Both.

Sometimes I ride, sometimes I drive. I also jump on, hop on, cruise on over, shoot up too, head on too, run up too, run down too, and run across too.

I've also swung by, dropped by, dropped in, dropped over and headed up too.

I roll in and roll out.

Then sometimes I just hang.

I "ride" my bike and I call the engine the engine. Maybe because I'm a MOTORhead....

This is soooo dumb. I can't believe I actually read the previous 14 posts.

This one rates up there with where do you put your gas cap.

Up until this thread I have never heard anyone say they drove their bike.

You RIDE your bike.

I ride... I cruise.... I tour... I take a trip... on my motorcycle.

It has an engine and a motor. I use the electric starting motor to start the internal combustion engine.
