i think guy's for the most part are thrill seekers and women are mom's. by that i mean, alot of women i have known wouldnt ride a rollercoaster where as almost all the guy's i have known would be first in line. women (not all but most) tend to play it safe in almost every case, men (again, not all) tend to forge ahead. it was Daniel Boone that went searching, it was Columbus that decided to sail off to see what was there, notice it wasnt Mrs. Boone or Mrs. Columbus. women have that nurturing thing that is always looking at the saftey issues in any situation. men tend to put their blinders on and GO, to hell with the consiquences. also women know that it will be them that picks up the mess and deals with the long term affects if (God forbid) something bad happens. they tend to fear the unknown. NOW you take a woman and put her on a Bike after formal training so they understand, and their whole thought process tends to change and become more accepting. notice, more and more women are rideing these days. by being taught to understand it and how to correctly operate this machine they tend to ease up on the fear factor. bicycles, they understand, becuase they probably had one or a dozen in their life, so they think of that as being ok...ie; hey i rode my bike over to all my friends houses when i was a kid, nothing ever happened to me and it wasnt that hard or complicated so it must be ok. but a Motorcycle, why that has an engine and go's fast and you read everyday in the paper about someone getting hurt, so it must be unsafe and bad. Where in reality. LIFE is unsafe... period!!!!!! ITS A MOM'S INSTINCT THING AND FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. well thats the way i see it hahahahahahaha its as good as any other reason and to me the only one that makes sense.
