i was recently asked by a friend doing some research to describe what kind of biker i am, in relation to stereotypes and realities...this was my reply.. i'm the kind of scantily black leathered biker that some women hate because they figure i'll give ladies on bikes a bad name...but i never claimed to be a lady!
i'm also the kind of "biker chick" that some men find intimidating, because i usually know at least as much about riding and wrenching as they do..
i won't stand for people who pass me over because i'm female - patronizing me can be hazardous to your health! 
i don't wear makeup - i wear leather. i don't ride on the back - i ride it like i stole it. i exercise responsibility and the best judgment i can when leading my SCRC chapter as its 1st officer and road captain, but i only really exercise survival skills when it's just between me and the road.
i'll wave to anyone, and talk to anyone. i truly believe that everyone on two wheels is in it together, and i'll give you a chance to prove you're a prick before treating you like anything but my brother or sister in the wind.
being an accountant, i'm fighting against the RUB label - but i think at least a couple of people here have accepted me as a BAMF instead!
