Top 10 reasons to ride a motorcycle. by: Men 10. Pussy 9. Pussy 8. Pussy 7.... The thing that I find really interesting about that; is I never even thought about that aspect before I started riding a bike. Seeing the reaction of women to me getting off my bike and going into a store has been awesome. Cool little fringe benefit that I didnt know about. I'm a decent looking guy and will catch chicks checking me out every once in awhile. But when I go out riding, its damn out of control. If I didnt have a gf, i could be raking in an obscene amount of pussy, its ridiculous. I asked my gf about the phenomenon and she was like "duh, bikes get girls wet." |
Riding has done absolutely nothing to help me gain the attention of women. At least that I've noticed. However, coming from a long line of engineers, my absolute inability to notice women flirting or coming on to me may play a big part in that. 
Seriously, though. While I ride solely because I love riding (my truck sits 350+ days a year, literally), the idea that it gets you women is a myth, far as I'm concerned. |

Same here, but no degree...just the ENGR mindset. 3 cruisers (1 baby Yamaha, 1 Sportster, 1 current Street Glide) and 1 crotch rocket (FZ1), no woman has expressed the slightest interest.

of course I mean chicks

Organ Donors. As long as they're not forcibly donating any of your organs, what difference does it make? As long as they are not suing th city for bs stuff like faulty traffic engineering after a crash, which raises my taxes. As long as their medical bills do not cause the insurance companies to raise rates on everyone. Then I don't care. But when their irresponsible actions lead to my taxes or insurance rates going up then it's my problem. |

This is hardly a fact and saying so is overly dramatic. It may be factual that some people have been "organ donors" after motorcycle accidents, just as some have been organ donors after car accidents, boat accidents, atv accidents etc. You're risk is higher, sure. That's life when we step out of the house, take on challenges and do things. I, along with hundreds of thousands of others, rode for decades and still have all my organs intact.( ......... wait, where's my ...... oh, there it is. We're good.) |

How about the elderly? How about idiots who text and drive, eat and drive, etc? Ban motorcycles! Save society and lower taxes! Do it for the children!

This is hardly a fact and saying so is overly dramatic. I had no idea this would strike a nerve with so many. Please accept my apologies for my insensitivity. I worked in hospitals for many years where ER staff frequently referred to motorcycles as "donorcycles". It's also my understanding that fatalities per mile are significantly higher for motorcycle than cars/trucks. I freely stipulate that many of these accidents are the result of an inattentive driver. Again my apologizes and my best wishes to all for safe and enjoyable riding. Jane |

Jane [/quote] Oh, no offense at all. I admit I responded with a bit of frustration to that 'organ donor' moniker that I have heard often enough. It's possible your perspective from an emergency room has helped to create a small bias with respect to the pastime. Like any endeavor, be smart and be safe. Do this and riding a motorcycle can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience with all your organs in place and functioning normally.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I believe that japanese girls would be drawn to an american on a bike, but aside from that i would not believe it unless I actually witnessed it. And I don't mean some random event, I mean a genuine statistical increase in attracting women Everything that men say about women is generally either a lie or exaggerated to the point of being a defacto lie. The only way to evaluate it would be to take a sample set of completely average looking guys and track their hit and miss ratio on and off a motorcycle. |

I have seen women breaking their necks to look at me when I'm riding and have had women approach me to talk on numerous occasions. You get the "eye" all the time. YMMV. That doesn't happen in my car.  What kind of car are you driving? A Toyota Celica isn't going to impress many women. I grew up on motorized vehicles since I was tiny. I had go-carts, motorcycles, 3-wheelers, 4-wheelers, if it had wheels and an internal combustion engine then I've had one. I raced motocross from my early teens until I was 21. Girls love the way I drive. I have a truck now but when I was younger and single I only had sports cars. My first car was a 3000GT VR4 then I had a few Ford Mustangs that I put a lot of work into. I drove one of them straight off the lot then took it all apart and had 520 at the rear wheels when I was done. Girls would just want me to take them for a ride on the highway, my driving is smooth and fluid, I can usually anticipate what the other people on the road are going to do and act on that instead of react after they actually do it. My driving is an art form that girls go crazy over. My driving is a lot like how a bike rides, more fluid and flowing. Bikes have that raw power there at just a flick of the wrist. There's just an appeal there and it's the same reason that a lot of guys ride them. I'd love to have one but I'd kill myself. I have an addiction to adrenaline and I love speed which is a bad combination to have on a bike. If I were single, I'd probably have one but I've got other people to think about now besides myself. |

Organ Donors. Funny, I've been riding for over 30 years, and haven't donated an organ yet. Yeah, but there's no comparison between getting in an accident on a bike and in a car. You get in an accident on a bike you're 14 times as likely to be killed. I don't really think there was any reason to bring that up into this thread, but that's the reality. |

Where I ride a motorcycle, there aren't any women to see me. Or, for that matter, other motorcycles. Guess I'm doing it wrong, but to me it's not a fashion show or a status symbol. I wanted to be Steve McQueen riding the Baja 1000, not Jack Nicolson looking rebellious on a gaudy chopper. I ride because it's challenging, because it's fun, because riding a trail or an abandoned road at high speed on a bike can't be approximated by anything else.  |

The people who don't have any insurance are the ones causing your rates to increase. |

It's too common of a car. You have to do something to catch their attention. My mustangs had enough cam in them that they sounded like they were going to die at a stoplight, you could hear each individual cylinder firing off. They were disgustingly loud like a stock car at NASCAR. They drew attention to the girls that were riding in them. People noticed when I drove by, nobody is going to notice a stock Camaro. That's the problem. |

I love my 1980 Honda Goldwing... But this is pretty accurate too.
