chicks dig sportbikes.

[pantablo]

along the lines of how do I impress the chicks thread I'd like to relate a little story to you all...one that I found interesting.


When I first brought home my nearly new 2001 gs500 my [hot little single asian girl] neighbor commented on what a nice bike it was. Then I brought home the new cbr600rr...it was under wraps [bike cover] and she hadn't seen it for a long time. until one day I had it out after coming back from a ride...and she was GUSHING about how great it was, "oh my god its beautiful"...etc etc....she went on and on. it was striking...

then she licked her lips and grabbed her breasts...okay, that part was just in my head... :mrgreen:


just goes to show....

Got some pics?

I'm confused and disillusioned.
Please, please don't tell me that that size also matters.
Not in my case mind you.
It's just this friend I have.  He wants to know. :lol:

[R3d]

Obviously, she's clueless about motorcycles or she'd know how much sexier the GS is!    

[werase643]

let me think.....what is Pablo's wifes contact info.....
LBFM... this is good blackmail info :mrgreen:

[crash]

she just doesn't understand... naked is beautiful

I had a similar experience today (also with a hot asian chick)! I was riding with a friend who rides a red Ducati 750SS. We stopped at a fast food place (where she worked) to eat. When we were about to leave, she came out and complimented on our bikes (well.. mostly on my friends bike) with a huge grin on her face.

I'm happy with my GS, just wished it looked a bit sportier...

Thats part of the reason I got the faired '04. :mrgreen:  Serioulsy, it ain't about the engine, chicks mostly go for bikes that are "curvy" and look great, i.e "look fast when standing still". I'm not referring to biker chicks, of course, 'cause they know the deal.....and yes, this is experience talking.

If a girl "wants" you because of a your bike, then she is not worth having. Yeah, the bike may be an initial conversation piece but she will drop you in second for the next ride that comes along.

Have not had rear foot pegs or a rear seat on a bike in over 4 years, took them off shortly after buying my TL. Plus having gf's that ride is a little different.

I comment on guys bike's quite often... but you know what? That doesn't mean I want to date them or sleep with them, it means I want their bike!

True enough, I don't think I could date a guy who doesn't ride, but having a nice bike is more like a prerequisite, not an instant win.

We're not talking Mrs. Right. We're talking Mrs. Right-Now. having and keeping are not the same....

Sorry to disappoint. Size doesnt matter, if its big...

I can just see it now, someday down the line...  

"Well, I really liked her, but I dumped her when I realized she only wanted me for my bike...."

and does the gs qualify as a "nice bike"?
i used to think i was riding the gs to get better, then i'd get a "nice" bike that i "really wanted". after riding it a lot, i realized just how nice the gs really is. i'm gonna keep the gs at least one more summer w/o getting a new bike.

just wondering either way, no judgement no matter what.

Usually when i'm riding the girls that I attract are young girls.  Old enough to drive obviously.  Then again nowadays i can no longer tell the difference between a 17 yr old and 25 yr old  :dunno:

One chic even tried to give me her number while at a stop light.  She was cute but I politely declined.    - idunno what the hell i was thinking.

Typically guys on sport bikes attract girls that are into the "racer" mentally.  They have the need for speed just like some of us guys.  I still get looks and smiles riding on my bike, more often than I would get when i'm on my SUV.

Yeah, fair enough. Maybe it is the been there done that and I want more than a one night stand.

Interesting that I have a hard time dating someone that does not ride. Then if she likes track days...

Bikes are cool, but:
Singing in a metal band has bought me the most attention.   If that's your goal, learn to scream without destroying your vocal cords or play guitar or drums. Far more women are attracted to that, i'm pretty sure. Having played in a couple of other musical styles and having ridden a bike for about two years now i can definitley say go metal.

Funny, I don't get looks from girls at all on the GS...well, not that I notice anyway.  Maybe it's because my bike doesn't have tail plastics and is sporting a flat black tank & purple fender.  It's beautiful, but in that ugly industrial, pure functionality sort of way that most girls just don't find very appealing....grrrr...where did I go wrong?

Hm...once I finish my paint project, and bolt in that Jardine pipe, the chicks might start flocking....but then again, they might not. I just don't know...this is all so confusing.  I wish there was a concrete way to know ahead of time how much my hard earned money and time was going to make the girlies feel.

Here's an idea, we could start rating mods to the GS based on chick-appeal.  with 0 being totally repulsive to the fairer sex, and 10 being, well, 10 being hotter than Johnny Depp doing the macarena on the surface of the sun.  I'll start:

Srinath Handlebars - 4 (pretty sexy position.  ass sticks out more.  looks sportier)
Exhaust System (any) - 6 (big chrome pipe.  phallic.  loud.  this is machismo people.)
Progressive Springs - 2 (she'll never see them.  what's the point)
Katana Shock - 2 (girls don't care that you swapped a shock from a *different* bike)

We could build a huge database of these, and that way future generations of GSers won't make the mistakes I did and modify their bikes with an ignorant hand.

OK then how much does purple paint add... and each bike will ahve a score of how much ... and someone when they sell can sell a 95 GS500, with 10K miles and 45 chick points... and then you know what your'e getting in terms of overall bike.
Cool.
Srinath.

[AR5ENAL]

We could ask scratch how many chick points the purple paint is worth...something tells me a uniform colour is worth more than individual pieces.  I have a purple fender, but since nothing else on the bike is purple, this may actually be hurting my chick appeal. :dunno:
