Default Riding stylez

So... what style riding do you peeps prefer. Dirt, street, track, enduro, mountain, etc..

Personally, I'm not much of a track person, 1/4 mile or oval, or Jennings style. I love open roads and scenery. I like to go fast, on occasion, and I love riding in the mountains. I'm not looking to drag knees, and even moreso, any other part of my body!! I like riding with friends, but not necessarily a huge group, although if it's there, I'll do it if the right people are in it. I don't like riding in the front of the pack, I'm by no means a "lead dog", but with the right people.. the view isn't that bad from the back, lol.

I prefer a clean bike, maintained, and safe. I like long trips over short ones, and my goal now is to do a "Jared" style ride, but to NC, Northern Ga., Tennessee area just on the bike. But I'd prefer to do it if time isn't an issue and can stop whenever I get tired. Some day... some day...

what about you guys? What's your idea of "riding", and why do you do it?

I like slow to moderate street riding that isn't too fast or dangerous.

I like track riding, but if the streets here, where like the ones up in the mountains I would be riding alot more. I hardly use my bike during the week and my sunday rides are starting to get to me, since I live so far from any decent roads.

I like group rides whether long or short. Closest I've come to a track is the spot down in Homestead that used to be a mobile home park or something like that. Definately planning on doing a track day with some buddies. Enjoy meeting new riders, but tend to ride behind untill I get familiar with their riding style.
