Yeah, guys never crash while showing off.

[desert1]

they should'nt

Well they shoudnt, scooters are more there speed and mopeds. The weight and power and dont forget the height of the bike are limiting factors, let me see a 100 pound woman pick up one of these beasts! .....OK, let me go and get my flack jacket on LOL

Ahem...

ummmm... yeah...




Girls on 1100s... guys on 450s... I don't know... what do you think midnight?

[trbig]

What about a 100 pound woman on a TWELVE hundred?? (In stiletto heels no less!!)

would emasculated men qualify to be girlie enough?

and she doesn't look like she weighs 100 lb more like 200...

[trbig]

Well... she has a heavy jacket on.. she isn't much over 100 pounds.. and that's Wildkat..

Wow.. did you just not make some friends...

Here's the same day from behind...

Would rather ride my hot rod XS without breaks than get caught saying something like that

skill most important to riding,
size/strength help to a smaller degree

hey, i'm not sorry i said that, i call it like i see it,

thanks for the picture of the back, she looks a lot lighter, it was a big jacket,

but were's the gloves, oh good she doesn't want to box me.

No gloves, they'll mess up her NAILS!

Gary(66)'s SWMBO Dena is a very good rider in her own right, handling a Triumph Trophy and running roundup on the rallies!

I've seen many guys requesting to lower their XS's so that they can reach the ground!

And I'd bet there are a quite a few guys that couldn't lift it back up if it fell over, without help!

I've met some damn fine looking women over the years riding bikes and some of them were on big twin Harleys. This women on bikes discussion is about 40 years behind the times.

I'd say the chick in this video was just plain stupid. After all she was speaking French...

i like french women, i don't discriminate

everyone has foolish moments, protective gear helps us live to talk about it.

[Wildkat]

Sure... why not...

Gender has nothing to do with a person's ability to ride... midnight dumped a 450... so that tells us something right there...

and mason... nobody asked for an apology... maybe some tact would be good... but whatever... we don't expect much.

and Tod... ol buddy... ol pal... it's an 1100... but it still kicks it pretty good... as for me... we'll leave that one alone...


and T.C. I've worked hard to break my nails to this length... I'd really hate to mess that up... you are SO right!

[mason79]

sorry wildkat, i have never been accused of having tactics,

i apologize, i must have hurt your feelings and i'm sorry, i didn't know it was you, otherwise i would not have spoke my mind,and that's the gosh honest truth.


but i should have put 2 and 2 2gether, and figured out, women, this forum, and wildly painted fj1100, duh....

i had one of those, nice bike, now go out and pull some maintenance on it.

[Wildkat]

It's all good...

I didn't get that torqued over it... but I certainly did appreciate Tod's guess more than yours...



I'm actually thinking about taking the FJ out Friday night to the local races... don't know if I'll have the nerve to get it out on the track... but little steps... I REALLY want to see what it will do... have had it to 145 but it's been awhile and that was on a local road with other vehicles around.
