  I am not a member of any of those groups listed but I am a motorcyclist.

  My motorcycle IS my primary transportation, I know you said "most" but 
in my group of friends it does not feel that way, I know several who 
don't own cars by choice and are not part of the groups you listed.

  I am NOT a biker however, I don't ride to the local watering hole 
every sunny weekend to admire the chrome on my hardley.

  And by the way I do knock the Hardley's, but readily admit they are 
more reliable than my current BMW, I just don't want to own HD 
underwear/socks and for me the local watering hole is boring and my bike 
has no chrome to admire.  I would think that a motorcyle would be the 
first choice in a down economy, I get way better gas mileage than a car 
and I only have to buy 2 tires instead of 4 so a bike makes perfect 
sense in a bad economy, I think of my car as my toy, my bike as my 
transportation.  Rain or shine, I ride, about the only time I don't ride 
is when its pouring down rain for the ride to work, I hate being soaked 
at work but if its not raining for the ride to work, I ride as I don't 
mind getting wet on the way home.  For the super bad day, I have my 
rainy day car, S2000.
