Both, the majority of my miles are in the car now.
The new car had 10,000 miles on it in six months and had to do the first service.

| So........86% of bike riders also drive. That makes us our own worst enemy then? Sort of blows a few ideas out of the water. |

Had my car license for 19 years (gulp) and bike for nearly 7 years. The car is used for the station run and the bike as a hobby. We are going down to one car and I'm going to SORN mine as a trial.

personally, I didn't realise how bad my driving was (after 20 years with a full car licence) until I started riding a bike and put some of those lessons into practice in the car. definitely made me a better driver.
so, then surely the more interesting statistic (lie?) would be: how many of the car drivers who are involved in collisions with motorcycles also hold bike licences?

It also appears that 1% do something else. 
I am guessing but I think that a vast majority of the spills and near misses by the forum members, if we are honest do not involve another car that was at fault. I have certainly run wide on a bend in a least two occassions but no cars were coming in the other direction.
I know at least four others that have done that or similar. |
