Ok...this is for all you cool chicks out there who ride...just wondering if this happens to you very much...
Last week, I took the bike to the dealer for a look-see at my rear tire which seemed to have a slow leak. Since I didn't want to sit inside in one of those boring dealer lounges, I'm standing outside by the service entrance, wandering around, stretching my legs, & just basically killing time waiting. This dude rides up on his loud, black Harley & is also waiting but he's talking on his phone so loud...as if he wants everyone around him to hear his conversation...which I don't. When he gets off the phone, he walks over to me & starts hitting on me. I start texting on my phone & trying to ignore him but he just keeps on talking to me! Even turning away from him doesn't deter him. I go inside the office & start asking questions of the guy behind the counter & Harley-guy follows me inside...still talking, trying to get me to go look at his bike, asking me my name, trying to give me advice, etc. He gets another call, goes outside, talks a bit, gets off the phone, starts up his bike as if he's going to leave, turns it back off, comes back inside & starts talking again. While he's outside, I tell the guy at the counter to keep talking to me & maybe Harley-guy will leave. At this point, I'm thinking, WTF - what if he tries to follow me when I leave? I'm a very new rider so it's not like I can do a burn-out, flip him off & peel out of there while he eats my dust.
Look, I'm not paranoid & I don't mind some friendly conversation but I was alone & it kinda freaked me out. I felt like he crossed the line & I felt afraid to leave especially since he was all done & basically seemed to be waiting while I finished up. Do any of you chicks have concerns like that about riding alone?
