Default What kind of rider are you?

In another post I guess I finally pegged the type of rider I am and want to be: Street. My playground is are the city streets, where speed rarely enters the equation. Style tops the list. Making the squids look bad purely through my skills: mechanically, artistically and riding skills. Trying to make my bike look and sound better through what I did, instead of what I paid someone else to do. Trying to show that I'm the master of my bike. And not the bike mastering me. Where the squids are slowing to 10 mph and turning the bars to make a turn, I want to lean her over to take the same turn without needing to scrub any speed. And do it all in a way where the cagers think or say "Why can't other bikers be like him?"

So what type of rider are you? What are your goals in riding?

Freedom: I look for places away from everything else

Traffic in particular. And when I find a road (or a roadhouse or some other point of interest) I don't know, it's like I'm out of town, which I probably am (technically), but it feels like it's a lot farther.

I prefer to keep it on the track. I feel much more at home letting the bike run the way it was intended to be ran.

Freedom:

I like to get away from my town which I hate. Yet generally I will hit the throttle a couple of times and hit the turns pretty good. Yet I try to keep it at the speed limit.

Hybrid. Healthy mix of street and twisties, with a splash of freedom. Next year I'll sprinkle some stunt on top.

There must be a difference between your bike and mine!
