GStwin.com GS500 Message Forum

along the lines of how do I impress the chicks (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10944) 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? :P

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:

Obviously, she's clueless about motorcycles or she'd know how much sexier the GS is!   8)   :P

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

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

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. 8)

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. :P

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

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...."

Quote from: MeighanTrue 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. :P

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...  :thumb:

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.
:cheers:

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.

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:

unzipped leather jacket, helmet on helmet lock, not on head, shorts and tshirt, all 10 outta 10 poser points.

Quote from: AR5ENALWe 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.

At least you would have a use for your "ignorant hand"  :P

When I got to your first post, AR5ENAL, I was just thinking, "Yah, my purple bike has them all goin' ga-ga...oh, yeah!" I'd rate it an "8".

Now, the pants I wear really get 'em going. And, they're inexpensive ($50)! Fieldsheer Carbolex overpants. I was walking into the grocery store and two teens were gawking at me and said, "Nice pants". I gave them a smile and they just smiled back with their eyes all lit up. Just to see how 'interested' they were, I purposely rode by them as I was leaving and gave them a little wave, I could feel their eyes following me through the parking lot, and verified it when I looked in my mirrors. Too bad I'm married...

Fieldsheer Carbolex overpants: 9

And my bike is stock. With the fender. I don't think they pay attention to turnsignals.

My bike gets me laid and such all the time and it even has crash scars.

I'd say the TCP fairing worths a 10, and the custom "suppousedly" golden but kind of greeenish paint adds a 7 at least. Chick points rule!!! :)  And no matter Katana shock and Progresives deserves only a 2, it could be potentially a -5 if she ever comes to notice how badly the stockers handle 2up. You know, no chick likes to admit some overweight.

Don't forget
Nice Mirrors: 2 for chrome ones, 1 for bar-ends.
Rusty: -2 per patch
Dents: -1 per dent
Small cool looking front windscreen (like Pablos Monster one): 2
Fatter rear tyre: 1
'89-91 GS: -2 (boxier, uglier)
GS500F: 5 (the look much cooler)
Colour coordinated gear: 3

I'd say color coordinated gear is a -2. Gear should match gear, but not the bike.

Hmm, I've heard opposite opinions, but as I am without ovaries, it's all second hand info.

Quote from: LauraI'd say color coordinated gear is a -2. Gear should match gear, but not the bike.

Nice to actually see an opinion of a lady....since it really only matters what women think.

Quote from: MeighanI 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!

In my single days I accepted a dinner date with a gentleman who thought he was using his bike to interest me in a romantic relationship...

...actually I used the dinner date to lure him into selling me his bike, a delicious Moto Guzzi.  Mmmmmm!

And no, there was no quid pro quo--I'd say that it was purely platonic, but where Guzzis are concerned there's always a little bit of bike-lust.

I kind of thought that getting a bike and being a chick would send guys running the other way, as I had said for years "dykes on bikes!"  But it seems to be the opposite.  I think that if I was still in my my mama stage that I could be getting me sum with my bike.  Just as I am checking out bikes and bikers I get many nods and conversations starters since I started riding.  And during my my mama years, I wouldn't have really cared if it was the bike or not, I just wanted to get laid.  Maybe guys think, "hmmm, an aggressive girl that wants to ride!"  or "this girl won't just lay on her back!"  Guess it can go both ways.  hahahahahaha that might have came out bad. :thumb:

:?

I think what's great is when I am buzzing along and I get those "omigod, it's a GIRL" double-takes. My little GS attracts looks mostly because it is bright orange (though the V&H doesn't hurt ;) ). Then the second glance is usually like  :?  when they notice a little hair coming from under the helmet and a slight difference in how my jacket fits.  ;)

I love seeing other chicks who ride and I love when chicks OR dudes comment on my bike. Sexy is sexy, no? :) hehe


OH, and Pablo, I think I saw your east coast twin yesterday on my journey! Don't worry, I waved to him.  :mrgreen:

Quote from: LauraI'd say color coordinated gear is a -2. Gear should match gear, but not the bike.

