3. Thoughts about working for a car share although you prefer riding bikes.
What is a car share?
4. Your current bike's make and model. Describe how it looks, sounds, feels.
2004 Kawasaki ZX6RR (yes, two "R's" - it is the difference between 600cc and 636cc - mine being the 600cc)
Looks green - only color available
Sounds ok, would like it to be louder and sound like "pure sex"
Feels like it fits me, that is was made for me and my riding style
5. Your first bike and how you got it.
2000 Kawasaki EX250
Found it in cycle trader up in NY (no pictures), drove up one weekend with a check, bike worked for me so I gave the girl money and took my "new" bike home.
6. Your ideal bike.
My current bike, but I don't really know any others to compare it to. I just know that when I was looking for a 600cc that this was the bike for me.
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 suppose not since most people are surprised when they find out I ride a motorcycle, let alone a sportbike. There aren't too many females around this area that ride - most that do have Harley's.
Some do and some don't. I work with a number of people that I would never imagine on a bike, let alone the actual bike they own. Then there are others that fit the bill exactly.
8. What does a bike say about its owner?
I think it is hard to say.

Within those, I'd like to identify a model or two that represent the category. And I'm wrapping it together with brief, lighthearted descriptions of the types of people -- both personality- and style-wise -- who tend to be drawn to each.

So, if you're up for it, here are a few basic things I'd need:

1. Your age, location and profession.

29, Orlando FL, Process Manager
3. Thoughts about working for a car share although you prefer riding bikes.

I don't know what a car share is.
4. Your current bike's make and model. Describe how it looks, sounds, feels.

Suzuki TL1000R, big, yellow, loud, rumbly
5. Your first bike and how you got it.

First first bike... lil Yamaha Zinger when I was four... got it for Christmas. First street bike... Kawasaki Ninja 500R... went to the dealership with my dad to look at bikes, talked to a friend of the family who was the sales manager there, decided not to just look, but to buy the fuckin thing.
6. Your ideal bike.

V-twin streetfighter... black, loud, ugly... and looks like it doesn't have enough parts to work.
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?

In some ways, yes.... I am certainly a risk taker that requires somewhat of an adreneline fix... relatively addictive personality. Some people fit the bike, others do not.
8. What does a bike say about its owner?

Depends... some bikes say, "I'm a complete fucking toolbox", others say "I'd rather be riding (rather than washing - Drewpy)", and a lot say, "I have a very small penis"... that's what mine says.

And please feel free to expand on any of those questions, or on whatever I might not have included but might help readers understand this better.

You can reply via e-mail, if you'd prefer: yasiejko at gmail dot com.

Thanks to all!

Best,
Chris

1. Your age, location and profession.
31 year old female, Nashville TN, Scientist/Sales

3. Thoughts about working for a car share although you prefer riding bikes.
I don't know what a car share is. I work from home so probably wouldn't apply

4. Your current bike's make and model. Describe how it looks, sounds, feels.
2007 Suzuki GSXr 750, Looks like sex, sounds like sex, feels like....well...great sex

I also own a 2000 Yamaha XT225 dual-sport, Looks like crap, sounds like crap, and feels like dirty sex.......Dirty rough cheap sex where you wake up bruised, broken and covered in gunk

5. Your first bike and how you got it.
2004 Kawasaki Ninja EX250. Got it from the shittiest MC dealer in the world, America's Motorsports. Will never by from a dealer again.

6. Your ideal bike.
I would like a garage full of all types....garage is already full, just need an adventure/touring bike to add to my stable.

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 don't wheelie, pose, stunt, or ride without gear so I'm not your "stereotypical" Gixxer rider. But I also think stereotypes are false most of the type. Sportbikers (not crotch rocket/rice rocket/pasta rocket (to include Azooom) are from every age, race, demographic there is. We are just usually hidden under our helmets.

8. What does a bike say about its owner?
Bikes don't talk
