Chicks on Bikes

what i was saying is their are people that specifically like bigger (fat) people. and some people dig the i don't shave my armpit types of women (read french) some people don't like the skinny women with blonde hair that look like a barbie doll
 
uh, I didn't see any ugly chicks on there?

are you all afraid of what a REAL woman looks like?

one of the things I love about my wife, is she doesn't wear makeup and isn't afraid to get dirty and wears blue jeans.

if I had to deal with a pamper princess for more than 20 minutes i'd fucking shoot myself (or her)

looks like everyone had a good time on the ride!

So if a female actually works on her appearance, she isn't real?

Yup, that's real progressive :laughing

I don't know what the hubub is about here. I looked at the pics and thought "oh" and found some other thread :dunno
 
It's a mix of real women. Just like real people everywhere, they don't all look like supermodels. Maybe the title raised false hopes? That said, some of them are very pretty! The negative comments are disappointing.

Like they all said - everyone is going at a very slow walking pace, the motorcycles are very carefully spaced, there are barricades and police. It's more like parking your motorcycle for a mile and then getting off. Creep forward, feet down. Creep forward, feet down. Creep forward, feet down...

Lots of videos of Dykes on Bikes SF 2009 up on YouTube...

LOL I was watching the video and didn't expect to see the scooters~ :ride :p
 
Checking out the pics, I thought they looked like they were having fun and wondering what bikes they all rode, gear they were wearing, and it looked like a great day to have that group ride, etc.

....then I read through the posts and thought sheesh, some of you folks need to have some fecking class. Who the feck cares what they look like? They enjoy the moto, just the same as everyone else. Isn't that why were (most of us anyway) all here?

Then I started thinking if that was your mother or sister on that ride, in those pics, would you say the same things? How about if you actually there, would you say those negative comments to these ladies? Don't bother answering, it's a rhetorical question.
 
the photog's two bits

As the photographer whose photos helped kick off this thread (which now seems to have drifted over to Dykes on Bikes), I'd like to come back to the motivation for Christina Shook's, the OP's, posting - that there was a ride, a book-signing party, and a good time was had by all. "All" being mostly women riders.

I asked Christina why, if she wanted to dispel the stereotypical conflation of women-riding-motorcycles with the bikini-clad-butt-in-the-air of an Easy Rider cover girl, she chose the title "Chicks on Bikes?" Why not, "Real Women who Ride Motorcycles?" Yes, a few of the contributors to this thread were misled by the title, and expressed their disappointment in their own unique way, but you have to understand (as Christina explained to me) that the Ladies are free to call themselves whatever they want. As rider/artist Sasha Mullins (she's in Christina's book) put it, "Yes. I don't mind being called a biker chick and some girls hate it. I don't. Riding motorcycles and the lifestyle is something I cannot be without. The lifestyle is to be completely yourself -- as edgy as you wanna be. Real deal, watch your back, love and truth. I am a biker chick and proud of it."

I can't hope to speak for women riders, so speaking for myself, all I'd want is a little respect and understanding for what I love to do - ride a motorcycle. Beyond that, I'd like a little respect for being able to do more than twist a throttle. So, if you can't change a tubeless tire yourself, contact Jennifer Bromme at Werkstatt. If you're interested in racing, Alex Elinchoff can help introduce you to AFM. Want to get rid of those Working at the Car Wash Blues and find yourself an Executive Position? Talk to Tegan Hetzel-Dobbins, who's the president of the San Francisco Motorcycle Club. Or just plain out of a job and looking for work? Don't know if Mad Maps is hiring, but you can find out by sending Jenny Lefferts an e-mail.

Back to last Sunday's event, if you ever get a chance to ride through the City under the escort of the San Francisco Motorcycle Club, don't miss it. You'll never be happier riding a motorcycle. And if you want to show your friends what's cool about women riding motorcycles, order Christina Shook's book, "Chicks on Bikes." It's a steal at $25.

Cheers,

Bob

start brief rant:
it's seems that whenever a woman can be seen by a man it's automatically assumed that she exists for his attention/pleasure/judgment. as if, when a man is not present, all women go into stasis until they return- a sort of pause button. granted, some women do exist for attention (just as some men do) but eventually ALL women end up getting judged on looks. i know, i know, society over the millenia has set this up but it still sucks donkey balls and has created a damned if you do/damned if you don't situation (wear makeup = looking for attention, don't wear makeup = slovenly, reality = neither).

Probably the highlight of this thread. There is a serious double standard being imposed here, and the responses from some of you guys are absolutely pathetic.

Perhaps we should have a new requirement;

To post or make comments about pictures of wimmenz, you have to include a full body pic of yourself.

Post of a pic of you in a speedo, you nordic God!:laughing


I have to say I was a little taken aback by the pure vitriol of the posts directed at some nice ladies on their motorbikes.:thumbdown

Funny thing is I think you guys might have met before.

The moto community is very small and tight in the bay.

Hooli <-> ecruz <-> poma.

Yawn. Another one of these threads. I agree with the chick who said that a woman can't go anywhere and not be judged by every single man (and most women) who lays eyes on her as to whether or not she is hot. Or fuckable. Or an 8, or a 10, or a 2. I can see why entire cultures have made their women cover up, because this phenomenon sucks. The damned if you do, damned if you don't thing. I've decided to "do" and keep myself looking reasonably in line with society's expectations of me. Seems to open more doors. But I admire the women who don't give a fuck. I wish I didn't give a fuck. But I do. And it's exhausting.
 
There was a girl jogging near Farmer's Lane in Santa Rosa today wearing just a sports bra top and shorts. Even I was judging, and I hated that I was! "A little too much belly fat...sports bra not supportive enough...hope she's wearing sunscreen." A fat, average guy can go waddling down the street and no one cares. That kind of anonymity seems like it would be fun, but as a woman, unless you're very obviously post-menopause, you will never, ever have it.

tru dat!
 
Wow, looks like a great event. I would have fit right in, messy hair after riding, no make up, oh and I'm old too :thumbup
 
re: first like dozen posts
What. The. Fuck.

Best hide it well as you throw up in your mouth when you meet ME, boys-- or I'll help you choke on it.




Meh, anything that has "real women" in the title somewhere usually just ends up sounding patronizing-- I vote for the title "Bitches on Bikes" next.
