Why do people stare at bike riders?
 

...are people always looking at you at a stop light or in a parking lot as you're getting off your bike?

It's weird...beautiful day today so I went out for a ride...as I was waiting for a green arrow to turn left....the car to my right had a green light but it wasn't going anywhere..I look over and she's staring at me and the bike...same at another stop light.

Getting off my bike to go into Wawa, lady in a truck is watching me take off my helmet and like watching me..lol.

i was dressed up in boots, gloves and race jacket.....feels like people look at bike riders like some special breed of people..lol....as corny as that sounds

"people look at bike riders like some special breed of people"

You're damn right!

They just think you're a sexy bitch!

hmm...a few reasons maybe? a guy wearing gear riding is definately hot....not bein able to see what he looks like is mysterious/attractive...i know before I started riding that I wondered what it was like so I would look at someone out of curiosity in what it takes, what its like, etc. and just ponder...maybe admiration of their bike/gear. just a few thoughts...

werd...something about a helmet with a tinted/mirrored shield on it...looks mysterious..lol.

that must be it! lol

Last time I was out on a ride was I think back in 2001 for a big ride thru Allentown....was kinda scary going into town for the first time in a while...but once I was out it was cool....I'm thinking about getting a bike come spring now...maybe a used Busa?

Busa? Where you gonna go with that thing?[/enter Italian smilie doin hand gesture thing] Steve, get in here...

what'chu mean where am I gonna go?

Steve's still at work...wont be around till 8:45

If not a busa then probably a tiller like Steve's.

Or a new sv1K :nod2: :D

I used to catch people staring at me all the time at red lights, I still have no idea why? :lol:

Mirrored shields are great for scoping out the punani. ;)

SV1K is nice...but not a fan of a naked bike...if I didn't get a sportbike...I really like the M109R

Would I sound corny if I said I felt kinda cool on the bike...lol. Although I still need to drop another 20lbs or so for my bro's jacket to fit me better...i mean it fits but a little tight...could be a little looser. Steve's like 205-210...I'm 235.

Or kids on a school bus...you creep.

So, just slap on some full fairings...my SV when I got it ;) Sold 'er to a guy in OH.
