    Newsflash, you’re cool because you ride a motorcycle. No way are you frumpy. But more importantly, you are cool because you’re lovely, honest, and self deprecating in a very pleasant way. You are not flashy, with an over exaggerated ego, and not desiring of the most outlandish, expensive gear. Please don’t change, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your practical, sensible attitude towards owning and riding a bike. Stay safe and take care. 🙏

    I’m not sure if this isn’t spoken in the female biker community, but all of us are cool badasses. We share a common risk & recognize that people who decide to commute on a bike deserve respect. There is no “cool” category of bikers. There is a bad category & it’s rather difficult to find yourself in that company unless you’re complacent. You’re good in my book & I ultimately thank you for bringing awareness to a style of female riding that isn’t spoken about enough. Keep the rubber down

    Biggest problem is the way the media portrays people on motorcycles. For guys it's always rugged and cool. For girls it's hot and sexy. When it's none of that.
    My bike has been my daily for 5 years now. Maybe at the start you'll look cool. In your nice clean gear, but the more you ride the more functionality takes precedence over form. When it's 100+ outside and your bike is 220 degrees at a stop light. You won't care "how cool or sexy you look." imo it's cooler that you actually ride and don't just bust out the bike for Tiktok or Instagram shoot.

    I'm listening to this and everything this girl is saying makes her cooler than the girls she's describing. The fact that the bike is her only mode of transport and riding it in all weather makes her more of a real rider than anybody who just does it for show. If what you're doing is for show, or you're only proud of something expensive, you're just a poser. What this girl is doing is having a real preference for the motorcycle and mistaking that as lame while thinking "what you look like" is the important part. No; being genuine, that's cool. Don't be a poser. You're a real one.

  • @pedrocoelho5562

    True. Can confirm! Girls in a bike are way cool, potato looks are nothing compared to showing willingness to: try new things, go on adventures, hang out the guys without calling us abusers or creeps... Who cares whatever reason got you in a bike , you are now a rider and one of us long after you stop being on a bike!
    Commuting in foggy heavy rain days, or during first rains of a season with oily slippery roads, or with ice on the road coming from nowhere all of a sudden while riding in freezing winter temperatures, is as cool and death defying as any stunt rider just showing off.
    All The Gear All The Time is SUPER good mind-set and shows responsibility and accountability, helmets with tinted visors are for people that like to look cool more than actually being smart.
    I prefer to have a helmet with double visor to use when I want it - retract it when entering tunnels and underground parking lots, keep putting it on and off wherever the sun gets in my eyes or not in a normal ride.
    Some of those "cool" dudes that givers you that "fraud syndrome" and which perceive themselves as much "cooler" riders are the ones that are not that cool as they frequently doing some vlogging or random idiotic crap to even do the most basic rider thing, to greet other riders - specially if they are thinking they are too good to greet riders in lesser powered bikes.
    To all guys out there, if you are on 2 wheels you getting a hand sign or a nod from me even if you are in a mopped delivering food.

That's me, on my 2019 Bolt, doing the journey to work 30 miles away via the hwy at 110 kph at 7 AM. when the temp is about 10 C outside and it's raining..... Me : all blacked- out, except for the pin stripes in a few spots on the wet skins jacket on a blacked out bike, doing 110 on a wet highway, lol. A feeling that only a biker will know.
    The bonus of this is , at the end of the ride, the rain-gear comes off, and is stowed in the side bags if the weather behaves and the sun comes out and its warm enough to ride home looking like a regular....
    Oh, and btw, ...... My helmet does have the pop down dark visor, ( It makes me look like a fighter- pilot actually....), and is a bonus to have when you are riding fast in the direction of the sun in the afternoon.

    I've been riding motorcycles for a couple of decades & have never seen a "hot chick" riding a motorcycle, although I've seen plenty of female riders.
    And, as someone who also rides full time, and has 4 motorcycles & no car, I can definitely relate. I'd recommend strapping your bag to the passenger seat over a backpack though. It's a lot safer & doesn't throw the balance off when you're riding.

    Protip to save on insurance/payments but still have a part-time 4wheel option for bad weather:
    Get a JDM* car under the 25yr import rule. Preferably one with AWD. Hiace are great value and utility. But there's also some nice cars.
    Most of these can be had for 10-25k depending on cool factor, especially if you aren't obsessive about needing a manual (automatic $5k price bump).
    They are also generally very well maintained. Japanese don't drive everyday. The dedicated sedans are all going to be garage kept.
    The most basic Toyota is a luxury, not a necessity, with Japan's #1 train and bus system. Their biannual roadworthy inspections also mean the cars maintenance is flawless up til the point Americans imported it.
    Just get it looked over by a mechanic before buying because some of the importers are shady asf. But the problem cars will be obvious.
