What do you think about a woman on a motorcycle?

Racing  - This is a photo of my father on his 1/2 track racebike. He rode and raced in the 70's and he has never lost the gumption to want to ride again, but he's to old and broken up to be on a bike again. He trained me and that's why I've always enjoyed bikes of all kinds.

I've been riding dirtbikes since the age of 14 and I have a passion for the exhilaration of the wind on my face and the excitement of the bike floating across the face of the earth. I recently bought my second streetbike and I'm having a blast in my spare time. It's a lot scarier on the street than on the dirt, but I'm figuring that I'll get used to it. I don't plan on going for miles on the bike. I just thought it help me to save money on fuel. The cost is outrageous. I was just wondering what other men and women think of the notion of a female who rides a motorcycle. So, what is your opinion of a woman who rides a motorcycle? Do you have certain criteria or opinions about this subject?

I have one word for it "COOL". I myself want to have one for work. I really don't mind seeing girls riding motorcycle. The cost is cheaper instead of riding jeepneys or LRTs or cabs. Really, it's very practical to use this mode of transpo, it will minimize our daily expenses and most especially, will MINIMIZE heavy traffics. =)

I think she is very cool if I see a woman riding a motorcycle. In lots of movies ,women are plannen to sit behind a man. The man drive too fast and people all think he is very cool,even some fans will love him only for such a charming scene. I think it is also cool,if a beautiful girl rides a motorcycle.And for working women ,it is a cheap and fast vehile. When I see some women driveinga car,I envy her very much. I feel she is very indepent.

Personally I've always just been a passenger on a motorcycle and have never ridden one myself. I don't see anything wrong with a woman riding one - why not? In fact I've always quite fancied having a go myself but just never got round to learning.

I know many women who ride motorcycles. One friend of mine recently got her own. She has grown tired of riding behind her husband all these years. She is quite proud of this. Me personally, I do not care for riding. Not something I enjoy.

My impression is that, riding on a bike is like riding a horse. I also imagine myself as a knight fighting against some evil guys. I am kinda like a heroes. Riding on a bike is cool.

I don't really see why not. Many things that men would usually do are now being done by women, and nobody really finds this strange. In all honesty, whenever I see a fellow female on a motorbike, I find her cool. Some guys would even refer to women on bike as "hot chicks". Haha. Just be careful on the road. There are a lot of motorbike-related accidents. That's actually a more worrisome issue here. Happy myLotting!

I think it's FANTABULOUS or simply said as 'COOL"! I've always wanted to learn to ride a bike but my parents were against it and now my hubby is super against it. I've ended up learning how to drive a car... I've seen so many cool babes riding a motorbike and felt a very strong urge to have a go at it. At least a scooter, I once begged my Dad into allowing me to get the feel.... However, till now, no such luck...Sigh.... I'd always love the Scrambler.....Nice!!

Once a person gets interested in motorcycles they never get over this. A couple of years ago I was teaching at a school and it had a new headteacher aged about 50. One morning I arrived at work and saw someone on a motorcycle. I was so surprised when I found out it was her. She brought her crash helmet to assembly. The children loved hearing all about her adventures on her motorbike. Some staff thought she was silly to ride a motorbike because she had a car. Others thought it was quite cool of her. Personally I think the clothes a rider has to wear a bit heavy and I am concerned about safety. I like to see all motorcycle drivers/riders staying safe on the road.

When I was younger my dad would take me on his motorcycle all the time. And I loved it. Yes the street is very scary these days. The people have no respect for the bikers. Just be careful out there and enjoy yourself.LOL

i love looking at women on motorcycles. it is inordinary but exciting. it just makes someone cool- that's just my opinion. well, for some, i assume the find it immoral. i know some who judges a woman in a motorcycle as someone who isn't well-bred or that sort of things.

I should not be answering your post, because I'm a she, but just like you I love riding the motorcycle too. I think most men find it cool. My husband thinks I'm sexy whenever I ride my bike.

I think girls on bikes is fine if that's what you like :) I always wanted a bike myself but i never had the room to ride it around or anything so i just didn't bother & went with a car! I still want to be a mechanic though which i guess is something that's similar - women on bikes or women fixing them & cars - not terribly common but i think it'd be a GREAT job to have! If you're comfortable on a bike, then i think it's all good to have one, for me though, having a baby means i kind of need to have a car!

i think that women fascinating motorcyclists are a lot. here where i live they are many and have a march in more regarding the pedestrians if not other because they go faser.
