    daily driving for me. Some light offroading at times, but if I really get the itch to go offroading, I will do that on my KX250. I need my vehicle to get me to work, and pickup the kiddos from school.

    I cruise around on my Ninja 650R. The truck is for my hockey equipment and taking the dogs places with me. They have a nice spot in the back with the bed rug and topper they're happy as can be :).

    Mine is our farm truck. It justs used to haul hay, animals and pick up the occasional load of dirt/rocks. I also use it as a spare vehicle when needed. Does a great job and I don't put many miles on it because of how it's used.

    I use for it's primary purpose - truck; to haul tools and whatever stuff needed for work. Second is for wheeling. Third is family vehicle that's why I got leather seats for them to be comfy and easy clean up when kids make a mess.
