The other day I was waiting at a red light on my Honda CRF Rally. A man pulls up next to me, glares at me for awhile, and asks if my bike is a chopper. I said no it’s not.
Then he asks if it’s 2 or 4 cylinder motorcycle. I replied it’s 1. He responded “okay then so it’s a chopper.”

I didn’t even bother responding at that point and just starred blankly at him. He looked very prideful at proving me wrong lol.

It always seems that as a girly rider people, usually older men, must educate me on my own bike…..even when they don’t have a single clue about motorcycles.

Edit: Woops typo 1 cylinder omg, yes I know my Honda is single not twin 😭😭😭😭😭

I’m a very feminine rider, I wear cat ears on my helmet and my motorcycle is adored plush keychains of hello kitty and Labubu. It seems men like to try and school me on my own motorcycle……even when they clearly don’t have the slightest clue of motorcycles!!!!!
