I wish i did.

I'm too young for Medicare, and too old for "womentocare".

sometimes being single and alone all the time sucks. When you're an Average Joe, and all the ladies want "Mr.Right", you get to be alone.

Yes I ride with chicks and I am a chick. Sometimes we let guys ride with us too.

We are riding to Sturgis this year from my west coast location. Our Sturgis group is 15 people on 13 bikes. 5 of the bikes are ridden by girls. Going to be a great trip. This will be my 4th ride to Sturgis.

maybe the question should be "do women want to ride with men"
I'll ride with anyone that shows some sense in their actions

Be it a short ride or long........... "Do You Ride With Chicks?" if there is going to be a gal in the group? EITHER AS A RIDER OR PASSENGER, IT DOES NOT MATTER.

Oh, and don't get me wrong, I am married and LOVE gal's for sure, but I for one do not ride with chicks.

The reason to WHY you do or do not is NOT a question I am asking here. Just do u or do u not ride with chicks in a group. You will notice in the poll, it is YES or NO and nothing in between.

Again as alway, THANK YOU in advance for your vote.

I just got into a bit of an argument abt riding (with a male rider) abt riding with women and only wanted to know what others thought.

GLAD to hear u lead groups. WELL DONE! Also, glad u ride well. What helped me is RIDE LIKE A PRO by Jerry Palladino (found on the internet). His video is EXCELLENT! (I know teach it to locals.)

Thank you for your vote.

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.......

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!

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.

OK, OK. I voted yes or no. How many times do you have to repeat
this. You should have known how it would go before you posted, it's
a custom on hdf...

Don't rightly know. It is (I guess) akin to trying to explain what chocolate tastes like. You know the taste, just can't explain it. Same as with adding gal's to the group.

Sry, that is the explaination as poor as it may seem. :-(

I have ridden with chicks a lot over the years. And it's my wife dropping the "F" bombs not me.

I answered no but that's because I don't like to ride with anyone, male, or female if I can help it. More than happy to meet someplace but prefer to get there by myself.

Just insert ride in place of drink in the lyrics of the song in this vid and that sums up my response.
