Buggered if I know , but I have a lot of it ! :smt005

Compared to other takers
100/100 You scored 16 on moxie, higher than 100% of your peers.
11/100 You scored -1 on zeal, higher than 11% of your peers.
70/100 You scored 5 on pomp, higher than 70% of your peers.

The original Moxie was a coke-like drink, mebbe it's just trapped wind. :smt002

BMW R1150GS
You tried the racing thing for a while, but it honestly bored you. I mean really, you just keep going 'round and 'round the track, where's the challenge there?

Your current favorite bike is the R1150GS. You look for dirt roads to ride on the way to work. You secretly dream of riding to Prudhoe Bay.

Of all the personality types, you are most likely to have several Iron Butt Saddlesore 1000's under your belt.
And WhereTheFlippingheck is "Prudhoe Bay"??

You love riding, simply for the sake of riding. On the way to work, you sometimes find yourself taking the long way. The 50-miles-of-back-roads long way. Your mastery came about as a side effect from your love of the sport, although to be honest, you originally got into it because you thought a motorcycle would make you look cool.

You need a bike that can handle your addiction to the twisties as well as reasonably carry two on a weekend trip through the mountains. Because you are a bit image-conscious and have a touch of ego, your bike is a Ducati. A practical Ducati, but a Ducati nonetheless.

Got the make wrong but that's eerily accurate. Told me I should have a Ducati ST4S. Spooky.

Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 4 moxie, 8 zeal, and -1 pomp!

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?
FJR1300???? too many cylinders, too tall and too heavy for me (from a Harley rider I know this sounds stupid!) But the getting distracted and going the long way is about right ;)

Nah - think she's saying we're too old and we're not getting any

(and we thought it was bad enough getting assigned an R1 - let alone insults like that)

HA! I win!!!

Aprilia RSV Mille
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.

OMG an R1, who the f wants a brain dead morons bike.

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.)

AND

# You scored 8 on moxie, higher than 78% of your peers.
# 53/100 You scored 6 on zeal, higher than 53% of your peers.
# 12/100 You scored -1 on pomp, higher than 12% of your peers.

Mind you thank god it wasn't a tractor :smt003
