There you have it !, I'm a first degree dirty cager !.
I don't believe. I'm always thinking motor cycles , I dream motorcycles, I use motorcycles as my number 1 leasure / pleasure activity etc, etc, Shit , went to a motor show on the weekend , walked past all the Ferraris , Aston Martins , Por cheeze's , Gt40 fords, Lotus's and Vaxhaull Manaro's , Past the Bently coupes , past the BMW Williams F1 car and straight to the Ducati stand , and followed by the Honda motorcycle stand.
But, according to this poll I'm just dirty cage driver. F@ck , better get rid of the Ducati thing and get myself a nice tasty cage with comfy seats and built in motorcycle bars on it . Not worthy of being a motorcyclists anymore. Now , where's that nice cagers BBS !
My wife would laugh at this poll . She was option 1 for a number of years, helped out on many motorcylist learners courses , races buckets , but don't tell anyone , she actually drives a cage from time to time. Perhaps Spankme would like to tell her that's she's not a motorcyclists.

Good windup Spankme !.

Congratulations!!! You've found a good use for the car. (but doesn't that come under 'convenience')

Can you filter in that?
Or do you just make your own lane?

Option 4 is a bit harsh. Some of us drive cages out of necessity at times but our preferred form of transportation is a bike.

The poll is also a bit hard on those of us who realised our dream later in life. But what the hey?

Where's the option that says "I don't give a root?".

You have led a sheltered life. I have ridden a horse, a donkey, and a camel. The horse had lousy brakes, the donkey's acceleration was pisspoor and the camel had the worst cornering I've ever experienced. All three were very unreliable. The horse could do good wheelies, but

I don't reckon them. They all whiff, and they don't got no handlebars.
At least some goats have handlebars, but the seat's a bit uncomfortable. And they still whiff.
