Ooooh....what an idiot!

My first reaction is to always be pissed at the "you're fast..for a girl" type comments. But for the most part I laugh them off and let my riding speak for itself.

I'm not the fastest out there, but I'm sure as hell not the slowest and I'm smooth and consistent.

I most often see this as guys swarm to get out of pull offs/gas stations etc a head of me then I get to ride their ass the whole time. If you are faster than me, by all means get in front or I will be the first to wave you on. But damn it if you are going to slam the breaks in every corner, I'm going to get annoyed.

I really used to experience this while on my Ninja 250. I wasn't slow on it once on a twisty road and many guys just couldn't take a girl on a "slow" bike being in front. I had trouble passing them in straights though cause that is when they would gun it. Sucked.

I am the same way. It's not about egos and estrogen though, it's because if you get held up in the corners it spoils the fun!!!

nope, I have nothing to prove to anyone but myself....I generally only ride with the same 2 groups of people and I know every one of them outside of riding too so there is no stupid 10yr old BS of who's faster than who between the guys or the girls.

All I saw was 10yr old.

It's really tough to get out there and try and be betty-bad-ass when you get your butt handed to you by a 12-year-old. Personally, I know what fast looks like - and what slow looks like - and I don't really care what category other people put me in.

I've been owned by too many people at the gap that was unexpected that I don't care who is faster than me anymore. Shane and his busa is ungodly fast, Suzy and her motard is just a blur, that really old man and his KTM are halfway to jupitur by now. I gave up on ego a long time ago.
