNAMICS of the group. More specifically, when guys hang out, the dynamics are 1 thing. When a gal is added the dynamics change. Right or wrong, they change.

It was the above why I posted the poll, nothing to do with how they ride. If u read the original post, I tried to be quite clear abt how I asked the question. No aspertionsm no innuendos on WHY but DO YOU ride with gals.

Thank you for your input.......

Default This post is NOT about HOW women ride but the DYNAMICS of the group.

When I posted the poll, it was about the DYNAMCIS of the group when u add a women. NOT about HOW they ride.

I tried to make my original post very clear and simply asking if you would ride with a chick. Funny, how the e-mails gravitated to HOW they ride.

Simply put, I got into a discussion with a fellow male rider about how woman change the DYNAMICs of a group if all men were riding in a group. (Again nothing about how they ride.) Just the dynamic's.

If a gal is added to the group, are you going to watch ur language a bit more? Burp? Fart? Stories you would tell or speak a little less freely about certain subject, Etc...... The truth is YES! IMHO

But it seems like it is overwhleming (via the poll) that I stand by myself abt not wanting to ride in a group when the dynamics change. Ok, that is just me. And I greatly appreciate everyones vote.

Thank you as always, this is a GREAT place to come and get/share information.

My best to everyone!

No my friend, I have not posted this b4. Nor would I repeat anything (knowingly) that was already posted.

Checked out your link above and I am certainly impressed!!! GREAT for her. There is another gal that was on TV not long ago who is a dbl amputee and she has more GET UP AND GO than most anyone else. Very impressive. I take my hat off to her.

Thank you for your post.

How? Is it because you can't drop "F" bombs all the time?

well now you should have explained that in the beginning.. now for my stupid opinion on that.

Every person added into a group changes the dynamics..MALE OR FEMALE.
Having played with lots of musicians down through the years,both male and female, it's not a gender thing it's a personality thing. Each person brings both good and bad (strengths and weaknesses) into the group. It is not specific to gender, age, experience, it has to do with personality traits, and the reaction of the group to those personality traits.

The above statements are true, unless you have preconceived notions of a specific type of person.. ie your preconceived notion of how it's women and not the individual person that changes the dynamic of the group.
