If by manly they mean suicidal then sure....
An interesting fact is that here in Aus men actually are 4x more likely to commit suicide than women.
They must have been onto something!

I'm also going to ruffle some feathers and have to say the only thing manly about most of those old school motorcycles is the guys being brave enough to get on them :p

Not a fan of the look of the old bikes and have always found them pretty comical, being brave enough to jump on one (to face the sniggering and laughing) is the manly part to me.

Both my Dad and Grandfather would shake their heads in shame at me though :p
They restored an old Norton.

If your confused by the statistics quoted, its just something someone brought up at Uni from the Aussie statistics site.
