Which title best decribes the majority of your riding???
While I'm sure many do several types, vote for what describes most of your time on the bike.
Adventurer would cover most of my time these days.
Most miles are with full luggage. Off to some far away mountains.
Combined somewhat, if you will, with weekend warrior. I do like to shred the twistys. Luggage or not!
Only occassional green laning with a quad bike.

Adventurer for me too. My idea of a good ride is to go out and get lost, ride with a good, swift pace and find new places to explore.

Full timer, don't drive. Fun come rain or shine, most of the time!

You missed a category
Non existent, don't know why, but the bike has sat in the garage for months, some of it is to do with the weather, other than that, I don't know why :(
Its got its MOT on Tues, but I doubt it'll spark any interest in riding :roll:

I hate cars, I get sick in them all the time and hate the way cars smell inside. So I do not drive and use the bike as my main means of transport. However on nice days I drag out the Death Trap, my home made push bike and that is such a laugh I wonder why I need an engine at all! :smt105
With three push bikes and a fleet of motorcycles, I am spoiled for choice though when I do want to play on two wheels. :smt041

Same, although I usually because I seem to always get lost as I can never remember the routes again which is annoying when you found a good one. Mind you I picked weekend warrior
needs a multi select.
plus
Commute via the twistys and use more petrol .but man I have a silly grin all day .;)

Weekend warrior since January due to work and succumbing to having to buy my own tin can. But what a tin can! A Tempest 1000cc!
That's a wee granny mobile Nissan Micra actually. Got a sun roof so I can fit in it without adopting a racing crouch. :)
Commute to work all weathers. Ride at work and some weekend fun...

Used to be a weekend warrior, but now with the job and avoiding the car like the plague I'm happy to be a full timer.

I probably do 60-70% adventure riding, the rest is green laning.
I combined the two this weekend and took my explorer off road on a couple of trails :)

Bike is my only form of transport unless the wife is driving the car for the family trips, works well :)
So I commute, meander, have fun etc on it, for example I'm gonna do the lake and peak district roads the long way home (Norwich) from work in Birmingham and Preston next week...
Full-timer because the bike gets used the most of the time, with the exception of commuting and shopping.

Near full timer. Anything with two wheels is good, but with an engine its faster. I commute, and try to get out on the weekends on the twisties. My other half has just booked her CBT so hopefully by next year there will be some adventure riding and hoping to do my first track day this summer. (I also have a fleet of pushbikes) like I say, anything with two wheels get me a big grin, an engine just gets me there faster.
I do still own a car, cos i've not been able to sell mine. I've done more miles on my around town hack push-iron then i have in the car since getting my license.

Weekend warriors placed as expected.
Thought both adventurers and racers would be higher.
Must say I'm most surprised at the number of full time riders.
Wow! Well done all you 2 wheels only boys and girls! :thumbsup:
Voted weekend warrior as I mostly ride for pleasure but do plenty of adventuring, done 3 Euro tours now, and a fair few track days. Would do green laning too if I had the bike for it.

Well We could only pick one option and I figured full timer trumped all others because I'm a full timer full time whereas any of the others, only briefly.

Aye same here, as much as going on the fun trips and rideouts, if I need to go the shops/sort business stuff out in the pouring rain, I have to kit up and go. Unless I want to take the bus, but I've been there done that and now it's hugely unpleasant in comparison.

I have to say weekend warrior, my bike is a toy, I commute maybe once or twice a month. But its a well used toy as I've done just over 4,500 miles since the middle of March.
'Full Timer' as it were. My car fell apart after I started riding. It's amazing how a car can deteriorate from not being used. Oh well.

Weekend for fun, use it to get to cricket when I'm doing my photography or watching as they always let you park, into town to the station when I'm back late, shopping for anything I can fit into the panniers, and the last 3 holidays have been treks round Thailand on an ER6, with plans afoot for a mammoth 3 week whole country tour in 2014. But I couldn't do without my little runabout of a car too.
