I only ride bikes on tracks, private roads, or offroad. I don't trust other people on the road.

I don't care about bikes. A motorized bicycle, though, I'd love to have.

I can't see the point of owning a sportbike unless you're ten minutes away from backroads and relatively unpatrolled highway

Just get a supermoto, pigfat adv bike, or dual sport. Go to your abandoned lots and trails and have fun there.

>>16231811
We get to -20 F and foot of snow with ice ontop. I think a bike will have issues with that

>>16232049
Lane filtering is legal in pretty much every other country apart from the US. Sorry you live in a shitty country senpai

>>16232119
On the other hand, those countries limit you by power:weight until you reach a certain age. Possibly to counteract their low drinking ages.

How do you get groceries and house necessities?

Do you still live with your parents?

>>16231775
>Why isn't your dd a sport bike yet?
Because I DD an adv bike

>>16231798
>rain
What is gear?
>snow and salt/ice
Most roads are kept snow free, salt isn't a big deal. Only black ice sucks.

>temps below 40F
Again, what is gear? I've ridden with -5°C no problem.

>not being able to carry anything that won't fit in your backpack
Panniers, top case, tankbag and duffle bag with elastic straps.

>gets stolen if you park in the same place every day for a few hours
Locks are a thing.

>requires way more attention/focus than driving
Yes, so?

>>16232349
nigga i get a full load of shopping for a household of 2 people into 2 panniers & a topbox, with shit like eggs & veggies in my backpack, and still with room to spare in all stowage spaces.

Also I can drive faster than the speed limit in the whole city.

Live.

>>16231775
Because I enjoy spreading out and being cozy with my music playing loudly and clearly while I don't have to worry about someone merging into me and killing me.

>not using your longer commute to relax

I love bikes and all, they make great weekend and canyon vehicles. But only a madman or idiot would daily a sports bike.
