As far as woman-impressing factor goes, an ST is like a 2/10 I think.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

American scooter rider. In Europe a scooter is almost as much of a chick magnet as a tiny moustache or smoking cigarettes.

*edit*

Wait, you're saying he rides scooters, right?

While I agree that a bike can be a "chick magnet," keep in mind it's the BIKE and rarely YOU. Think it through. You're a nasty, smelly, grungy, bug-splattered gently caress with Nick Nolte helmet hair, sitting by yourself in a faraway bar where the most current track on the jukebox is Hey Ya! by Outkast. No one is riding off into the sunset with your loner rear end, unless they have a death wish, outstanding warrant, or seven teeth.

The only time a grown woman noticed my VFR was when she pulled me over in a speed trap.

Although I did have an 8-year old girl take a photo of me riding from the back seat of her dad's car once. I'm thinking she probably showed it to her friends and laughed about the ugly man on the bright yellow bike. :smith:

I got a nice compliment the other day. I had stopped at Best Buy to pick up a router on the way home from work and while I was standing in line with all my gear on, helmet in hand, she smiled at me and said I looked like a superhero. It made me feel pretty good :blush:

An unrelated note, riding a white bike has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that people think you are a cop and pull over out of your way. The disadvantage is people think you are a cop and do not pull over out of your way choosing to slow down to 10 below the limit.

Your bike has great synergy, FYI. Let's circle back and roundtable. Assets and whatnot.

I've caught women checking me out while on the bike, but if they say anything, it's almost always about the gear. Probably the best compliment I got once was not directed to me, but to my wife. One November, a couple of years back, I went to vote. Most of the voting volunteers are retirees, but there were two pretty good-looking women there. They didn't say anything other than "hi" and a smile, but unbeknownst to me, they were friends of my wife. When she came in later to vote, they were talking about the "hot guy in all leather".

The only women that have cared about my bike have also been riders so it wasn't going to gain any points or whatever.
My usual attire is faded to pink jacket, yellow helmet and beat riding pants and boots so I can't even pull the super hero look off.
A friends boyfriend once called my jacket badass because it was so beat looking. Guess that almost kinda counts.

I think the point is that the sort of person who is sexually attracted to bikers is attracted because of the person (or at least the idealised version of them). Nobody's going to go "Well I was going to gently caress that biker but I've just realised they've got the base model Panigale, not the R".

It's like someone who's attracted to nurses isn't going to go "Eh actually they're only a phlebotomist". (A terrible comparison but literally the only one I could come up with that didn't gross me out)

Yeah, and they're a surprisingly common fantasy for women. But so are sports bikers in one-piece leathers, so there's that. Nobody fantasises about Sam Browne belts though.

Not a buzz for me. More like the Nazi soldiers in Inglorious Basterds, short and slicked back.
