bikers v cagers

[Big Dan]

RIght i've been thinking about this for while

I've noticed alot of members on here bag cages and thoses who own cagers

I'm guessing that there would be a high number of members on this site that own cars Poll to follow

If you own cars why bag thoses that own cars too

Now i know there will be a few members on the site that wont be able to resist having a go at me for not even owning nor ever owned a bike ( you know who you are) I have my reasons for not owning a bike

Why is it if you just the very word Car on this site ppl get up and arms and think "oh no a cager" like owning a car is a illness. Yes i know its a bike site i understand that

Your thoughts would be great to hear

[Headbanger]

You have never owned a bike?

And now your questioning the mob mentality of KB?

OFF WITH YOUR HEAD AND INTO THE FIREPIT.

[Kiwi Graham]

I dont have a 'car' I have a fukin big truck, how else am I going to tow my boat to the boat ramp!!!!!!!!!
Ride a bike every day though!!!

[Headbanger]

I love my wagon, I love its big comfy seat, the heater, the stereo, the drink holder, I don't give a flying fat fuck what any internet warrior has to say about it.

[hogfire]

Why have you never owned a bike?

Bikes are just better than cars because anyone has a car. Owning a bike and being into bikes makes you different from others.

Also the amount of money you spend and the amount of bike you get is better than a car. You can buy a super bike for around 30,000. for a super car you need 100,000 plus. How can you justify the cost

[Slyer]

I lubs my car and my bike equally.
I have fond memories in the bike carving up corners and fond memories in the car with a carful of people and drive thru's. ;)

Also, anyone who calls them a cage is incredibly lame.

Hell yes.

[98tls]

Got a ute and a wee Mitsi hatchback,i use both of them regularly.Cant be bothered riding my bike in town,could never understand why anyone would want to.

Yep. +1. I think I pretty much always write "car" not "cage".

Geez. When I drive my Wife and two kids somewhere, plus luggage, it's just not gonna go on the bike.

I'm not gonna get a 10kg sack of potatoes, a big bag of rice, 5 million $ worth of meat and a dozen beers on the pack-rack, either.

Different vehicles for different things. Car for chores. Bike for fun, life, whatever.

(I don't even commute on the bike, either, as my Wife and her sister and I all go in the car...)

Ok looks like a few want my reasons

I can't afford to buy one let alone maintain one
the most important one is i don't trust myself and others on the road to ride one

[wickle]

when younger needed car for Saturday nite, bit arkward two on back seat of a bike.

[ducatilover]

Don't have one at the moment, don't need one either. When I start a whanau I will get another car

[Headbanger]

Nope, I'm not interested in your reasons, I was mocking you.

And now I'm itching to mock you for your reasons.....weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaak.

[Fatt Max]

I did have a car, but sort of outgrew it as you will see in the piccie, I ride a bike now.....I did like my car though, I used to do things to girls in my car

[Highlander]

Until Friday last week we owned a 2 wheeled Honda and a 4 wheeled Honda, now we just have the 4 wheeled one.

With 3 Teenaged kids we have needed multiple vehicles for quite some time, having said that I only get to drive the cars when the fuel warning light is on.

Haven't taken a car to work since buying a bike, Commuting on the bike is the highlight of my working day.

It does beg the question - why are you here...? :rolleyes:

You should ban him.:devil2:

[Mully]

We have a car.

The difference is the car is practical - the bikes are fun.

[nallac]

I sold my ute two years ago,wasn't using it, the bikes more fun.

The wifes got the family car for carting the family around,and i've got the bike.

It does make things interesting only have the one car at weekends when
the daughters got netball and the boys got soccer..

Currently got the bikes rims off for painting and new tyres.took the car to work last night for the first time in two years..I miss my bike.
will try not to let that happen again.

[74 knuckle]

I have two cars, a minivan for my five kids, a four wheel drive for fun, and work ( but more fun). Very hard to carry all my work tools on my bike, and a boat. Had a holden recently too, but thought it was time to go as the toys were mounting up. I love my riding but it's just not practical to ride my toys to work!!! I do find that being a rider and a driver I'm more aware of bikes whilst I'm driving!!!! Can't figure out why you'd be on a bike site if you've never owned a bike, whats up with that????:doctor:

[ManDownUnder]

Narrow minded bigotry and a want to create an "us" vs "them" mentality when perhaps we should all consider that we're all road users, motorsport enthusiasts, speed junkies, or off roaders.

