What is your attitude towards motorcycles ?

I don't care to ride one myself. I would be worried if any of my friends did, I feel they are too dangerous and any fun they provide is not worth the added risk.

In the past, I've even sleeped with my bike, but now, the car seems much more safe and usefull.

I wouldn't drive one, but I love to ride with friends who driving I really, really trust.

er.. not enough options. I don't have a motorcycle, but I'd be psyched to get one, just as soon as I do the safety course, of course. Squids bug me, though.

Personally, if I'm going to travel several times faster than my body evolved to, I want to be strapped into a sturdy metal box. Other people are free to endanger themselves as much as they want; see my answer to the suicide question.

There's not enough options here. There isn't even one that says "Yes I like them." I picked the one that was closest. I love motocycles of all kind. I think Harleys are cool. I hope to have one some day.

now that I'm reading the comments I think that I really should add an option saying " I don't have one but I like them " . Sorry about that everyone.If this is the case for you , please say so in your comments.

I Love motorcycles and unfortunately I'm butt deep in snow or I would be out on it instead of sitting here. I don't have a racing licence or I would have voted for the last one. I'm ashamed of the "SHOOT HIM" one. Vrooom Vrooom!! Harleys and Hondas

I have a lot of friends who ride, I try to be aware of bikes on the road. Sadly, there do seem to be a large number of people on bikes who like to swerve all around you when you're driving and that makes me VERY nervous. I would consider learning how to ride and riding one. not In lieu of a car, but in addition to. milktree: what are squids?

I wince when I see some motorcycle riders weave through traffic. Ask anyone who works in an emergeny room if motorcycles are dangerous. Still, I think there are plently of responsible riders who get along just fine.

I have been on a motorcycle before and frankly I am little nervous on them. I feel so open to danger...but that's probably what excites people about them. Nothing like danger and adventure to get the blood flowing. I think some are quite beautiful to look at .. especially the antiques. But I doubt I will ever own one.

Um...not to be too critical, but the answers on this leave a little to be desired. Given how specific they are, there are not enough of them. I am thinking of buying a motorcycle, but not for the reason stated, mainly (I've been thinking about it for so long I'm starting to believe I'll just keep doing that for a whiel and never actually buy one).

I love the leather biker wear. But the annoying thing is when you're at home and someone rips by, its *very* annoying. The noise pollution is far worse than the carbon monoxide.

I don't currently own a motorcycle, but I've owned three or four in my life and will probably get another this spring.

None of those answers were very close. I don't own one but every spring when it gets warm and I see others riding I want one.

They look fun to me

i like riding. i also have quite a garage full of defunct bikes. anyone wanna buy a slighty used V35 Magna?

I wouldn't own one, but I find it really sexy to ride along behind someone who is operating a motorcycle. My best friend (and occasional sex partner) in high school rode one, and it was a total turn on. One day, he hit a station wagon and shattered three vertebrae. Luckily, he wasn't paralyzed. He had to quit the soccer team because of this, but that just meant that he had more free time for sex.

No real opinion but they are kind of dangerous.

There was no choice for someone who loves motorcycles but would have no desire to own one. I think they look great, and I have enjoyed riding on the back of one many times.

i have not met a bmw motorbike i did not like :) ... aesthetics are the reason.

They're not nearly as safe as cars. That's my only gripe.

i have a need to be the fastest vehicle on the road, and also a complete disregard for personal safety. so i am the perfect motorcycle demographic. as soon as i pay off my porsche, im shopping for a Ducati :D

none of the above. I do not have a motorcycle, but I got my MC driver's licence and I do like riding.

none of these really covers it. I am thinkign of buying one. and considering my motivation, it will be merely thought for a REAL long time.

Picked the second to last, but wish I had the time and money to pick the last one...
**reality: Take the MSF course. It's fun, it now gets you a license upon completion of the course (in Mass.) and you'll make the fourth friend I've convinced to join the dark side...
**Atzilut: Squids are those who ride as you described. Common identifying traits: Late model sportbike, tank-top, shorts and sandals, full-face helmet with a copy of some famous racer's paint-job, lack of common sense.

I'm thinking of getting a motorcycle license because I think it would be fun (but I'd never lane-split, so how's it faster than a car?)

A choice for the non-owner who thinks that they are cool would have been nice. Really needed better choices for the answers.
