    Thumbs up Good Bye Cage?....or No....Bike only?

    Following from my earlier thread on the "infatuation with bikes", I am wondering what you do with your "cage", that's if you have one...I've been advised to sell it once I upgraded to a bigger bike. To be honest I've used the car probably twice since I had the better option.....and now have taken it off the road (Exemption)....
    Just like to know if your cage is sitting in the garage collecting dust....or get rid of it despite the predicatable winter storms ahead...

    Unfortunately I can't carry all my fishing rods,gaff,chilly bins, tents etc on the bike so my cage gets used a lot.

    Sell it and get yourself a Ute. I just did it.
    Utes are handy for putting MotoX'ers on the back or even taking your race bike to the track
    Plus they make you look like a real man

    That's a great idea. You can have a bit of fun with the special way they handle too.

    Cars do have their place - they do take corners at pretty respectable places if you're up to it.

    They are also pretty handy when you are really sick and want to go to the doctor - shopping, or you want to travel long distances and carry luggage........

    The best bet is a sports car and sports bike - best of both worlds.

    When I got my bike mrs phoenix claimed the car as her own. No real loss. I still drive it when I need, but that aint often.

    I thought about selling my car but it has it's uses. It would cost a lot to replace it and I am guessing in winter I might want it on some days. Meow!

    The way DSS handled his ute the weekend after his off at puke was fairly impressive

    Mine sat unused, so it went.
    We didn't need two cars anyway. It's not like we live on Remueras northern slops or some such.

    We got a 4X4 for the missus and a Ute for me. Plus my Gixxer.
    Living out in the wops its good to have a spare vehicle.
    I used to have a hotted up Accord SiR and a Celica, but both were shit compared to the bike.
    A ute and a 4x4 mean I can pretty much carry anything

    Keeps me poor having 3 sets of Insurance, rego and wof's to worry about.

    I love the SS more than the bike when it's wet, manual and a mean LSD!
