“You ride your OWN?” (and other famous quotes)

Posted by Lizzie on June 6th, 2007

Questions and comments from people seem to come with the territory when you’re a woman motorcyclist. Here are some of the most common (and some ridiculous) ones I’ve experienced:

  • You have your own bike?
  • Your rode your own? (I heard this one a lot when I did the 900+ miles from Boston to Myrtle Beach)
  • Your man lets you ride? (could it be more insulting?)
  • Isn’t that bike too big for you? Don’t you want something smaller?
  • Can I ride bitch? (usually from some wise-ass guy)
  • Are you a lesbian/dyke/femi-nazi? (um, no-and that’s not nice)
  • You’re too good at parking that thing. If I didn’t just see you do it, I’d never have believed you parked it yourself. Now at first I found that comment a bit insulting, until…I witnessed many women at a bike rally having their husbands or boyfriends park their bikes FOR them in a tight spot! Puleeze, girls!
  • Will you show me your tits? um, you…absolutely not.
  • Good for you! -or- Go Girl!
  • Damn, you’re HOTT! -or- That is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. (these are favorites, of course! ha ha!)

Ladies, want to share some you have heard?
