Yup. I used to ride a Norton Commando. Constant bad advice from total strangers. The first questions were always about engine displacement (must be a 500 cc) or whether it has electric start (surely you couldn't kick it over!).
But it could be anything. Writing, knitting, baking ...
I never ended up riding much after getting my license endorsement, but in my limited experience I’ve yet to encounter a motorcycle that cared about the gender of its rider.
I think that behavior starts on social media and leaks out. I don't get it personally. I hate correcting people about cars unless their mistake is going to get them covered in boiling coolant or something like that.
Also, these weren't corrections per se, just strangers walking up when I was getting gas or something and volunteering everything they thought they knew.
