Motorcycle Personality Test

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=17525870837436152068

***
Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 6 moxie, 7 zeal, and 0 pomp!
You're addicted to speed, but have the knowledge and experience to
match. Although you like to win, you don't really care so much about
competing with others as much as competing with yourself.
Your bike is the Yamaha YZF R1. Given how easily the rear wheel on this
beast spins up coming out of turns, it is fortunate that you constantly
work to improve your skills. (I've seen more R1s crash at track days
than any other bike.)
It was a close decision with the Suzuki GSXR1000, but your personality
seemed a bit more R1-ish. (But hey, I could be wrong. Its only a silly
test.)

Bugger, I wanted the gixer.

muddycat scribbled on the back of a napkin:

Heh. There's clearly something wrong with this test:

Harley 883 Sportster
You scored 4 moxie, 5 zeal, and -2 pomp!
You scored dead center average, lacking any of the personality quirks
that normally drive people to motorcycling.
However, if you do ride, statistics would suggest that you are destined
for a Harley-Davidson, probably something in the Softail line.

 

***
600cc Sportbike
You scored 8 moxie, 3 zeal, and 1 pomp!
You are a squid. Your bike is a 600cc Japanese Sportbike. Take your
pick, it really doesn't matter, since you're going to wad it.
You are the primary source of extra bits of fairing plastic on eBay.

When you're riding in the mountains, you have a hard time keeping up
with that Olde Pharte on a Triumph Thruxton without blowing the
centerline in the twisties and going WFO on every straight. (You're
not a bad rider, but you're just not as good as you think you are.)

On a hot day, you're likely to be seen weaving through highway traffic
at warp speed, wearing sneakers and a t-shirt blowing up your back.

The good news for you is that this is a temporary phase in your riding
career. You will either (a) buzzsplat or (b) become more acutely
conscious of your own mortality after a few minor but eye-openingly
lucky crashes.

Take it to the track. You'll live longer.

There are some good points there. However, I don't have trouble
keeping up with Olde Pharte's and I don't ever blow the centerline.
*hmph*

I feel soiled.

Utterly buggered. I answered pretty honestly:

You have the characteristics of a master street rider. On the way to work,
your love for riding sometimes leads you to take the long way. The
50-miles-of-back-roads long way. You live for the perfect road, and plan
vacations around riding.

You need a bike that can handle your addiction to the twisties as well as
comfortably carry two on a weekend trip through the mountains. Your bike is
the FJR1300. Can I borrow it someday?

Although the bike seems a reasonable call.

You scored 3 moxie, 10 zeal, and -2 pomp!

Glad I've already got one. Strikes me that the description for the
FJR suits the Thou perfectly.

 

That's what I got except with these scores: 5 moxie, 3 zeal, and 0 pomp!

HTF they work that out I'm not entirely sure.

 

It's fucked. I got 6, 6, 0 and an R1.

 

Ducati Monster
You scored 5 moxie, 5 zeal, and 7 pomp!
You're a bit of a snob, but otherwise well-adjusted.
Your bike is the Ducati Monster. Sexy. Powerful. Agile. Italian style in a
badass matte black.
Of all the test takers, you are most likely to have been hoping for your
result to indicate that your bike is a Harley. It isn't. Sorry. You show the
potential to become a superior rider, and you need a bike that encourages and
rewards your learning. The Harley will just hold you back, and you'll have
nagging feelings that something is wrong.
The Suzuki SV series is also a good bet, but it wouldn't appeal to you. Far
too Common.



Hmmm

0 moxie, 3 zeal, and -2 pomp

Hmm. I got the Harley 883 thing, I'd rather have a hardtail with a big
motor though.

 

with a side car...

 

Harley.

Hah hah hah.

Loved the question about motorway riding... "use them as a rabbit" - so it's
not just people on here who do that... ;-)

 

I got the same as you with ...

4 Moxie (1)
10 Zeal
1 Pomp

Yup ... I used to live 2 miles from work and regularly rode 40 miles
to get there.

It has been known on more than one occasion.

Nah ... the trip through the mountains is ok but no way two-up.

Hmmmmm


(1) WTF is moxie?

I feel so much bett^W^W^W^Wsoiled now.

" You scored 9 moxie, 5 zeal, and 1 pomp!"

Deeply fucked.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/pet/moxey.shtml

HTH.

 

Dunno, not that I have any. Apparently.

 

Ahh.. no wonder I got 0 for that one.

 

I got stuck on the 883, too!

I couldn't see myself on one, not even if I was the last man on earth.
As for lacking any of the personality quirks, I spent 10 years with
Phase1 endurance, so there must have been something there...I think.

 

oddly enough;

Aprilia RSV Mille
You scored 7 moxie, -2 zeal, and 7 pomp!
You're a fast and competent rider, but maybe not quite as good as you
think you are. You've spent some big bucks on a sexy Aprilia, now go
buy a beat-up Kawasaki EX500 as a track bike and get in some practice
before you kill yourself.
Seriously. The Mille's power scares the crap out of you at times, and
you mostly bought it because you wanted something more unusual than a
Ducati. Its not comfortable, you're not having fun, and you're riding
less than you did on your old bike. If you're not willing to put in
some serious practice time, you should really get something a little
less purposefully lethal.
