Default what do you use your bike for?

i was just curious to what everyone out there uses their bikes for. racing, cruisin around, leisure, longer rides, work transportation. might learn a thing or two.
personally i ride mine for leisure around the country side, and the occasional whooping of the local harleys(they never learn hahaha...)
i haven't really taken her for any longer rides yet. i'm planning on taking it to st. louis next year, that should be a pretty long ride.

until then keepin it on two wheels.

The CBR1000F: short weekend tours (600 miles is a pretty short tour, right?), business trips to nearby cities when I can get away with it, leisure rides in the country, some runs to the hardware store. The CB650: round town errands, short leisure rides in the country. They are also used as eye candy for the driveway.

My CBR is the only transportation I possess, so I use it for everything. I'm very lucky right now cos my 30 mile round trip to work and back is through some beautiful countryside. Then there is the very occasional jaunt at the weekend - generally not very far, maybe a 300 mile round trip. I'd like to do more jaunts but i'm obliged to go to the pub quite a lot on the weekend.

It's my onle mean of transportation that I own. So I use it for about everything you can use a bike for, and the CBR1000F is just doing one hell of a job at that :-)

I use mine for a weekend fling, and sometimes when the weather is good and I have to do a trip up the coast.

Look at what I brought yesterday, it's coming into 4 wheel drive season.

I have a 2000 model Falcon wagon for sale if anyone is interested
