Hi, new topic  ;D

When I put my "full protection whether gear" ( boots, pant, jacket and big gloves [thumbsup] )   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   [cheeky] ) pay more attention and they are more cautious.  ;D

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 airâ€"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:

Men's cut:



Women's cut:

'10 SFS 1098
'11 M796 ABS - Sold
'05 SV650N - Sold

this hanging off the backpack should pretty much cover it then:

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  [thumbsup]
