Default Re: Which best decribes your riding?

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!

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.
