Gender issues

Something which ocurred to me today...

I was just thinking about how much I like this forum and what great and knowledgeable chaps I have had the good fortune to meet here. At this point it suddenly ocurred to me that I have never yet come across any female members of this forum. Are there any, or are A7/10s a purely male obsession?

Two or three years ago, there was one woman asking for help in finding a good picture of an A10 to be framed as a gift for her husband.I can't remember if she was member or guest

She joined as a member, but was after advice on getting a nice print  for her partner whose dad had owned one.
I've met a couple of female A10 owners though.
Funnily, I opened this thread thinking that it was probably going to be a"Is yours a boybike or a girlbike?" thread. What does that say about me and my preconceptions?
Cheers,

I've yet to name mine.  Any suggestions?

Thanks to mike667, I went looking at the Tonup Houston website and came across this link. Within this link is a video and within that video is a woman riding a custom swingarm, '55, I think. One thing that interest me about the bike was the A50 top yoke. That makes it the only bike I have seen, other than mine, with this mod. (No play on "Mods vs. Rockers", intened.)

Hey, Mike, you probabaly know this lady, why not encourage her to join, we can always use a new perspective.

Good one Richard, shame she's wearing a Trihard jacket, or anything for that matter.

I know you meant, "anything other than BSA-wear". In case she's reading, I trust she understands that you were speaking in shorthand.

I think (you can't get in trouble for thinking) it was the hair keeper that did it for me. MMMM Leather.
OK I'll sit in the corner now.

[RichardL]

Agreed!

...but I thought you might have responded: "Yes, Richard, of course, that's it, shorthand. How perceptive of you to recognize that. Shorthand, right."

[muskrat]

Shorthand that's it. I'm usually talking lefthanded.
