I find that the "thumb up" come from older men & woman. Probably because it wasn't often they saw a woman on her own bike....or that it wasn't acceptable back then for a woman to ride their own bike. I love it when an older lady pulls up in her car next to me and smilies and give me a thumbs up. Makes me smile.
Heather, I agree, 100%.

Could it be that the ladies like the Harleys because of the vibration?

I guess I was just puzzled as I thought it wasn't a big thing around here, but judging from the reactions of people, there doesn't seem to be too many Lady Ridersaround here yet.
I'm thinking that there is a vast majority of soccer moms in the area (Gem Heights, Silver Creek, etc.) whose sole purpose in life seems to be getting the kids to their lessons, driving oversized SUV's while talking on their cellphones and buying huge quantities of everything in the world from Costco.

Sorry. Got asister-in-law that used to live at Gem Heights;Ihated visiting that house!

BTW, what the he!! are they doing to Canyon Road now?!!? I was out there this weekend and it was like trying to dodge potholes, boulders and sewer grates whiletrying to stayinside the very narrow lines.

Did I just hijack the post? Another sorry. I love seeing women on bikes. I recentlyrode alongsidea girl on a Honda Shadow that was flirting with me. At least I think she was. Hard to tell these days with the deaf ear.[:@] Oh well, it's my story, she was flirting!

Keep riding, ladies. You're making theroad a prettier place.[sm=loveeyes.gif]

I'll come bail ya out. Of course it will probably take me a week to ride the Sporty from Nashville to the Seatle area, but that would be a great bike ride...and I'd get there for ya as soon as possible...
