Alright, just a thought about this, obviously this is swaying me from one way to the other here.

How many of you guys and gals here have a bike and a car? Or Two bikes, one for showing off on and the other for work? or winter/summer bikes?

I'd love to know what y'all do...and also what you would prefer if you have one or the other? whats the best? (alright, in YOUR opinion whats the best...)

Cheers

Got a T reg 2.0 Toyota Avensis that hasnt moved in the last month :D

Got an RSV Mille for playing on and a GS500E for work (once its all serviced).

Also got the other half's ZXR400 if i ever need it.

She has also got a Fiesta too, so transport for an 80mile there and back commute isnt an issue.

However since starting my job in London in April, i have used the car once in all that time for work :D

Having driven constantly both trucks, tracks, and cars for the last 18 years i am a tad bored of all things with steering wheels, and much prefer the bike and the open roads :)

I had the ER5 for always and the CG125 for when the ER5 was out of service. A car would be nice for when its raining or i can't be assed with the leather and getting ready lark. But bike will always be better than car

Ive got a53 daytona 600 for fun,
an 04 toyota hilux invincible for shooting and dogs
a 54 discovery for work, (emergency response duties) and for leaking diesel and power steering fluid everywhere.

Do use my bike in the summer when I can, but the job often requires me to be in the discovery :cry:

Honda CG125 or a Nissan/Daihatsu Cherry (Built just before daihatsu changed to Nissan) Well ill be honest here...the bike looks ten times better than the car, and could probably go faster too.

The car looks worse than a Micra, Metro, or a fiesta....and thats reasonably hard to do...

I vote for the bike...looks better, sounds better, faster, Odd's proven that the CG is kinda indestructable...

Tooey #3


CG125 TAKES MY VOTE.
