    bike only...dont know how to drive and have to plans on learning. i also drool over every harley i see...just hearing the rumble is often enough to bring me to my knees....hounddog doesnt call me cumquad for nothing, lmfao. i love nothing better than getting into the nitty gritty...grab my rags and polish and i can work for hours on end just cleaning it. pure heaven.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    I have always loved cars and bikes and as a motoring journalist I've been lucky enough to drive some very expensive cars. Can't ride the bikes - I'm only 5'1" and can't reach the ground on most of them!

    Love the smell of AV gas, adore drooling over bikes and flash cars - buy lots of bike and car magazines (can legitimately write them off on my tax too!) and wish Top Gear/Fifth Gear was on every day!

    Love speed - co-drove in a rally car for a few years and miss it like crazy.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    I kind of like my Cage, It gets all the money spent on it , Its old and needs good care, I like working on it.
    My bike gets what it needs to be safe and reliable , I would much rather ride my bike than work on it and that includes cleaning it.

    I'm just a petrol head...thru and thru...

    1arse with 2cars - 2bikes - 2boats - 1truck (the truck cleans up after everything else)
    Bacon and Eggs...a days work for the chook - a lifetime achievement for the pig

    when I was 18, I was embarrassed at how ignorant my father was...then when I was 21, I was amazed at how much my father had learnt in those 4 years

    Nice Dave, I love anything with an engine and/or goes fast(includes windsurfers and boats).

    Always had many cars, 7 at one stage. Have only had mechanics work on any of them 4 times, twice I regretted it and one of those times I had to then fix it myself after I got it back and it cost me $350 for the privilage.
    I now have found a good mechanic in papakura which were the last 2 times.

    Far out!
    This thread hasn't turned into a slogging match yet! So good to see there is such a variety of comments from both sides of te coin.

    I myself have my bike as the pride and the car as the more practical means of transport. As in, when the gf wants to come along too (i'm still on the learners by the way). The car will easily leave the bike behind on the open road (93 gt Leagacy), but the speed in a car is really boring when compared to speed on two wheels... Then there is the obvious reasons like fuel economy..

    Anyway i basaically enjoy both, maybe 3/4 bike and 1/4 car biased.

    Im like you Pyro, altho its only been a (wonderful) 3weeks, and 3 or 4 visits to the shop - doh!. I now drool/look at every bike - including scooters - not drool, notice. Not going to bother buying a car till I can afford to go rallying.

    yep... I've converted to bikes... I also own a nissan pulsar gti-r (pretty quick 2ltr turbo 4wd hatch) - this used to be my dream car and I'd loved it for about three or four years... but since getting my bike it's been relegated to once a week commuting duty
