What does your bike say about your personality?

1. Your age, location and profession.

38; Ottawa, Canada; IT professional

3. Thoughts about working for a car share although you prefer riding bikes.

Working for a car share? I wouldn't want to be part of a car share. I make enough money to afford my own car, and I don't care about the environment enough to share a vehicle. Car shares are a step in the direction of communisim.

4. Your current bike's make and model. Describe how it looks, sounds, feels.

2007 Suzuki Hayabusa. It looks good(to me. Others, not so much). It sounds like every other I4 bike in the world, and it feels like a rocket propelled Killer Whale covered in KY about to jump the Grand Canyon in a speedo.

5. Your first bike and how you got it.

1982 Yamaha RD350. I bought it.

6. Your ideal bike.

No such thing.

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?

This is the gayest question I have ever read. Stereotype much? Do you ask african americans if they stole something today? Do you ask asians if they like the taste of Cats? Do you ask gingers what it is like to live without a soul?

8. What does a bike say about its owner?

That the owner liked that bike enough to part with cash for it.
Another moronic question, BTW.

You appear to be in the minority in knowing what the f**k a Carshare is. Care to share this knowledge oh great one?

If it is what I think it is, there are companies setup in cities that own a fleet of small cars. You pay a monthly fee, and then you find out where the car is(by GPS), go to it with a swipe card and use it for as long as you want. Of course there are tons of rules, and I don't think I would want to get a car after some ass munch drove his buddies home from the bar, and 3 of them puked all over the interior at 3am. Now at 10am, you go and get the car, and the puke hasn't been cleaned up, and it has been baking in the sun for the last 4 hours.

No thanks.

If that is what you are talking about the only place I have ever seen it is in San Francisco. Yeah no thanks, I rather drive my own beater around with my own filth.

'round here that's hilarious - you'd need a car just to get to the freakin' car
