Camaro or Bike?

So the weather is getting better and Im getting the itch to get out and drive! Oh did I say that?, YES drive, NOT ride. So I get in this argument with my buddies all the time!

I'm a car guy, I don't see any interest in gettin my a** creamed because some 17 yr old kid was textin and didn't see me. I like two tires behind me , scoopin asphalt , hanging on for dear life!

So let's here it,
Car guy or girl?
Bike guy or girl?

And if ya want , let's see your pic of your favorite! (Still waiting on my car from factory , so pics of camaros are GOOD!

Sold 3 bikes to get my Camaro. I have zero regrets doing it either. Loved my bikes with a passion, but it was time. Can't post them here, but they are in my gallery. I do miss them, and may get another Ducati one day, but right now I love my Camaro.

I guess you mean bike as in "motorcycle". I put about 12K a year on my Camaro and about 2K on my Cannondale bicycle. When I am traveling in something with a motor it is always a car.

OP to me you are right on target. It depends where you live but in any populated area you can see many drivers with their eyes on their laps.

I got tired of having to lock eyes with every cage driver at intersections. I also got tired of putting on body armor. If you have ever kissed the asphalt at speed and bump into something hard you will never go without it. And if you did go without and did go down, you may never get a chance to fix that mistake.

I got rid of my last bike and gear to pay for all my Camaro mods and have never looked back. I have met cool people. I can carry whatever I want without having to make a decision. I could not care less about the cold and the rain, and taking my car to the track is way more fun than I was having on my bike lately.

While I treasure some of my two wheeled memories, I do not miss the bikes.

Good poll, just probably not the ideal place to post it if you want the sample to reflect the opinions of the population lol

Oh and I was "creamed" once on my bike. Car turned left, head on collision. Shattered ankle 12 days in hospital, could not walk for 3 months. Still love to ride.

I love my Camaro and my Harley and my road bike. All have different purposes but are used in the same weather.
