Motorbike, My Only Transport (Triumph Daytona 675) 

I did the first seven years bike-only, because I couldn't afford to get my car license, much less a car. It's definitely doable, especially if you live in the South as I did and there's not a huge amount of snow or ice in Winter as rain is a lot easier to keep riding through safely. I generally had topboxes on my bikes at the time to help with carrying shopping and similar, and as a single, childless guy it wasn't much of a hardship, and indeed there was no parking where I was living so it was beneficial to have a bike over a car. With that said though, there's no doubt in my mind that the ideal garage is at least one bike and at least one car. There are many times when having a car is very helpful, such as this weekend gone when I had four passengers with me, but also as you mention just being able to grab my keys and set off without spending ten minutes getting dressed is an absolute joy that I still relish every time. The same applies to having music and heaters on the way, being able to shift position without affecting the vehicle trajectory, and being able to park without needing to worry about chains and locks. It's good for carrying large objects too, and actually when I got my first car it was December and I went straight out to buy my first Christmas tree. If I absolutely had to go back to one vehicle for some reason, I would probably choose a bike because I couldn't be without them now, but I'd make it something versatile and practical like a Deauville. It's nice having both though, and it's much like smart phones. I don't 'need' a smartphone, I could have some cheap-as-chips brick which can make calls if I break down somewhere but does nothing else, but it's nice to have a camera and instagram. I don't 'need' a car 95% of the time, but it makes my life better at least once a week.

Happy days Dude

I love the fact that whatever you have to go to people are really suprised and confused that you turn up on a bike. We are just like the people from the Netherlands bikes but alot faster.

I 100% need mine for my own well-being. I have a car but it is only used for work and my big shop. I've put on 6,000 miles on my bike since September, and just 700 on my car ;-)

I had a uni lecturer who used to commute every day of the week on a Ducati 998. Cant remember if he had a car. I think he did but he obviously preferred the bike a lot more.

Just found your bike parked! Subscribed, bike looks awesome btw!
