How many of us own a car as well as a bike

Just chatting today about bikes and cars and we came to the point that most bikers own a car as well.

Now I know some of the youngest on the forum won't, but I'd be interested to find the percentage, I guess I would be guessing 85% +
would own a car as well.

Don't get me wrong I ride daily, but for ferrying 2 kids about, the bikes no good.

I have a car as well... got the car before the bike. I'm a real young one, at 18yrs btw, had the car 1 year (Nissan Sunny -note sig.), only got the bike recently, but will never only have a bike... will always have a car as well.

Decided to get the car first because it's more practical... can cart mates and the like about, can't so much on a bike. Might be a funny sight... seeing me ride down the road with a strimer or lawnmower strapped the the back of my Gilera! Very Happy

What's the point in most threads on all forums! It's just chit chat, taking an interest in other people.

I want to get my car license done and dusted, but I'm not that bothered about getting a car any time soon - Too expensive to justify for me.

Though lately I have been thinking about the advantages of a combo for day to day bike use. Far more cool than any car Cool

Technically I still have a car, in that I can still drive it. But I've already sold it. They just haven't picked it up yet. Laughing
