Does the vroom vroom make you wanna boom boom?
So I went away for the weekend with my daughter and her sister (half, no I didn’t have another kid in the past week). We were on an Island and I swear every time we got on the road we were passing more motorcycles than cars. There were a ton of them! Thousands (I learned later there was some kind of race thing going on).
Now I’ve never been much of a motorcycle girl. I once dated a guy who drove one, and I swear riding on his bike just about gave me a heart attack. It was terrifying! But then it was just a small little Honda. So really? I could have done without the bike. And over all I never got excited over motorcycles or the men riding them. (Though I must have a little because I named a character after that guy I dated and put a bike in the book Love for Sale).
Anyway, I never got weak knees over biker boys…until today. Some where between like the 500-600th bike we passed it all started to change. Seeing all the guys (every age) in leather and chaps riding big fattie Harley’s stirred something in me. And the way some of the men would have a woman on the back, her arms wrapped around his waist. It just looked so…hot. Or… maybe I’m just lusting after the Harley. Maybe I want to be one of those chicks riding their own bike. Hmm. Could be. Maybe that’ll be my first purchase when I get a six figure deal. 
How about you. Have you ridden a motorcycle? Do you want to? Do men on Harley’s make you wanna

Harleys are a wee bit too loud for me. I like quieter bikes, but still decently sized. :)
My bf (not the hubby; he’s been Paul’s biker bitch *eg*) is a biker. Still waiting for him to get his all fixed up… (Time, energy, and money have, alas, gone to other more practical things. *le sigh*)

Don’t ride myself, but there’s something about a bad boy on a Harley!
Friends of mine ride, and gave me the best line!! I just had to use it in my book, The Ride of Her Life. “You haven’t lived ’til you’ve slid a Harley between your thighs.” Oh, yeah!

Do men on bikes make me want to :hump:? No, straight guy here.
Women on bikes? Oh yeah. I like independent, somewhat oddball women. Her bike should be a Ducati rather than a Harley though.

Can’t stand motorcycles, nor the guys on them. Does absolutely NOTHING for me, except make me annoyed that they’d want to risk their life like that. (Yes, I have a good friend whose husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. No, I had no desire to ever ride on a motorcycle before that either.)
I just don’t like “bad boys” I guess. Never have and never will.

When I was younger we rode motorcycles all the time! Only one guy had a Harley and he was the one who taught me how to drive them.
It can be very hot to wrap your arms around certian guys!

Yeah, I definately want to
the guys on Harleys. I shared a Harley dirt bike with my sister when we were younger. But then I am a 
My SIL works at the local Harley dealership.
The guys I know who own motorcycles are not scary, skanky bikers. I know doctors, cops, firemen, and nurses.
But yes, there is something about a set of chaps, a leather jacket, and a full helmet that I find very attractive. I could tell you about the vibration from the engine, but some things you can imagine.

Seriously Lia, there is a huge variety of riders out there.
Nonny, I did notice how loud the Harley’s were. At one point this BMW motorcycle passed me and I didn’t even realize it until it was in my line of vision. It was so quiet. It was an ugly bike, but quiet.
Natasha, that’s a great line!!
Amanda, I do worry about the safety. It just looks so easy to fall over.
Rob, Ducati is a really sexy name for a bike!
Susan, there’s nothing quite like it. Wrapping your arms around them and leaning forward.

I admit it. I love a man on a motercycle.

Motorcycles are kinda hot. And yes definitely all kinds ride them.
Doesn’t Brad Pitt own a Ducati? I think he does. Oh yeah….
September 24th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
Brad Pitt, eh? Ms. Karen likes the Pittster.

Also totally afraid of getting on a bike, but think bikers are hot in a sort of crusty kind of way, lol. I photographed a biker convention very much like what you described two weekends ago. It was a blast. Some really funny guys and cool looking bikes.

Motorcycles scare the shit out of me.
And I never met a real life hot biker guy. But living in Florida, that shouldn’t be too surprising.
George Clooney is a hot biker guy, and he got hurt over the weekend riding his motorcycle. Scary.

My brother used to have a bike and took me out. Scared me something silly, and I’ve never ridden a bike since.
Weirdly though my current WIP has a biker so there is an attraction there. Must be all the leather…

My husband owns a Triumph (the kind of motorcycle(s) in Mission Impossible 2). It’s his third bike, probably his dream bike, too.
I’m interested to read Jaci Burton’s Riding Wild, since her hero is a motorcycle-riding govt. agent. Should be h-a-w-t, I’m sure!
September 24th, 2007 at 5:07 pm
Oooh that should be really hot, Jana! I’ll have to check out that book for sure.
And yummy. George Clooney.

My husband has a road king and we love it. This is the perfect time of year for riding. We belong to a group that rides together and it’s a great way of socializing also. There’s nothing like the wind whipping through your hair- or the big heeled boots you get to wear!

I’ve wanted a Harley since I could my first Schwin. There is something to be said for the vibe of riding a motorcycle. Natasha’s dead on with that quote.
Most Harley’s do not have that classic rumble right off the show room floor. The custom exaust can be added by the dealership to give the Harley, or any other bike for that matter, the ‘whet between your thighs’ growl when it thunders past.
Uh, um, yeah - I guess I have it bad for Bikers, or is it just bikes in general?
September 25th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Could RIDE my first Schwin… sigh.. back to work!!
September 25th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
uh, yeah.
