I thought that the women here would totally appreciate this story...

My 6 year old daughter was looking at her dad's sales catalog that he got with his new pro grip goggles. I hear her ask "Dad, what does this lady in a bathing suit have to do with motorcycle stuff?" I want to blirt out the obvious,(men are ...) but she's 6 - AND, I want to see how my husband handles this one. "You see Honey, she's wearing a motorcycle jacket so she wanted to be cold to see if it worked" :) .

Do men ever wonder if these women know anything about the tools that they show the women "using" (scantly clad I might add) or the gear they wear?

I just thought how out of the mouths off babes, the truth comes...

Well, tell her the truth!!!!
"It's an advertising trick that makes men buy motorcycles"
"Women who ride always wear safe clothes and helmets" :) :)

:p
She seems smart enough to make the question so she's smart enough to understand the answer!!!

Yeah, I got the same thing from my kids when they saw some adds in Transworld MX. :) That opened up a good discussion on modesty and self-respect. :)

I did explain it to her, but I thought that it was funny that a 6 year old could see right through the stupidity of it.

Why do you think the women pose in bikinis for advertisers? This is why, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! Case closed. But I do agree it does send a wrong message in today's society.

There are a lot of things I could do for money that I don't because of my moral belifs.
Kangaroo, that wasn't a shot at you. I am just surprised at the way so many girls act. They will do anything just to get attention and it is very sad to me.
I'm impressed that your six year old saw through it!

well I don't know what catalog you guys and gals order from. Everytime I order a new set of gear they ship both the gear and the girl to me. It is totally realistic, and also makes me look and ride much faster.

Ok wait a minute, are you trying to suggest that the woman in the Progrip catalog don’t actually ride in a g-string, Next you’ll be telling me that the Snap-on tool girls are not really mechanics! I mean what’s next, where does this madness end…. is Santa Clause, and the Easter Bunny simply marketing tools designed to encourage us to buy more, spend more and eat more? Are TV show little more than lifestyle awareness campaigns designed to sell clothing, water, and vacation packages to LA, the OC and other perfect places;)

We know these women don't know anything about the stuff they "using", and we don't care! Why would we???

You won't have to break the news, some smartass in school will do it for you. Then you'll just have to answer this question: "mommy, Billy said there's no such thing as Santa! Is there a Santa mommy?". Then you'll just have to tell her/him the truth. It's not as complicated as I thought it would be.

Hmm, so telling her, "Dont you worry honey, Billy is adopted and Lies to make up for the lack of love in his abusive home, because of this Santa is afraid to visit.. thats why he does not believe in Santa", was not the right approach to take?

I had an older sister and brother, I don't remember EVER believing in Santa or EB....

I don't suppose the intellect of the average dirtbiker could be part of the lesson, eh?
