What's your MOTIVE? Sex appeal?

Hey look I've heard many reasons people switch to a bike
- convinient
- Image
-Cost
- Attracts the opposite sex
- Dislike cars
- Speed

For me it's a combination of all the above, you??

adrenaline, speed, ability of the bike, sexyness of the bike, quicker than a cage, uses less gas than a cage.. dozens of reasons.

Dammit I'm agreeing with buggy - but yeah, what he said.

That and I grew up on bikes - I'm just "familiar" with them and not riding one wouldn't be right

Yeah, poor bugger can't fit into a car when it's up, has to ride a bike. Tragic, really...

Hey Buggy: are those the reasons you changed from a car (assumption warning) in the first place?

I loove bikes for all of the aboves, but when I switched it was about avoiding the costs of fixing my car, car depreciation, mystery of the motorcyclist etc. Sex appeal didnt really come into it at the time.

Welcome to KB and a' that.

You're likely to get punched by more experienced KBers for asking a question that is likely to set me off on another lengthy post.

Just so you don't incur too much wrath:

Lotsa reasons that I've already discussed (at length

) in other posts.

Mainly the fun and the spiritual aspects.

4 wheels is over compensating

nah, i still have a car too, but I just find the bike more fun to get from a to c. It's just quicker, more fun, less gas etc, park it anywhere, you can't lean a car etc.. and I just find I can be (prepare for wank talk) more 'at one' with the bike, than the car. I can happily snap 200kph out of the bike and think nothing of it. In the car, I get to 150 and ain't likin it.. Too much metal to be slingin around

And Wolf, we have covered this topic a few times before in the past, I remember a couple at least.. but I guess we have a lot of newbs since then, so no harm in another, ay?