LOL, So I must get bonus points for looking like a big Denver Broncos or Syracuse Orangemen fan!?  :lol:

GS = orange
me = Joe Rocket blue

I origianlly purchased the gear knowing I had a yellow DRZ to 'contrast' but as it turns out, now I REALLY contrast my orange GS.  :lol:

Quote from: EklipseMy bike gets me laid and such all the time and it even has crash scars.

Oh yeah, my bike got me laid several times. The worst was at 85 mph...

So I got laid last week? I don't even remember it. I want my money back!

QuoteLOL, So I must get bonus points for looking like a big Denver Broncos or Syracuse Orangemen fan!?

Yes, you can get bonus points for that, UNLESS you are living in an area where those teams are popular. Then, I'm sorry to say, you lose points.

Laura

:lol:

damn this is getting complicated!

My wife just loves to see me on my GS ..... because it means I'll be gone for a couple of hours. :dunno:

my girl makes fun of me for wearing matching gear.  she says it's "cute", but in a dorky way.  but hey, we're both nerds anyway, me philosophy, her science and medicine, so i guess it works.

nope, everyone around here is either a Jets or Giants fan, so I am good to go with the bonus!  :thumb:

I think it's really tough to know in general what details women notice.

Example, my wife is completely oblivious to the style of wheels on cars.  I say "How can you NOT notice that?  It's a defining element of the car!"  She claims to never see the wheels at all.

My five year old son:  "Mom, that van is the same as ours except the wheels are different." :)

Of course, my wife also can't imagine that I don't care what purse she is carrying.  "It's the ultimate accessory.  It completes everything.  How can you not notice??"

My suggestion is find a girl you are interested in, ask her what she would like to see for a bike/gear, and if you are really interested go buy all the stuff.  It will show her you care :lol:  And if she doesn't care about any of it you saved some money, stress, and started a conversation.

Trev

You know a first date is the last date when you are asked "what are you staring at?" and you can't even bring yourself to pry your eyes off of the row of nekkid sport bikes that just pulled up outside where you are having dinner in order to reply "you didn't notice all those bikes that pulled in?"  :lol:

Quote from: tmckayI think it's really tough to know in general what details women notice.

We vary, you know.  ;)  I notice wheels instantly.  I like a neat, fairly stock package on a bike, with the modifications subtle and well-done if present; gear can match the bike or contrast, as long as the guy is wearing it and has shown some interest in not throwing on every color in the rainbow.

HOTTES  :lol:

What are they 12? 13 maybe?  LOL  :lol:
Scary!

As for bikes.. I notice bikes... Oh yeah.  Call it an obsession.  I stare at the CBRs, the R6 what ever it doesn't matter.  I will even look at some cruisers.. but-- not so much.

When we are out at lunch here in Boston I drag some of the guys I work with around to check out some of the rides.   :mrgreen:

I tend not to notice the little things at home though.  New curtains and such.   :dunno:   But I do notice things like a new perenial in the yard.  Go figure!

Bling-Bling... I'll have to find a jacket that doesn't cover my watch!

BTW.. the 500F could come with at least 35-45 points in the stock form!

Yeah, I know.  I was going to add a comment on how my wife and son do not necessarily represent a definitive gender analysis  :mrgreen:

Hmm, I'll bet the MDA ("mechanical detail awareness") among females that ride is generally higher than among females that don't.

That could work either for or against you with a bike-riding femme.  If you're a poser, you may get thrashed.  On the other hand, subtlety might pay off in a meaningful long-term relationship.

id have to agree with most of that, being the lead singer / lead guitarist for a pop punk/metal band has gotten me the most attention as well but i dont always attract the girls i want to date they are usually immature rebellious little snots who id rather send to some other poor soul. true it gets you laid alot but neither a bike or anything else but yourself will really attract a winner. I drive an old volvo as a daily driver and im about to start driving a 74 volvo 145 wagon if a girl doesnt mind my old a/c-less cars and my loud ass GS then she is a winner :) haha

Well what about teal paint with a manly pink stripe?

WHAT? :x

You got a problem with my scheme?? Its the manliest of all gs color schemes...

He said he met him. Meanwhile, you could TOTALLY tell that his head was photoshopped. hahaha. Thats funny. If those guys lived up here, we would have fun with them. LOL. thats too funny.
