two or four?

the above title refers to wheels. two or four wheels? motorcycles or cars? we shall leave out vehicles like vans and such if any of you guys going to argue with me on the definition of four wheels, for this piece of crap i'm writing, let's restrict it to cars.

now, what spur me to write this is the mentality of girls these days. i wouldn't want to stereotype and typecast all girls but let's say the majority ok? nowadays, a guy riding a motorcycle is deem as 2nd class and not as sought after compared to one driving a car. bikers are normally ah bengs with low education in their eyes, immature guys who can't let go of their toys and grow up into the safe haven of a car. i beg to differ.

i've been riding for 5 years come the 29th this month and that marks half a decade. Am i uneducated? I'm an undergraduate. Am i an Ah Beng? i speak good english. Am i immature? At times for the fun of it but not of life. But apparently, i would say, educated girls dun see it that way. We see riding as a hobby, a lifestyle, not just for the thrill of the speed. But we've been rejected in more ways than one. It seems a motorcycle is never good enough. And to find girls who are accepting to bikes, we are limited to the younger, more adventurous ones or those who has the same hobby, just that these are a handful. So my question here is that why can't the general public see it differently? see us as equals? and my question being what's the fuss over motorcycles on safety? granted that we are the frailty of the road but it all depends on the rider. And what doesn't constitute a car to be dangerous? Look at those with smashed hoods, overturned and in the drain and those in the ditch. Did anybody think about that? I don't think so, to them what are the odds of that happening. But ladies and gentlemen, it's ever increasing.

Let me just end of by saying give that biker and his bike a chance. You might like the feeling of riding, the scenery when riding. Like someone(i have no idea who) said, driving is like watching a movie, riding is being in one. Be in one to know whether you like it.
