What kind of biker are you?

[Bob]

UK bike insurer Bennetts has launched an online ‘calculator’ to show what kind of biker you are.

Bennetts commissioned Dr Murray Griffin, a sports psychologist and biking enthusiast from the University of Essex to analyse the data from more than 2,000 bikers, which has been turned into five main biker ‘tribes’.

Apparently, Gordon Brown should be riding a Harley, David Cameron a sports bike, but both Simon Cowell and Lewis Hamilton should be riding scooters (!)

You are a Bank Holiday Biker ...born to ride your touring bike into the sunset! With the wind in your hair, you’re not scared of long distances - further is better for a tourer.

Well that was a funny kind of quiz! They asked my eye colour but not my gender, then gave me a list of male British celebrities and asked me to choose which one I identify with. Do I look like Richard Hammond?!

Anyway, I chose "commuting to work" as my main reason for wanting a bike and it gave me this profile:

Yep, sounds like me, just working on it yet though. To start with, I need a better bike.

Me I'm a boardroom biker with a Road King. Bloody hell. that's the last of the Harleys I'd ride.

[EJK]

It's being racist! Just cause I'm an azn! lol

[pritch]

There was another one of these on KB some time ago, that one had more questions I think. They were probably more pertinent too. Eye colour?

Anyway last time my recommended bike was an FJR Yamaha which didn't upset me at all.

Despite the limited questions this time I score an R1200RT. That's funny because I was talking to Experience BMW this week and part of the conversation was about RTs...

(Not now thanks, I'm happy with the Honda :-)

I had my mid-life crisis early at 31 (at least I hope it was early!!:doh:). I am due for another in about 5 years I think!!

I thought the image comment was a bit strange too. Image is more something for the 15 to 25 "me generation" or metrosexuals I think :mobile::Pokey:

Not so sure about the top of the pile or about having a HD Road King but there you go. I'm definitely not a sports bike rider.

[Coyote]

Your Ideal Bike: R1. Yet another excuse to get a 1000

Don't understand what celebrities and eye colour has to do with any of it. The only worthwhile question was what do you need your bike to do. And I needed to select 3 of those answers (speed, commuter, modifyable)

[hospitalfood]

you are a total muppet. you should sell your bike and get a tricycle. stop using the internet. stop pissing off the rest of the world by staying inside your house.............

only to true, although I'm not sure if my eyes are brown or hazel lol (i don't look in the mirror that carefully) and I love high speed and acceleration, but would modify my toy as well.

Try calling a Harley rider a metrosexual.

These days a lot of big city Harley riders probably are metrosexuals, they're accountants and lawyers, whatever, and more into image than riding.

Of course out here in the rural rump if you call anybody metrosexual you could be in trouble. :whistle:

Well, where's my R1. Must be my blue eyes.

Yeah must be the blue eyes :rolleyes:.... Seems I want an R1 too.
