Me, me! Pick me!!
Ha! I can assure you Dave, that I think it is doubly as hard for me to meet a man with get up and go who wants to get up and go. Especially if it means he has to be the pillion! Mwahaha! Trouble is, when I finally find someone who is of the same ludicrous travel habits as myself, will he love his bike more than he loves me? or vice verse of course! As far as finding yourself a nice 'traditional girl' (gag)... what on earth would you want to do that for?! Sersiously though, when I am not in all my bike gear and trying to find the right side of the wrench to use, I am feminine and wear earrings and perfume and everything. Once getting past most men's initial reaction, when finding out that I am a biker, of immediately asking if I wear leathers (and no, just for the reckord, I don't), the things that may scare men off are the silly insecurities related to knowing a girl who rides better than you do. HA! Hmmm, not convinced about the dating site option Dave - quality control! Grant - you may have to add 'willing to have a +1' onto the badges at the next HU meet http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/wink.gif ------------------ If you don't have bugs in your teeth, you haven't been grinning enough! |

The world is (half) full of ladies. If you take one with you you may come to regret your narrowed options at some point. Don't wanna sound sexist - substitute "men" for ladies if you're reading this and you're a woman/gay man. *sheesh* ------------------ Simon http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tstories/fitzpatrick |

There is a saying here in Norway which goes: "don't bring fish on a fishing trip"
|
I agree with Shells. Damn difficult finding men who want to leave the comfort of their homes. Sigh, men just don't seem to like roughing it...

I'm not looking for a traditional girl and I'm not the one night stand type of guy.
It seems like it'd be more fun to share the adventure with someone I could reminisce with since most people don't really want to hear travel stories. ------------------ Random attempts have been made at RTW on a '65 Ducati 250cc |
Nothing wrong there Dave.
Seek and ye shall find. But it will be more making it happen than letting it happen. Put all that fabulous energy into your trip! I agree with Wheelie (legend!), don't take fish on a fishing trip. Nothing worse than being stuck with someone on your fabulous adventure who makes it less fabulous. Who knows, you may pull into a camp site next to a fellow biker, put your tent up, all the while wondering how that biker managed to get his missus to do all the work putting the tent up and getting dinner on the go... only to realise... 'Hello!' http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/wink.gif |
Hehehe this is hilarious. But i know exactly how you feel Dave. I recently ditched my girlfriend (wasn't going to work anyway) to focus on my upcoming trip. I soon realised that:
A: Its not as much fun when you have someone else to worry about, and chicks cause worries (sorry ladies... see wheelie's list)and B: When you have someone with you you tend to stay in your comfort zone in social situations, i know that i do. Going solo forces you out to meet people and that is half the reason why i travel. Both sides have their good and bad points but if you say you have no trouble with the ladies then you have got no problems! |
What the hell is 'trolling'?????????
|
Oh, I have to agree with Stirlo regarding couples staying in their 'comfort zone' socially! They're a menace to the travel ethos of getting out there and meeting people! Can't remember the number of times I've pitched up at a hotel/hostel/campsite to find nothing but loved up couples ignoring the world!

Daveportugal,
I understand 'trolling' as writing a purposefully inflamatory post in order to illicit the maximum number of responses. E.g: "What bike should I get for my upcoming trip to Africa? My girlfreind has a BMW F650 which is nice. Is there something like this but designed for a man?" Matt |
I came to the conculsion that the best place to meet somebody special to go travelling with, was going to be when your actually travelling.
The odds are you'll meet them doing what you both want to do. ------------------ Cheers, Darrin NEW Moroccan Desert Pistes DVD out now: http://www.roamingyak.org/video/ |
Now, since the whole reason d'etre of travelling is to see other cultures, surely the problem with taking a partner on your travels is that you miss out on appreciating ALL aspects of the local culture?????????

Now Dave I was at Bobs the otherday, your little woman sitting lonely in the corner, her head off and carburetor hanging limply, VB can coverred airfilter still sugesting your return.....focus man other wise I will get someone to put that G clamp that was holding your carburetor together to come over and put it somewhere painful. Are the Buzzcocks winding you up you O.... Addict?
Nice one Matt C, but I thought it was a fair question. When you post it on UK GSer can we watch....while Matt R is trollin for the married amoungst us. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/wink.gif |
Don't lose hope. In addition to a motorcycle addict, I am also a long time avid flyfisher. Mom told me that I wouldn't meet a suitable wife unless it was in a river somewhere. I always joked that I couldn't be serious about a woman that did't look great in waders.
It took me until I was 35 to find her, but it was well worth the wait. She looks hot in waders, loves my bikes, and has a couple of her own. |
