Women!

I think more non-biking men find a bike + woman sexy than vice versa.

Possibly because if a woman isn't into bikes already, then she's unlikely to find a lump of machinery 'attractive'...

... but a bloke is more likely to just be turned on by a nice bit of tail in leather.

i agree

I love the way women eye you up on a bike even though they have no idea what you look like (I'm handsome by the way, if a little rough araound the edges!)!!!!

Interestingly, I went to pick up my wife from the pub last night on my bike - she'd been out for the evening with some old work friends and although she'd got the bus there I didn't want her getting the bus back late at night (aaah).

She heard me arrive outside and they all came out as all the others were going back home in their cars and they hadn't realised until that point that she was going home pillion and all of a sudden there were 6 women crowding round saying, 'ooh, is it fast?' 'Do you get scared on the back?' 'Ooh I'd never let my husband have a bike' that sort of thing and although they knew nothing about biking they were all interested cos it's 'a bit different'.

I'm not sure any of them would have immediately jumped in to bed with me but it certainly created more attention than if I'd been sitting waiting in a car!

Cheers,
Matt

i've found that most people are like 'woah bikes are good'. dont really know of anyone that doesn't like to see a nice bike go past, but then again i know a considerably small percentage of people in this country

i think it is a pretty sexy image, maybe not conventionally but perhaps it also gives off vibes of the rider being fun and exciting or whatever

but then again that could be a load of trollop brought on by the remains of a pound a pint

and when it boils down to it, if it suits the wearer...

"Tail" - lol

We use "flange"

Any time I've been approached by some "flange" or spoke about bikes in the boozer in the company of flange. It's always the same - bikes are cool but leathers are sexy

EDIT: Just remembered. Out in South queensferry one day last summer with my mate. Me on K6 in blue - him K6 in "Silver/blue". Chatting to some women who said mine's was a cool colour but his was "a bit girly". PMSL. Neither of us were as as cool as the guys on the rr's and ninja's though.

Being a college man, I can speak from experience...My girlfriend loves..well loved to ride with me until I laid it down about 6 weeks ago and broke my ankle. I'm all mended up and riding again, but she doesn't want to get back on. Too bad for her. Anyway, before I was strapped down it seemed like every other female friend I had wanted to experience and ride on the bike. Now, I realize that it probably had nothing to do with the way the bike looked...I can't help that I'm incredibly good looking for a short guy, but all things aside the only kind of girl I'd ever be interested in would be the kind that would want to hop on the bike just for the thrill. If she's not a thrill seeker or at least willing to try something once, then she's not my cup'o tea.

P.S. As far as the "off" goes, it was my first. Just had a mental blank and downshifted without rev-matching before going into a corner. I had to steer it off the road into a soft grassy ditch. Only cosmetic damage to the bike, already repainted and fixed up and running strong as ever!

well i am female and love bikes. have done since teenage years, that was mostly to annoy my mum though. used to go pillion with a variety of mad pals. have my own bike now and dont like going pillion anymore.

I like looking at bikes and hearing them but unless the name is written on the bike (thank you fireblades) I dont know one from the other and have no interest in being able to name them.

I doubt just having a bike would attract the opposite sex unless they had a vague interest in them. boys seem to be more interested than girls.

But helmets are a great advantage for all the crockadilly swamp donkeys out there as they cover your face. giving you a chance to talk to a girl/boy whereas if you were in a pub with face on full show, they would probably be beating you with a stick lol
