Biker Chick?

A few reasons I am NOT and never will be a biker chick, motorcycle mama, etc.

I bathe regularly and thoroughly

No tattoes

No piercings (not even my ears, folks!!)

I have genuine concern about and take active measures to avoid helmet hair

I really swear VERY little

I have NEVER whipped off my shirt in a public place

I don't hang out at biker bars

I own NOTHING with H.D. emblazoned upon it

When I get off of my bike and remove my leathers, I am dressed in perfectly respectable, modest, feminine attire (in other words, I consider leather strictly as a type of protective gear, not a fashion statement)

One of the pockets in my leather jacket is reserved for lipstick and a compact

I would never subject Mr.Darcy to the humiliation of attaching ape hangers or tassles to his person

A few Reasons I love to ride my bike

The initial sitting on and starting up of the bike...mmmm.

The scents you encounter while driving and the ability to enjoy them i.e. woodsmoke, freshly cut hay, etc.

The roar of the engine and the force of the pull when changing gears

The indescribable feeling of freedom that comes when you're tooling along a scenic mountain byway

Curves. Just...curves.

Stopping in at some remote little country store to fill up with gas and grab a Coke.

Passing another rider going the opposite direction and giving them the two finger "hi" sign that acknowledges the universal brotherhood of bike riders.

Spending $5.00 on gas and driving 125 miles before needing a refill:0)

I am so jealous, $5.00 and 150 miles. Where do I sign up? Don't you love country stores in the middle of no where. I've always wanted to own one of those.

ROFL at your first list!!! I have some HD things...hehe

I bet it's not fun to get stuck behind a bull hauler though is it? lol Wouldn't like those scents. ;-)

And I had to LOL@the universal wave of bikers. There's one for truckers too, cracks me up.

Hey, it's almost been a month. I think it's reasonable to ask for a small update! ;-)
