Are all girl offroad motorbike riders sissies?

I'm fed up!!!! I've had my offroad motorbike 6 months and I still ride like a girl (the fact that I am one I suppose has a lot to do with that)!

I am sick and tired of going chug chug chug everywhere on my bike. I watch all the other guys riding their motorbikes, including my husband and sons, zooting their way around and there I am, hidden in all their dust or cow poo, just depending on where we are riding.

I don't have the confidence to go fast or to stand while riding (this is imperative on offroad motorbikes most of the time). I don't have the confidence to properly jump jumps or lean the bike in corners. I don't have confidence, period! I was hoping over time I would get more confidence but I'm still waiting for it to arrive! I think it possibly has more to do with testosterone and I'm afraid I lack the equipment needed to produce that.

So what's the answer? Maybe I need to ride with a bunch of girls to see if this is a girl thing or if I am truly a sissie. Maybe it's an age thing, the older you get the more cautious you become or simply the fact that I haven't fallen off my bike yet, to see that it's not so bad falling off after all.

Perhaps it's just time to accept that I'm not one of the guys, never will be and take up knitting!
