Bikes Are For Girlz

-


This is one of my favorite shirts to wear while riding. Although I am always a bit anxious to wear something that conveys any sort of cockiness - I guess it is a karma thing. I am always cautious to refrain from any sort of arrogance because I believe it always comes back to kick you in the ass.I wouldn't look so confident in that shirt if I dropped my bike at a light or bumped into something while negotiating a tight turn in a parking lot. And then of course being female, I feel like I have to prove that I can ride just as well as a guy with the same level of experience. Which I am fairly certain I can, despite not having a scantily clad counter-weight on the back.

Ladies - ride often, ride safe, ride with a fun shirt! Because topless just isn't the way to go at anything over 10 mph.

Ok...that bike is just freaking sexy....but I agree, even 10mph without a shirt could pose to be a real problem....What kind of bike is that?

Much much sexier than my 4-wheeler, that's for sure..but I think I can keep up with any guy on it as well.

Have fun, ride happy!

Confidence is feminine and sexy -- wear your t-shirt and buy more.

I understand what you are saying though -- somedays I think wearing any kind of pride emblem is redundant.

The season is fairly short here in New England Dykewife but we try to make the best of it. Unfortunately, it has been very rainy also making for a not so great riding season here.

Hey thanks OC. It is a Yamamha V-Star 650 Custom. I love riding it. I'm sure that 4-wheeler of yours is just as sexy, especially when it is passing the guys.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Janet. And I love your statement 'wearing any kind of pride emblem is redundant.' I'll have to remember that one.

LMFAO @ "topless just isn't the way to go at anything over 10 mph"!
It's no good if ones airbags have already deployed.

Your moto is looking pretty sweet there CJ! I think the new mustang seat adds a bit of appeal!

Now all it needs is you on it!

Very true John. Especially those of us with child size air bags.

Hey Blondie - Some hot moto chick gave me that seat for my birthday. I'm really digging it!

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:
