my only bad experience of a male rider is my instructor on my test, he made it very clear he didnt like female riders n follwed me in his car...still p***ed him off when i passed. gloating moment for me. personally i dont think there is any difference in male to famale abilities, as long as u know ur limits n ride a bike to suite (not too big). i am quite a chunki lass n i can handle i bigger machine but i know my limits n ride accordingly. after all ur meant to enjoy the ride struggle with handling.
Micksaway behave, I just didn't want to stick my neck out too far being the newby on here!!
I have just got back from a lovely afternoon at the dealership, sat chatting in the sun and then a really nice ride home. I had to chuckle when my sister had to ask a man to move his bike so she could get hers out and he said "if you can't get out of there you shouldn't be on it" and he had parked directly behind her!!
