How many real bikers out there?

**SpankMe** · 20th June 2005, 16:37

I would like to know how many full time bikers are in NZ. Riders like myself who have never, ever driven a cage and never will. It almost feels like a lifestyle choice in this cage driving world.

So if you have never been behind the wheel of a car and never wish too, let us know by voting option 1.

If you have driven a cage in the past, but currently only ride a bike and never wish to drive a cage again, vote option 2.

If you currently only ride a bike but will buy a cage someday, vote option 3

Everyone else vote option 4.

Thanks for making me feel bad.

I don't feel that I fall into any of those categories. EVERY time I go to work I use the bike and quite often on my days off, depending on what I am doing. I certainly use a car as well. Is there a category for that?

Anyone who drives a car is option 4

What he said.

Cage is necessary when you have to transport old folk, great big hunksa wood and stuff.

Can't agree with that one

I'm looking for riders who have sacrificed everything to ride only bikes.

**Oakie** · 20th June 2005, 16:47

Arghhh! I don't fit.
I take the bike unless there's a reason to take the car. (I can just see me trying to stuff 2 weeks groceries up my jacket and into my backpack)

**zadok** · 20th June 2005, 16:48

Well, I'm going to spit the dummy. I AINT VOTIN'

People do it mate. Our beloved Administrator is one of 'em. Stop making excuses for your pathetic atempt and Bikerdom and get with the program.

I fit very certainly in Option IV

From age 18 to 34, I'd've been able to tick "1".

My boss got downright adamant about me getting a cage licence so I could be exploited further - at my own expense too, I might add. I had to pay my own money to make myself more useful to the company - I already had a perfectly serviceable bike licence which was all I needed. Boss wouldn't accept my stance that if they wanted me to have a car licence, they could pay for it.

Envy you, SM - wish I could get away with not having a car licence but sadly, tis not the case.

As you've deliberately biased the poll, I can't tick "Cars are death-trap coffins on wheels and I hate 'em but I have to use 'em occasionally."

Stupid fucking poll. Each mode of transport has a purpose. Just riding m/c limits your ability to carry out other tasks. Those that think m/cs are the be all to end all are tossers IMHO.

Given the choice I'd bike all the frickin time, but often the practical reality doesn't line up with that utopian dream....

Be fucked if I fall into cat 4, I got a wife and kids man! But I can agree that if you use a car, just cos it seems like too much work to get the bike out, wannabe shal be your label!
