Is that brandy new tires in the snow on a really heavy bike riding two-up?

it is. :eek:

To be fair, it wasn't supposed to snow, it was only supposed to be rainy and cold. Ah, meteorology... :iiam: We'd planned this trip a few weeks ago, had the tires delivered to a friend who owns a mounter and balancer, and thought we'd have a nice ride to and from Austin to get new tires.

After we got to Bridgeport on Saturday, the flakes started falling. The heavy snow that actually stuck to the ground was over on the east side of Dallas. The ground in the Bridgeport/ Hurst area was too warm for anything to stick, and it had rained all morning so the pavement had been well rinsed.

Today, I helped my lady roommate buy her first motorcycle. She had been wanting one for a while, and we happened to become roomies this fall. I infused her with my enthusiasm and she's now in the process of learning to ride through my Ninja 500. She wanted to snap up a bike just as riding season started, so we found this and she got it for $1,650.

A 2007 Ninjette with 6xxx miles. It has a crack on the front fairing from a drop, along with a broken-off right turn signal and a shattered windshield. Otherwise it looked marvelous from my inspection and the Muzzy exhaust was sweet (I'm so jealous). Now my girlfriend has a lady buddy rider :)

Personally I find a woman who has and rides her own bike 1000x more attractive than just any chicka who complains about helmet hair when she has to climb on the passenger seat.

Am I the only rider who doesn't find women who ride appealing? I mean, it's great that my g/f rides, I love that she doesn't give me anything but mild poo poo when I crash, or care about the fact that I love track riding and spending my evenings in the garage.

But the fact that she rides? :iiam: I'd swear that side of my brain shuts down entirely when I go riding.

I'd have to agree. Any girl who rides get's at least 2 points on the hotness curve. (IE, a 6 will jump to an 8)

There's a girl around here who is selling her Ninja 250 because she doesn't ride it enough. She's hot as hell and I called to convince her to keep and it to just ride with me :D She brought up her fiance :(

You assholes should be happy I'm not stealing from your extremely limited pool of extra attractive women.

And putting out is way more important than riding. Besides, just like anything else, it's best to find a cool girl and then get her into video games and motorcycles. :haw:

Give it a year of showing her cool photos from the road, and showing up to meet her and her friends on your bike, then you've got a fair shot of getting her interested.

You see?? Perhaps I am too old at 36 but basically I don't want to convince anyone of anything but to have a woman who is already into bikes and gaming.

I am going to have to agree. I used to smoke and I know that many dudes that smoke find girls who smoke appealing. To me, it just meant less hassle. Same with motorcycles, my wife would like to get a motorcycle someday and sort of actually likes that I ride, but it isn't a turn on.

On the other hand, not being able to deal with my love of motorcycles would be a deal breaker.

I was thinking about what Tsaven Nava said and I don't think that I find dudes on bikes extra attractive either. Maybe ya'll have fetishized motorcycles?

My reptile brain doesn't consider women who ride automatically hotter then their non-riding counterparts. It doesn't even care if the girl's leathered up or not, it's all the same.

However, I have noticed that most of the hot women who ride go full hog and race or stunt. What the hell is up with that?

Maybe there's something wrong with me, Nanny.
The fact that a girl rides a bike is hot and a girl in motorcycle gear is definitely hot.

But, a lot of girls look really silly on their bikes. Posture is stiff and upright, at a stop they have to go on tiptoes just to keep from falling over, their helmet too large for their bodies. But yeah, few things are hotter than a girl on a bike who knows what she's doing.

Hey, maybe they see a hot rear end on a motorcycle, and they just go for it. Regardless of the hardware in front of it, and this is the way they compensate. :v:

Today I taught my roommate further how to ride. She learned to go into 2nd, and upward and downward in the gears. We rode around, with me on my ex500. She's happy as poo poo, and she absolutely can't wait to move on from her POS Jeep to the 250 (needs license plate n insurance). She seems to wear the helmet right:

I got my new bike! Yay! It's an 06 636 Ninja with 2000 miles on it. The PO put a very mellow muzzy exhaust on it and apparently left it in his garage for a few years. It is amazing to ride compared to my 500, so far it hasn't got uncomfortable at all. In the pic you can barely see my 500 and my buddies zx-9r in the background.

Before I picked mine up I rode it around for two days straight and never felt any pain or uncomfortableness at all. Between that and the powerband it really changed my perception of supersports.
