the most important one is i don't trust myself and others on the road to ride one

It does beg the question - why are you here...?

We have a car.

The difference is the car is practical - the bikes are fun.

I sold my ute two years ago,wasn't using it, the bikes more fun.

The wifes got the family car for carting the family around,and i've got the bike.

It does make things interesting only have the one car at weekends when
the daughters got netball and the boys got soccer..

Currently got the bikes rims off for painting and new tyres.took the car to work last night for the first time in two years..I miss my bike.
will try not to let that happen again.

I have two cars, a minivan for my five kids, a four wheel drive for fun, and work ( but more fun). Very hard to carry all my work tools on my bike, and a boat. Had a holden recently too, but thought it was time to go as the toys were mounting up. I love my riding but it's just not practical to ride my toys to work!!! I do find that being a rider and a driver I'm more aware of bikes whilst I'm driving!!!! Can't figure out why you'd be on a bike site if you've never owned a bike, whats up with that????

Narrow minded bigotry and a want to create an "us" vs "them" mentality when perhaps we should all consider that we're all road users, motorsport enthusiasts, speed junkies, or off roaders.

A desire to live life dangerously? Vicariously.
Serious answer tho... There is a big difference in being a car owner/driver and being a cager. The term 'cager' denotes a mindset, not a transport preference.

The Commodore makes a far better job of towing a tandem trailer full of sheep than the Triumph.

Haven't taken a car to work since buying a bike, Commuting on the bike is the highlight of my working day.

i relate to that, we have 4 drivers/riders live here and i own 5 cars and 2 bikes
