Any lady riders get yelled at?

[buttset]

I saw this article about a guy who had long hair, and had a girly painted helmet. He said several
times drivers had pulled along side and yelled or acted out thinking he was a women rider.
One rolled down his window and said he was going to get out of his car, and beat you till you
can't stand, you B word. The guy took off his helmet and said ok, we better get started I got
to be at work, in a 1/2 hour. The driver took off making a left turn. He said this had happened
several times in the last 3 years.
Have any ladies, found some men, aggressive acting, while you ride?

He said it made him think, women, get treated different, riding motorcycles, than men sometimes.
I have had a scary incident, in my car with my family, inside once.
Truly glad I was able to get away, from a weird driver.

Does that mean you are going to grow out your hair?

Only happened once to me but let's just say, it did not last very long nor was it very loud.

Very interesting article. Thanks for posting. Funny how weird folks can be when they are cooped up in a cage and think they own the world. As Jessie Waters (on Fox News) says "This is Waters World and I am Waters and own all this."

I asked my better half who rides a wing and a dual sport if she had any experiences like this and she said no.

Re: Any lady riders get yelled at?

I remember once when the wife and I were riding (on separate bikes) and some guys were talking on the CB about her. They didn't know that my bike had a CB until I told them that she was old enough to be their mother...

Girls often make passes at me. I shave my head so men don't. But I just don't blame the young ladies, Can you?

Re: Any lady riders get yelled at?

I read that article and found it puzzling. I have been flirted with, whistled at, and told I had a nice sportster....it was a 1993 FXLR Low Rider Custom, dumb butt. But did have one time a guy to yell at me and give me the finger. I had not done anything wrong. He was just mad at someone and wanted to take it out on a female riding a Harley. So, I told him to pull it over if he was not afraid of little ole me....He did...I pulled out my badge... and he got back in his truck....!

Skeet I think that's it he was wearing a painted helmet and some mad cage drivers
did try to take it out on what they thought was a female rider. Where they might not
have went after a male rider... that was what he decided was what was happening.
