What car do you drive?

[SheepDip]

Oh I'd still recommend it.

There was literally nothing I could have done about the accident - apart from not be on a bike!

Commuting can be dangerous purely because of other people, riding casually you don't get into situations really where people can do things like that to you.

And after it happened I didn't even realise how badly damaged my leg was, in fact I did a few "Peter Griffin after tripping over" into my helmet, thought "that'll swell up" and carried on for another 400m before feeling blood running down my sock.

It was more a more inconvenient than upsetting experience. I still love 2 wheels, I'm just a bit more cautious around traffic.

They always say that you have 2 sorts of bikers.

those that have already fallen with their bike,
and those that will fall later.

Good roadcraft, perception on the road, and knowledge of the roads you will use will help immeasurably with riding a motorcycle - had I jumped straight on a bike without driving first I can think of 3-4 situations that could possibly have ended up with me being seriously injured or killed.

Edit - And I have been hurt

Maybe I'll just start off in a car first....

2006 Toyota 4Runner. Gas guzzler, but the speakers are awesome! ;D

Does anyone have a Mazda?

 

[Landrik]

My dad owns a Mazda Miada (can't remember the year) but it got all torn up by my sister and is basically dead.

Well that sucks!

Yeah! I grew up wanting to drive that car. Such a shame.

Here is a video of my new car!

There are a few kinks that need to be worked out before I can (legally) drive it on the road, but luckily these are based on Ford Torinos so parts are relatively common.

Here's pick with all the lights on. Those center lights aren't fog lights. They are running lights. Which is why they are on with the High beams.

User Name do your flowmaster 40s resonate around 1200 RPM? That C6 trans is bullet proof!

Every car I've owned with Flowmasters resonates at around 1800 to 2100 RPM. These are the same. The car also seems to resonate with them sometimes.

I'm driving it now! Here is a video I made of it. This was when I first got it going so I didn't hot rod it in the video. It's just a regular cruise.

Im jelly.

Im jelly.

Me too.

Although you can't beat my truck... the only muffling device on it is the turbocharger. Nothing like 478 straight-piped cubic inches of diesel fun!

I drive this rusty piece of Opel Calibra. It's actually my first car, pretty fast for an old car. It has given me some headaches already, but we'll see how long I'm going to own it.
