that's not "badass". that's women modeling and strutting around bike. works for older guys i guess. that crap is repulsive to me. we are swimming in that sort of chick here in, FL. "badass" is misuesed and applied to anything people like... i can't figure out why a iron 883 with short shots is "BADASS!!!" looks like a slow loud bike to me. guess it's just a personal thing .... beholder and such.
that being said The Litas a global womens soft MC and good for them. we need more like them.
i have no idea where these down for the cause women are. all i ever see is the annoying ones that always need help, are playing dumb (also repulsive), asking for rides (uber repulsive, my bikes are solo seated for a reason), or playing dress up. i support the litas mc, babes ride out types... etc. i love grease monkey-ish women that don't strut around modeling... and clamoring for attention... that do it for the love and don't coat tail dudes. these guys:
-truth be told, the first person i ever rode with was a woman, she taught me tons and to stop being a such a girl. i still can't ride like her on that refrigerator she rides around on. she'll get on here bike and just leave for a week.... no plan. she's a badass to me. nothing but respect and admiration for her. she's like my motorcycle mom... (man tears)
My dad never raised his voice or his hand towards my mom. He would defend us kids to the death if we were right. He missed 3 days of work in 41 years at the same company. He was in church every Sunday and sat with my mom as she suffered through dementia. He was by no means perfect but I think he qualifies as a badass.
It can different things depending how it is used. Anything from something that is cool to describing someone that is hard to kill or defeat in battle can be badass or someone that does their job well.

Most badass man I ever met and I have met a few, is a pastor in a rural church in the midwest, at 68, I am sure he can still kill without little or any thought of how and the most efficient way to do so. The military trained him well, used him and when they both agreed he retired. True badass. I have a medically retired ranger that works for me, he is quiet, kind, and the nicest guy you could want to meet...until he isn't. I think he qualifies for badass.
I've read a few stories about people that are stuck under trees, or between rocks, and cut their own limb off to get free. Don't think that I could do that.
And the military people that witness things that most of us couldn't, then sign up to do it again. So the rest of us can sit in our recliners and look at motorcycle stuff. They're badass.
the wiry 62, 190 lb doorman walked up, whacked him upside the head, pulled it forward opening up a jagged, 1/2deep cut. Big man fell like a pile of rocks. I thought that was cold, but efficient. There were no repercussions back in 1979.
So thats the kind of guy I think is a badass.
Those would be the actions of a coward. And criminal. Gotta wonder how the guy that was struck is doing now...
