I would agree with that. I haven't seen many octogenarian leather
wearing motorcyclists. Women are supposedly biologically programed to be
attracted to a mate who has alpha male traits; higher levels of
testosterone, more risk taking behaviour, able to protect her and her
offspring, etc. I think it is possible that it is a societal signal still
that the man who rides a motorcycle is likely to be the alpha type.

Could be. I am only guessing too.
Rafal says: as to why you are attracted to women riders: you can
ride bike and screw at the same time. As to why you are attracted to women
while you are riding: pressure on the prostate.
