Ladies Lead

[Brendami]

just curious if any of us do ladies lead rides? we used to do it on bikes and i dont see why it wouldnt be just as fun on motorbikes! everyone gets together and the ladies are up front. just a thought to get more female riders out there.

Sounds like a good idea to me... unfortunately, (and I think most here agree) ladies on bikes among us are a rather rare thing, and even rarer that ladies here ride their own :-/ but hey, maybe that could encourage more women to get into it? Sounds good!

Btw, I like your signature;-)

i know, thats why we stopped doing them. sucks cause it would be nice to go on a ride where the testosterone levels werent through the roof. and girls on bikes are (sometimes) nice to look at

and theyll never know

i don't know any ladies that ride. its odd.

Never bothered me when the ladies take charge. ;D

First group ride I went on was led by a woman. I know at least a dozen women riders in my area as well. Maybe it's an Oregon thing?

Most of the women I know that ride have more testosterone then most of the men I know...

We have tons of ladies riding in Toronto and I choose to follow as often as I can

i think its a west coast thing. we're all a bunch of feminist liberals.

I know a few girls who ride, and ride very well. Never had a problem following any of them.
My wife rides... sorta. Well, I taught her how to ride, then promptly took her bike apart for mods. She has a crappy sense of direction though, and can almost get lost backing out the driveway. So unless you want to wander aimlessly around our neighborhood, it's probably best if she doesn't try and lead

maybe she hasn't gotten her "sea legs" yet you should build her a really nice small bike. and then gift it to her.

There's been the odd girl here on DTT but for whatever reason they never stick around long enough to be one of the regulars. All the chest thumping drives them away

Mine rides an FZR which I built after she sold her 750 Ninja. She also races AHRMA, so it does happen.

Pssh, I wish I had anyone to ride with! I ride that ol dusty trail alone and its not always by choice..

I agree the major of women who ride do seem to have high testosterone levels.

Chest thumping is part of being a guy if it scares them off it is their loss. I think the lack of women is due to most do not built or work on their own bikes. While the photos in my thread show my husband working it is only because I take photos of him working. I however am in need of a manicure from working on my bike I want to and will know my bike from top to bottom when it is complete.

Thump away. I have seen nothing on DTT that would scare me away.

I bought her a Rebel 250. It fits her nicely enough. (she's so short legged that she can't even touch the ground when sitting on my '72 250 2smoker "cafe") But the styling of the Rebel is lackluster at best. I'll get her bike back up and rideable soon. Gotta finish building the shop first

I'm on board!
Nice to see that there are many more girls here who do not only love to ride a bike but also get their hands dirty.

Hehe so true...

'bout sticking to this DTT-forum long enough...sectretly reading a lot here for more than a year now, but not so active in posting ...maybe that's what a lot of girls do?
