Curvy Riders
 
This site has just been created and is specifically for woman riders.
"As it is the week of the NEC show there may be delays in approving new members to the forum"

lol, and there was me thinking it was a post for curvy SVs!

I don't get it, why restrict a site to women only? :?

I was just posting it up for Ed because she is trying to promote it and get members. Its says this on the site
"As mentioned the site and forum is open to all lady bikers within the UK, IoM, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland offering hopefully you will find, a unique, helpful and informative site, while offering a place whereby lady bikers can have their say without the lads butting in all the time!"

Actually this is about an MCC thats basically a womens only one. Theres Christian MCCs and theres gay MCCs and the reformed alcoholics MCC so why not a womens only one? After all theres a womens only racing team [feisty racing].

To me its just an extension of WIMA [womens international motorcycling association] and is no different to something like the Pan Clan which has formal rules over joining. I think we're so lax on the SV forum and welcome anybody we forget others arent :wink: :P :lol: :twisted:

And tbh there is some sense in it. I knew a few female riders that felt intimidated by some of their male mates/partners. Sometimes its simply just nice going for a ride without someone fueled by testosterone and the need to race everywhere or prove themselves - and to women learning when confidence can be an issue it can make a difference. :P :twisted: :lol: :lol:

But then I was part of the Canberra womens motorcycling group so I know how this can benefit by being organised. They actually lobbied ALL the dealers in Canberra to get deals on kit/bikes/services for their members. It wasnt blokes were banned - they were quite welcome on rideouts and meets its just the idea was to provide support to female riders and help if needed. :D
