Looks like you had a brilliant day Peter, I can see your cheeky demeanor won over the ladies!

Don't know why some people are down on Henry, anyone who escaped the evils of drugs and turned their life around in the way he did is a big winner in my book! And just look at his day job!

Yes who is that laughing policeman? They usually smile like that before they nick you... or after you've "fallen down the stairs" at the Babylon HQ Thumbs Up
Question everything.

Yes I does matter. Pete just likes having his photo taken with young ladies. I didn't see any fit young male models about. Maybe if there were more women bikers at these events (or in general) then the industry would change. Its not that we get fall for this sexist sh*te its just that we like the look of them. Nowt wrong with that.

Why do we the public always take the abuse on it? I didn't employ anyone to wear feck all and couldn't care less of they are there or not? Blame the industry. As Sabre said, there are no skimpy undied men wandering round. Would it be a bad thing if there were? I wouldn't care. Nor do I find male strippers/porn stars or whatever demeaning to men everywhere. Man or woman, it's just someone getting paid to do a job. If they're happy to be cold while doing it then why not? It's hardly worth getting worked up about.

Eyore, just for the record, i have the utmost respect for all females and act accordingly when i am in their company. I love life and enjoy it as much as i can. I asked every lady for permission to take their photo, and am a real keen photographer and if i can put a smile on my mates faces then i will do so if and when the opportunity arrises. Being a lady biker has many advantages. Im reading a great book by Zoe Cano who rode her bike across the USA and she got no end of help from fellow bikers on her trip. I bet i will struggle when i do this trip soon. Hey ho. Sorry if my day out offended Ouch

if you met Peter then you'd understand why they are all smiling and not scowling at him ....... he is a genuine really nice guy with a great sense of humour and he probably feels bad he has caused offence

I knew you'd all rise to Eyore's comment - same feminist bollocks every time a fit bird takes her top off.
There isn't a woman in the world who doesn't use her face/tits/arse etc etc to her advantage - isn't it funny though how all the women who say it's demeaning etc etc blah blah feckin blah are all pig ugly and have the dress sense of a charity shop kleptomaniac!!!!
It's the way the world is, get used to it.
Not really a major rant but am I the only one who gets pissed off with this stuff - if they were forced to stand there looking nice in tight stuff it would be a different matter. They're being paid for it - draw your own conclusions!!

No offended Peter, and don't for a second blame the lads for loving it.LOL Just wonder why manufacturers feel the need to reach their market audience in this way. Does that sort of marketing really impress bike buyers given their average  these days (40 plus as a rule)  who have 10k to 20K to spend on a toy?

Its not the women I'm blaming, its the neanderthal marketing people who are stupid enough to pay them.

So not the women who are more than happy to take the money and make a career out of it then?!
It's like this modern culture of blaming McDonalds and KFC for making people fat - instead of the people who buy their food and make THEMSELVES obese taking responsibility!!

I find a lot of it funny at the NEC. There are a some very attractive girls there that can carry off the poured in lycra look but a few needed a friend to say NOOO !!
 
Personally I don't think anyone does go or would not go on account of the girls. It's just an aside and usually after the first few I stop even noticing.
 
The physical attribute that normally sticks in my mind is how small top racers usually are. I know I'm tall but some of them are tiny even by small people standards.

That's unusual for Pete. He don't normally need much of an excuse to get his kit off.
