1. Your age, location and profession.
31, South Florida, Professional

3. Thoughts about working for a car share although you prefer riding bikes.
Car share doesn't work in Florida.

4. Your current bike's make and model. Describe how it looks, sounds, feels.
Main bike is a Triumph 675. It looks sexy, sounds subtle and feels like it fits.

5. Your first bike and how you got it.
My first bike was a trike. Honda ATC 110. Dad bought it at a garage sale and fixed it up.

6. Your ideal bike.
No such thing. One of each please.

7. Do you fit the personality most often associated with whichever category of bike you have? Do the personalities of others you know fit their bikes' categories?
I'm not sure what category my bike(s) fall into.

8. What does a bike say about its owner?
Mine say: "He abuses me."

I am a 24 year old female preschool teacher from the central coast of California. My current (and first bike) is a 92 Yamaha FZR 600...a sportbike. I ended up with this bike because it was what my husband got me for my birthday. It is my current ideal bike.

Do I fit the "sportbike personality"...not really.

OK Yaz FWIW, I am a 40 yr old Banker from NW AR that has 2 bikes, a Buell 1125R and an 05 Kawasaki ZX6R. I have owned 10 bikes starting with a 1996 Yamaha YZF600 I bought new at the dealer. My perfect bike depends on the kind of riding I am doing and would prefer to have one of each. I would not fit the stereo type of a sportbike rider and I believe bikes become expressions of their rider by how they are maintained and customized. The type of bike is just the tip of the iceberg as some riders own more than one type of bike.

1. 28, Kosovo/ND, Military
3. Have you ever been to ND, there are 8 of us there, we all have our own vehicles
4. Buell (RIP) 1125R. Looks odd, sounds angry, and feels phenomenal.
5. SV650S, I bought it.
6. A garage full
7. Um, idk, maybe? Some call me an asshole...
8. Vroom.

1. 24; Knoxville, TN; Systems Engineer
3. What the fuck is a car share, and what happened to number 2?
4. 2008 Yamaha FZ1
5. 2006 Suzuki SV650S; I bought it from the dealer, something I'll never do again.
6. I have many. I love what I've got for what I use it for. I have a dirtbike that works great for what I do with it. I would like to have a supermoto...
7. I don't know how to answer this one. I learned how to ride on the infamous "Dragon" (aka US129S). After scraping the pegs off my Suzuki, and wrecking too many times to count, I upgraded. Still, it wasn't good enough, so I bought a track prepped bike, a 2003 Honda CBR600RR. I must have been to the track 10 times, I got my racing license from Ed Bargy, and then it hit me. I'm too old. It's too expensive. Sure, it's fun as hell, but I wanted to race to win, to do something with it, and that wasn't gonna happen. So I buy a dirtbike, and it's great, I still love it. Then I got a house, got engaged, and now my woman wants to ride. So, I sell my race bike and use the cash for my current bike. Now we ride together all the time and I enjoy the time together. Next I'll be buying luggage so we can make weekend trips.
8. I can't answer that question. For most people, stereotypes are true. Harley riders typically have no idea how to really pilot a motorcycle, nor do your common GSXR rider with the polished frame. Then again, your typical FZ rider is a middle aged man who can't ride on the same level as I do either. I suppose you could say that I'm just a special breed...

1. Your age, location and profession. - 32, Central NY, Insurance Consultant
3. Thoughts about working for a car share although you prefer riding bikes. - :??:
4. Your current bike's make and model. Describe how it looks, sounds, feels. - 2003 SV650S (the Copper One). It is nekkid enough to show all the good bits but faired enough to stop a decent amount of wind. It feels like small v-twin with power in a usable speed range.
5. Your first bike and how you got it. - An old Honda Shadow - it was a hand-me-down.
6. Your ideal bike. - I don't have just one. I want a dual sport like a V-Strom or a BMW GS but I like the look and feel of the SV
7. Do you fit the personality most often associated with whichever category of bike you have? Do the personalities of others you know fit their bikes' categories? - The SV isn't too popular 'round these parts (the locals are more of the "If it ain't a liter bike, it isn't a motorcycle" crowd) so I don't really know what category I fit into.
8. What does a bike say about its owner? - I'd say that depends on their riding style. I prefer not to judge someone just by the bike they ride.

1. Your age, location and profession. 23, SC, Student (studying Computer Science next semester).
3. Thoughts about working for a car share although you prefer riding bikes. This refer to carpooling? No need for that here.
4. Your current bike's make and model. Describe how it looks, sounds, feels. '01 Honda Shadow Spirit 750. Black paint, shiny chrome (well.. a lot of its plastic, so shiny plastic). It's not very loud, and with a slight mod it has a nice rumble for stock pipes. Last question is tough.. feels comfortable, I guess. It has nice pick up and is maneuverable.
5. Your first bike and how you got it. My current bike is my first. My dad saw the ad in a newspaper, and I bought it from some dude switching hobbies to boating.
6. Your ideal bike. At first I thought it was just a cruiser, but now I want them all.
7. Do you fit the personality most often associated with whichever category of bike you have? Hardly.
Do the personalities of others you know fit their bikes' categories? Nope.
8. What does a bike say about its owner? I like to ride. Aside from that you might be able to determine how well they take care of their stuff. I can't say much more because everyone mix/matches riding styles with different bikes.
