| | Own a motorcycle, and chicks will want to ride it. And not just chicks… but women, too There's even a notion among motorcycle fanatics suggesting that if you can get a chick on the back of your bike, you can get her into your bed. For the most part, this is true… or so I’m told. But for those who own a motorcycle be warned… it has nothing to do with you! It might make you seem more adventurous, daring, or crazy, but that's not why chicks like the bike. 
I was halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles on Highway 5 when a couple riding a motorcycle was keeping pace with my car. The girlfriend, who had been casually leaning on the backrest, out of the field of view of the boyfriend driver, suddenly lurched forward and grabbed him around the waist, squeezing so hard it must have hurt. If you've never ridden a motorcycle, I should point out that sudden movement by a passenger is a bad thing. I thought she was panicking about something. The boyfriend veered to the side of the road, flipped up the lid, asked her what was wrong. She seemed a little flushed, but said she was fine. They resumed their travel. Maybe thirty miles later, they caught up with my car and resumed pace (as time is measured in miles on a long motorcycle ride), she lurched forward again. This time, I wasn't taken by surprise. Though the boyfriend reached back for her knee to give it a comforting squeeze, only to discover she was shaking, as if she were shivering with cold. I checked the internal thermometer. Seventy-eight degrees. Not cold at all. Then I realized what was happening. She was having an orgasm on his bike. Curious. At first, I thought it was cool, maybe even a turn on. But as the ride progressed, worry set in. What if she only liked him for his bike? What if his bike was a better lover than he was? The horror! At night I had visions/nightmares of midnight trysts in the garage, my girlfriend straddling my motorcycle, revving the engine and crying out in passion while I slept, blissfully unaware. The next time you think of buying a motorcycle for the sex appeal, remember: It's just a big vibrator. Ewww….. Ahh... The attractiveness of motorcycles to women ... Being a woman, which I am not, I can only speculate. Let us say that you are a woman and have been ridding motorcycles for over 12 years now, you would have to agree that bikes are very sexy. Otherwise why have you been doing it so long? More sexy than street, however, is dirt. 
With a 250 XR under you, you can go as far as you want, as fast as you want. The adrenaline rush can be surreal -- sliding around switchback corners with 1500-foot drops, flying off washed-out sections of desert at 50 mph, powering up rivers through rocks and slime and mud, your heart racing, palms sweating, muscles tightening, fingers clenching, trying not to scream... whew. Riding not only empowers you to do things you could not otherwise do, lets you see places I could not otherwise see, feel the rush I would not otherwise feel. It allows you to spend hours and hours alone in nature, alone in your helmet, thinking about how wonderful it is to be alive. |
