I drive an '06 LR3, I ride my bike 80 percent of the time...for obvious gas savings and enjoyment reasons. I pretty much use the LR3 for when I have to shop, want to take my mountain bike out to the trails, want to go off roading, camping etc.....
Otherwise it's the bike (unless it's too cold...I'm wuss if it's under 50)

For almost five years, I have been riding 100% of the time. My bike is my only ride. I do not own a car or truck, nor do I ask to borrow one.

Honestly, I think I have forgotten how to drive.

That's pretty cool man, props to that!
as much as I love to ride I don't know if I could be that hardcore. Too many other things I like to do that require a cage and 4 wheel drive lol

I technically still have a car. A '97 Dodge Avenger. But since I've gotten my bike I've driven it twice. And one of those times was to go to Cycle Gear and buy more shit than I could fit on my bike =) The main reason I bought my bike was for general commuting. Which is why I bought a 250. Crazy mpg

And can anyone guess what my favorite color is?

Up until May, I didn't own a car either. I went a year on 2 wheels without another vehicle. I did errands and groceries on my bike (sometimes it did suck). Started in 2008, when I realized I loved my bike more than a cage. So I sold my SUV and went carless for a year and a half. Now I have a '99 Corolla, that my friends sold me for a ridiculously low price. So I bought it. But nothing will ever compare to my baby!

I Ride: '06 600RR TOTALLED '08 1000RR Black/Yellow
40% - I drive a 2006 Jeep Wrangler with the big 4.0 straight 6cyl, 3 inch Teraflex lift, riding on 33's. And its an automatic so I don't spill my beer when off roading ( jk...sorta). Its a nice ride for around town when I need it, but what its really good for is trailing, camping, going shooting, and hauling the toys.




30% - I ride a 2008 CBR 1000RR. I ride my bike as much as possible, but not nearly as often as I would like. Mostly I ride it to work and occasionally out at night with some friends.




5% - I drive both at the same time. Does it count as both if you're trailering your bike?



15% - I ride a 2006 YZF450. Its the sh1t! Holes Shots and Paddles, widen axel, full racing pipe.


About 10% of the time that I'm riding my 4wheeler, Im only on 2wheels :)


And I fly about 5% of the time, haha


1% - Just kidding, I only fly about one percent of the time.




9% - I ride a 2006 VTX1300. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I know its a Cruiser, but its fun to ride. Handles like a dream, so comfy and cush.


0% - I drive a 1994 Honda Prelude. It used to be turbo charged back in the day. But I blew that shit up racing. Now its no longer turbo, but it runs good with a low mileage JDM motor that I installed. I'm a Diehard HONDA guy, so I can't seem to just let it go. But these days it mostly just sitts in the garage for that old school street racer nostalgia.

You're right bro. It's Family First, because without them nothing really matters. Things, cars, quads, bikes, come and go...but in the end of all things, the love from your family is all you really get to keep.

The trick is to not seperate your hobbies from your family life. But try to incorporate both of them together. You'll find that you will be able to do more with your hobbies and still spend quality time with the Fam Bam.

Now with that being said I'm lucky enough to have a wife thats a rider too. She rides a black 2006 636. She's Asian so she loves HONDA and plays video games..which is a huge Turn On for me. And my little girls love helping me work on cars and bikes. Many nights my youngest daughter, even at 3yrs old of age would want to stand on a box and hold the flashlight while daddy wrenched on motors in the garage. And when we go snowboarding we always make sure to set some time aside to ride the Tube Park with the kids. Our family really comes together and rallys around cars, bikes, quads, camping, off roading, swimming, snowboarding...and just about anything thats cool or flys throw the air. lol

When I Spell It out like this, it really makes me appreciate how good I have it. Im a lucky guy, prolly more lucky than I deserve.

I Ride: 08 MV Agusta Brutale 910S
well, on average:
45% - 05 Chevy Colorado
30% - 08 Brutale 910S
25% - Quad and dirtbikes

Although recently the dirt bikes had the brutie beat out (didn't have it registered for 3 months) but the dirt bikes are all plated so I ripped up the streets on those for a minute. Still crack them out on occasion if I want to go piss off the locals that are driving like shit (preferably with the top/windows down) with my 84 Yamaha IT490 smoker thats plated. Lots of fun there. Nothing like filling up the cab of some "Im better than everyone else" prissy beotch's little "sports car" with 2-stroke smoke at a light. Plus the thing will stand up in nearly every gear so needless to say, its a hoot.

I ride about 90% of the time. The only time I drive is if me and the wife are going out for the night to a show or if I am taking the toy hauler camping.