[MSTRS]

...Can't figure out why you'd be on a bike site if you've never owned a bike, whats up with that????

A desire to live life dangerously? Vicariously.
Serious answer tho... There is a big difference in being a car owner/driver and being a cager. The term 'cager' denotes a mindset, not a transport preference.

i relate to that, we have 4 drivers/riders live here and i own 5 cars and 2 bikes

Arkward on the back seat of a car with the doors shut ...

[Blackshear]

Last two jobs I had insisted that I get a car licence... I really don't like driving them, but I do love them!

First one was driving the pig-bed truck and godknows what on the back, and the other was delivering groceries in a completely full van.

Just shit scared I'm gonna crash into something, cause I can't use my hands as whiskers :pinch:

[FROSTY]

Can I ask you what on earth you are doing on a biker site then.?
I genuinely don't geddit. You don't own a bike,you have no interest in owning one then why on earth do you wish to be on here? What do you get out of being a member of a biker forum?
This is a genuine question not a stab I really don't understand.

Yup coz horses for rootin's illegal!

[sunhuntin]

dunno what it is, but i LOVE that comment about the hands. it makes sense in a funny sort of a way.

for me... ive never driven or owned a car and never will. ive had several exes try and talk me into learning, but it doesnt interest me. strangely enough, i feel safer on the bike. when i go anywhere with the olds, its of course in a car, and i spend most of the trip white knuckled [specially if dads driving. worst driver ever.] im also a lot jumpier at intersections and find myself stomping on the non existant foot brake as a reflex.
thats one reason i left susan... she was such a bad driver. going to wellington was a nightmare as she would drift in and out on lanes at roundabouts, she wouldnt look before entering roundabouts and nearly got us involved in more t-bones than i can count. im talking cars that i saw from half a block away, she wouldnt see until i was yelling at her to fucking stop.

Or...where there's a will there's a relative.

I was under the distinct impression that a Harley Davidson was referred to as a "tractor", so would be quite suited to the task you describe...:devil2:

If he doesn't have a sprot bike in his garge, maybe he's here for the pron?

[GOONR]

Generally I use the wagon to move Mrs Gonnr and midget Gonnr around and just fetch / carry stuff (Normally Mrs Goonr's bloody shopping). I use the bike to move me around.

[Wannabiker]

A cage is darn useful for towing a trailer load of dirtbikes to the trailride...or the racebikes to the track. And you can eat a pie while driving a cage....:rolleyes:

[SPman]

Do I oen a car?

Does nobody check their spelling before they press post, these days!

Oen!

Aaaaargh!

To address these questions

I don't feel i need to justify myself and my reason for not owning a bike but due to some of my reasons being personal if you are serious about wanting to know my reasons feel free to PM and i'll explain them to you in private

Here let me help ya...
Some people look at porn site but dont own a porn star!!!

[Big Dan]

Please let me make this clear i know my orignal post kinda makes me out like i'm having a go at bikes and/or bikers cause i'm not maybe i should have been more cleared and thought more before typing but whats done is done now

I'm not having a go at any biker i have respect for them for being able to live the dream and ride in freedom if you ask the bikers who travel between waterview and the airport between the hours of 8-9am and return 5-6pm if i see a biker in my rear view mirror i pull over far left or right depending on which side the biker is lane splitting 9 times out of 10 i get a friendly wave saying thanks

I'm very sorry if i've offended anyone

[Mikkel]

I ride a motard and I enjoy the occassional slidy-action on the gravel... but fuck going skiing on a bike. And that's just one example - grocery shopping in the rain isn't a lot of fun either. Hauling the old folks - or other guests - around the country when visiting is yet another.


Why have you never owned a bike?

Bikes are just better than cars because anyone has a car. Owning a bike and being into bikes makes you different from others.

That's bloody hilarious - I do really hope you are taking the piss though.

Oh brilliant, so motorcycles are only for the poor people in the slums who can't afford better...?


The term 'cager' denotes a mindset, not a transport preference.

Which mindset - the kind of mindset that would never consider owning or riding a bike because it's either too silly or too dangerous - or only for criminals.

Not too different from dissing cars while riding a motorcycle is it?

Answer the question mate.

But he could just be here for all the enlightened opinions and the broad perspectives...

The correct saying is: "Where there is a will, there is a hole!"

Well, where else would you upload your home videos?

I wasnt taking the piss. And i never said that poor people in slums can only afford motorbike. People who have bikes are just smarter than people with cars. Naturally.

I've never owned a car.
