Hi, new topic
When I put my "full protection whether gear" ( boots, pant, jacket and big gloves
) There someting that I noticed. Car's around me seem to be, let's say..... a lot less cooperative
Obviously whit all that gear on me I look a lot Less feminine. and it happen only when I wear all my gear. And when I'm not wearing all that stuff cars ( well mostly guy's ...lol
) pay more attention and they are more cautious.
Has this ever happenned to you ?... share...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

not necessarily pink, but there are certain cuts and styles to leathers that scream 'woman rider'

Raux beat me to it! If you don't pink, I guess you could go with purple.
I've never been out without at least a jacket and a helmet, so I can't say I have ever noticed a difference.

have you been watching "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?" how would you even notice the cut of a jacket at speed?

Some of the women's cut are aggressive enough that you can tell... due to mostly the shape of the hips/waist.
Generally, the tighter and more fitted it is the easier to tell... and who am I not to suggest that girls shouldnt be wearing more skin tight leather anyway
haha
for example:

Ever notice that bikers with tattoos, 1% badges, colors, beards, beer bellies, etc. get lots of respect from cagers? If respect is what you want.....don't let them 'push' you around
