Warning :
Unlike the vast majority of articles on our site, this new section does not only report information, it leaves a certain freedom, even a certain freedom, to the thoughts of its author accustomed to the literary world who will publish under the pseudonym Vernon Stoner.
Here, we relate, of course, but we also extrapolate, we speculate, we construct, in short, we discuss and exchange!
You have the right to respond in comments, to correct, to proclaim your indignation, or, at worst, if it really gives you heartburn, to change the section...
Are you still there? Little curious people, go… Come on, gaaazzzz!
Article in 3 parts. Part 3 the January 15 21H.
It was planned to combine everyday bikers with those who compete, but I had underestimated the enthusiasm that this survey would cause. The mass of data to be processed is already considerable, I will talk about women pilots in a future column.
PART 2/3
The women who whispered about motorcycles…
We get straight to the heart of the matter with the question of the welcome given to these ladies. So, rather “red carpet”, or rather “dog in a bowling game”?…
9. How are you received by the bikers around you?
38,7% : In the top
35,7% : Alright
14,2% : Cool
6,6% : Fucking flirts
4,3% : Ugh
0,5% : Macho assholes
10. How are you received at a dealership?
37,1%: Très bien
23,5% : Cool
20,7% : In the top
11,5% : Ugh
5,1% : Macho assholes
2% : Fucking flirts
Starting from the immutable principle that there will always be a bad-mouthed individual in a pack, I believe that in this respect, we are not bad at all! 11,4%, starved and dreary combined, that's a lot less than among the average male population, right? Yes, yes, I'm sure of it! Yes guys, Joe Bar Team represented !
On the other hand, 18,6% mixed reception, or even worse, at the dealerships, leaves me wondering... Hey, ladies, perhaps try to inform these ladies well and consider that they are customers like any other. If one of them likes you, don't worry, she will let you know. Otherwise, she just wants a new bike... But can we really blame a dream salesman for trying to take advantage of his position to seduce a beautiful biker girl? After all, you know, ladies, that in dress biker you are irresistible and the average guy will have difficulty curbing his base instincts. Come on, no hard feelings, eh?
11. Have you ever had an accident?
58%: Yes
42%: No
This question is for informational purposes only. I don't have the figures for men and, in any case, I have no desire to talk about it. The mainstream media does this very well. Ride safe!
Special mention to: “ Yes but nothing serious, except for the private garage door "And" I mowed the lawn, you can't change the reputation of Hondas "!
Biker spirit, when you hold us.
12. Do you tour?
61,1%: No, but I would like to
28,3% : That doesn't appeal to me
5,8% : Rarely
4,8% : Yes, often
13 Do you ride faster or slower than the guys on the road?
43,9% : I follow the rhythm while remaining careful
43,9% : I ride at my own pace without worrying about others
7,1% : I beat them up
5,1% : I always drive with a large safety margin
14. Do you ride faster or slower than the guys on the track?
88%: I don't do track
6,4% : I ride at my own pace without worrying about others
3,1% : I follow the rhythm while remaining careful
1,8% : I always drive with a large safety margin
0,8% : I beat them up
15. How do men who are slower than you react?
55,8%: Well, I wasn't in good shape and my tires were broken...
37,7% : You tear up too much!
6,4% : You girl, I won't even talk to you.
First of all, I am addressing the trestles and other motorcycle demagos. You can comment as much as you want, yell that driving fast is a useless heresy, that the road is not a playground, and argue all you want to justify your right-angled tires, it won't change anything to history. On a bike, we wear out a minimum, we often get confused, we sometimes flirt with the limits, and it's not a stupid game, it's just the mind. You are free to only address the useful aspect to avoid traffic jams, but don't bother the Bikers because, ultimately, it only bothers you...
So, the girls, are they gaslighting or are they at a standstill? Even if 88% do not do the track, more than half would like to get started, which demonstrates a certain desire to wring the handle with dignity. Unsurprisingly, caution is still required in all circumstances. I say “unsurprisingly” because it is common knowledge that, in the absence of testosterone in the veins, a living being tends to behave in a less aggressive manner in order to demonstrate that it is he who has the biggest… And then as Dacia sang, sorry, Renaud:
Woman I love you because
When sport becomes war
There are no girls or very few
In the hordes of supporters
A touch of masculine pride closes this second part with 55,8% in manly bad faith. There, on the other hand, I disagree to defend my peers. Because, even between guys, tongue-in-cheek (#JoeBarTeam) is more often used when you get taxed when braking than sincere compliments. In this specific case, ladies, you should not feel outraged. It's only the biker spirit that expresses itself through this way of avoiding recognizing that we've been made miserable! As to 6,4% cads, don't blame them either. They had probably argued with their companions just before. Or an unresolved Oedipus complex, I don't know... Or maybe just big losers, that's possible too, it's true.
16. Regarding mechanics, you are like:
53,5%: I trust my mechanic but I'm interested in it
21,5% : I am still learning
16,7% : I do everything possible myself
8,3% : What is mechanics?
I admit to being surprised by the answers to this question. I expected a lot fewer grease fans! Which goes to show that even a relatively feminist guy remains a bit macho. Especially since, although I have good theoretical knowledge, I myself am a fool when it comes to practical mechanics… Hats off, ladies!
