Hi everyone,
A relatively quick question. I have been thinking recently about changing my car RX8 to something more economical for the commute to work as it really drinks the fuel, but I'm not sure I could bear to lose it for something that just wouldn't be as fun.
It got me thinking, I could keep the RX8 and maybe consider using a motorbike for a lot of the commute -saving money and also having some fun in the process. The idea of being able to skip past lots of stationary traffic is quite nice too.
Thing is, I've never really ridden a bike, only once or twice and never on the roads. I'm a reasonably experienced driver (around 10,000 miles a year for 10 years, no accidents) but I'm just not sure about how safe a bike is, or how practical one is to own.
The thought that sparked it all was seeing this on HUKD:

Any bikers with opinions on plusses and minusses of bike ownership? Not that I'm sure I'd ever get it past the wife but have to start somewhere...
