We’ve all been there. As a woman, living with a mate can be hard; figuring out which present to buy, and listening to their nagging about why we don't get them.
Well actually the perfect partner is:
"A biker chick. Because They get YOU. And here’s 8 reasons why:
1. We Get Why You Like to Ride First off yes... we at least get why you like to ride, and that is half the battle. A long stressful week with that crappy weather requires a day or two on the bike heading, well, who cares where! And we accept that excuse to ride. 2. We can pack light You won’t see us biker girls pulling a two wheeled set of luggage plus a carry on, with an extra large purse, which doubles as another carry on! One saddle bag has our flip flops, a cute shirt, mascara, a change of underwear and socks. Our lip gloss goes in that small zippered pocket in our jacket. The other saddle bag has the tire gauge, metric hex, electrical lube (I found a mini can!) one tire pump, one bike cover and one pair of jeans.
3. We know who Rand & McNally is and how to use it. We have a decent sense of direction, even without the GPS turned on. Directional riding is actually what we prefer. Once off the highway, if we have to ride highway at all we connect those state routes that run parallel to major routes. If we are heading west and need to go north we actually understand that we will be turning right at some point! And I’m a natural blonde! Some of us still carry a map!
4. We are not afraid to be alone.
We like our independence. Period.
5. Cheap and Easy Date's
A great date is finding a little diner where the waitress calls the grill cook “dad” and the sugar come in those round containers where you can pour it and not the white, yellow and blue squares packet.
Ending the day by riding to an out of the way Godfather's Pizza Cafe near my Lake Home.
6. We’re Problem Solvers If the bike doesn’t start our left hand checks the position of the fuel (I believe this is the pet cock, and no comment here) as our right hand twists the throttle twice and checks the kill switch. If that doesn’t work we make sure the kick stand is up! (Yes, I’ve done that before). Don’t get me wrong i am no expert mechanic, but how about the choke, and we understand that if all else fails we have to remove the seat to check the cables to the battery! (And, yes this has happened to me too). How come that cable jarred loose from the battery after that off road gravel ride? Darn it... It Happens!
7. Even Our Accessories are Cool We use our cool looking vest instead of a purse. So you don’t mind holding it when have to use the lady’s room.
8. We’re Easy to Shop For Yes, I’ve got a lot of shoes, but when it comes to Christmas, Birthdays, and other holidays, I’m more likely to ask for a new helmet, a vintage Honda keychain or vest pin than some frilly feminine thing. I will shop for those items myself!
So let me introduce you guys to some of some best friends and mates you could find. The Biker Chick...
Go find your...
