What a bunch of losers. A REAL biker wouldn't even have taken the test.  (883 for me too...)

 :D 

Sportster for me too  >:(  36% moxie, 27% zeal, 5% pomp and 100% BS

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I answered all the questions.  But, when they demanded my email address, I realized it was a pointless, gimmicky, scam for an email address listing.  They lost my trust and couldn't possibly have any credibility.

I think they have something to do with the Bush administration and destroying large buildings.  Pity you were all duped into partipating in the conspiracy, you sheep!

Just joking about that last bit.

Just say no to drugs TT, but feel free to come to Oz, the US won't miss you, and we need more dickheads! ;D

I got bored with the poll, too many questions with answers that didn't reflect my initial response. Sort of telling me how I should answer their questions? Ho-hum....................... Next! ;D

Funny, during my substance experimentation years (half a lifetime ago), I seriously considered Oz as desireable.  When I finally did say no, the lure down under also faded significantly.  Coincidence? ???  Perhaps I just found more interesting things to do here is the US.
 You're right about the US not missing me though.  Well, except for the taxes and other living "fees".:'(

As for dickheads, they're probably isn't any response I can make that wouldn't be construed as insulting.  Can't have that!  ;D
So, just put a tally in your column. ;)

I got that freakin' Sportster. The only Sportster I'd want is a '52 or possibly a '68. And I'd much sooner have a Knucklehead than either of those. And I'd sooner have a $100 core/parts  K1 or K2 750 than the Harley.

I wound up with the Yam FJR1300 as well - apparently I have the characteristics of a Master Street Rider, with 62% Moxie, 75% Zeal, and >0% Pomp.




They got my name wrong, too.

   Well the test put me on a VStrom which is a bike I actually like so they did okay with that. However they then went on to say this..."You are the rider most likely to Rhino-Coat your bike for the sake of practicality." So, you take their silly little test and then they insult you?  ??? Mud would work just as well and it's free. ;D ;D ;D
