Lone wolf;

You like to keep things solo, even if someone wants a little play, you’d rather let them past or leave them standing. You prefer meeting people at a destination not riding with them and you ride whenever you like.

Weekend warrior;

The suns out, you have some time spare so you get out on the road. You may meet with some other bikers and ride out to a set destination. Usually waiting for a reason to go out on the bike somewhere, your kit is nice and sparkly and your bike is clean enough to eat off. You’re scared of grey clouds.

Project king;

Too many bikes but not enough time to ride them? Do you have multiple bikes in your possession but spend more time tinkering that riding? Always talking about how you managed to pick up loads of bargains and how your initiative has helped you keep the bike running just enough to keep it going. You potter out occasionally on one bike but probably have something reliable and shi**y looking that you razz about on regularly.

Commuter;

You just use the bike to get to and from your 9-5, it might be a slog it might be ten minutes down the road but mainly you just commute with no real fun riding

Racer;

You may be a little of each of the above but your main focus is your race machine for use on the track.

More BCF than biking;

Self explanatory really. You know what is a nob cat but don’t have a clue what a HT Lead is.

It’s my job;

Whether you love it or hate it, bikes is part of your everyday life as it is your job.

Other;

Explain yourself!

Mainly a commuter for college. I would do more fun riding if I could afford the bloody petrol. Laughing

Mainly a lone wolf, however, I do like riding in small groups as it makes me naughty.

Guess that describes me best; however I'm out whenever I have spare time (weekdays as well); not scared of grey clouds, only mortified by torrential rain as neither my leathers, nor my textiles are waterproof. And my bike is far from clean, neither is my kit.

I voted other - I go out mainly at weekends, but go out socially during the week and I also commute on bike if I choose. I will ride in the rain but I prefer not to because I have a car and see no fun in getting wet, getting my gear wet and getting my bike dirty - my bike, Its the most expensive thing I own so excuse me for trying to look after it and keep it looking nice and shiny.

This is all.

Lone Wolf Thumbs Up
I know it's out in front already but it should stay there as I reckon people who don't want to be the centre of attention,enjoy their own company, doing their own thing etc are automatically drawn to biking and will probably make up the majority. Nothing wrong with going places and meeting people but on your own terms not in a pack.

I ride to work when I need to.
I ride for fun when I want to, alone or in a group.
I don't do much mechanical work but I like cleaning.
I don't race, but have done several trackdays.

This is usually all on the same bike, whatever shitheap I've got at the time.

I selected other:
I enjoy tinkering about with them, got 2 projects ATM
but when they are working I commute a few times a week
I also just ride it for the sake of riding, more often than not its by myself just a massive 5-10 miles loop near where I live, I always go underneath this bridge because it amplifies the sound and is brillaint Smile

Other


When I go out for a play I do the lone wolf thing, only I have no desire or intention of meeting peple at my destination Smile, I don't do group riding, bike meets or willy waving contests. When I go out for fun I don't usually stop until I get home or I need fuel. If I do stop it is somewhere quiet and scenic, away from other people and especially away from other motorcyclists. Either that or it's a KFC and I can't resist the gravy laden goodness. Some of my most enjoyable weekend blasts have been in the rain.

Rest of the time (most) I'm a commuter, pretty much the same as above except that unfortunately, a condition of general employment seems to be that I must talk to and be in close proximity to other people. Weather isn't an issue, I still need to get home.

I really like the mechanical side of things, I hate cleaning. Few things are as pleasant as a few hours on a sunny day, spent on the driveway/garage working on the car/bike alone with a beer.

I'm in the 'other' category.

I ride a LOT. With friends. We just meet up after work sometimes late at night and go for 5-6 hour rides. This can happen a few times a week. Laughing

I'm racking up about 1500 miles a month on average....

None of us live local either, I'm brighton way, most of them are eastbourne, so its a good old trek.

I like riding with others but I think I ride better alone

I get distracted looking at them in my mirrors or derping around showing off and tend to do stupid things like riding through red lights Rolling Eyes

I ride on my own most of the time cos I`ve got no mates Surprised I dont need to ride in the rain so I tend not to.

When I`m at the pc, i spend most of it on BCF and the rest of the time, plotting my revenge on the world and forming an alliance with Nobcat to destroy EVERYTHING!
