Hows the snow there? And if you drive normally you should be fine, assuming you actually know how to drive a motorcycle.

Get a normal car.
Or a caddy escalade

Get a badass 4x4

The risk of riding a motorcycle is too high IMO. It would be fun and all,no traffic would be good but would suck in summer and when it rains. As in summer you would still want to wear good protection. Just go with a nice car.

Car's the best. You can drive it when it's raining or snowing and if you get sedan or touring you can have nice amount of friends with you. And by car I mean BMW off cource.

Small car for bad weather, cycle for any other time.

Depends what you need it for?

If you carry a lot of stuff.. go for truck? But i hate trucks.

Motorcycle? If you just want some joyrides. Go for it. But you crash.. you die.

Car, best of both worlds?

Unless its to far to go on bike ;P

I always bike to my college (+/ 15 mins), good weather or bad (unless it's really horrible).
Use the car for bigger distances.

I'd get a Honda Accord Coupe.

This. Mostly because of the AWD

motorcycle too easy to get killed in and truck sucks all your gas money, so car is obvious choice.

Car.

Go with a 5 series touring. Best of both worlds.
It's not a truck but you can still carry a lot with it.(go with black interior though, you don't want to screw up the leather)

if its your main mode of trans then it doesnt make sense to get bike cause its very risky on highways + rain in spring/snow +cold in the winter and you are fcked

id say get a car, and for 30k you can get a nice car

Folks he live in San Diego. Snow is not an issue for him.

I would have to agree with Joey. Get a small car for rainy days and a motorcycle for the rest of the time.

That's no excuse. Buy a zamboni, M3KO, and be the envy of your neighbors.


Motorcycle, lol. Good luck with the insurance bills there, kiddo. Do the smart thing for now and buy a car; your credit score doesn't even matter one look at your age and you're easily looking at triple digits especially if this is your first bike. Just get a zamboni.

I liked mine.

And the WRX is badass but the STI is $34k.

get a nice jeep! best for everything

ford ranger.

lol @ the zamboni... xD
