My ex-husband built a world around his bike, one of the reasons he's my ex, btw.<br /><br />And, as for being yourself, I've have said many times that one of the very few benefits of growing old (older?) is caring less and less about what others think of me!

I was fascinated by the two sides to her personality. If you look at her she seems rough and tough but then she also has a girly side the becomes apparent when she dances and gets into assembling her costume. If I was to see her on the street I would have never guessed the second side.Carma Sezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897159620671834070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058548553330112542.post-15723274733892774712009-10-05T20:08:50.083-07:002009-10-05T20:08:50.083-07:00ummm i lurve luurrrve harley's, but theyre so ...ummm i lurve luurrrve harley's, but theyre so noisy. i drooled, literally drooled once when doing a shoot at Kount's Kustom's (motley crue, ozzy, etc.) i fantasize being a tough rocker biker chick with platnium records a hot actor husband rockin the guitar in front of thousands. but alas... none of the above.<br /><br />i agree with you 100% judging a book by its cover will get you no where with people. best to at least peek into the book first.MaryRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885722336155612196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058548553330112542.post-59619396121723005502009-10-05T19:47:51.512-07:002009-10-05T19:47:51.512-07:00This is so true.

But I know that not all bikers do that, nor do all SAHMs volunteer, not all BMW drivers are snobs. You just never know about anything.<br /><br />I try to teach my girls never to judge a book by its cover in all aspects of life.

They have their biker friends over and hang out in the garage drinking until they all roar out late in the night. I've joked about their suburban clubhouse. I've cursed under my breath as they've screamed out while my baby is (trying) to take a nap. I've wondered what they are trying to *prove*?<br /><br />Thanks for making me think about my own stereotypes. I shouldn't be judging (except when his Harley wakes me up every morning at 5:50am when he races out to work - then I'll judge all I want :D). Because darn it, bikers are people too. <br /><br />Thanks again, Tammy.The Grown-Up Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345769609538869681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058548553330112542.post-78520408872550433922009-10-05T16:34:51.932-07:002009-10-05T16:34:51.932-07:00That was fantastic!

Judging people by their "covers" is never a good idea, but I will readily admit that I'm guilty of this fairly often. Thanks for reminding me that there are good and bad people of all types. And hurray for you and Tom for just enjoying the bike - as Tammy and Tom. I always feel more comfortable when I'm just being me and not trying to fit into a mold. I do think this gets easier the older I get.

But I'm just me & if I feel like wearing something else on the bike, then I do. Trust me it's nothing unusual to catch me on the back with whatever I wore to work - capris, jeans - I even wore a skirt once or twice. (Don't ask.)<br /><br />Stereotypes are just bad in general. I definitely don't fit any mold.
