ST1100 and a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0lt
My preferred method of transport is the bike, it's my daily transport. I will pick up my helmet before the car keys every time.
The Jeep comes out for family holidays when it becomes a tug for the caravan. Or when I need the space for picking up things like dish washers and such. It got used for work just six days because of the weather last winter, I can't ride with ice on the roads.
Ferret added.

Ford courier ute for when the kids come camping and fishing ( 90 % of my weekly klm's is in this vehicle ).

St1100 for the weekends or when only 1 child tags along.

Also have non motored versions of bikes - ( nearly 3,000 klms this year ) 
Robert - White ST1100P (they're just better)

Most of my driving is in a work vehicle....but when my own 4 wheels required;

Toyota Landcruiser 105 for me, Toyota Rav for Mummy, Toyota Corolla for daughter......think we have a Toyota fetish, and the ST for the both of us.

The Rav does the daily driving type duties and the Landcruiser is set up for long distance touring, camping and fairly serious off-road and remote travel, my other passion other than the bike.

I forget whether I even voted!  Have the ST11 and Suzuki GS1000 (not on the road), as well as the WL Statesman 5.7 V8 for car duties (have to have something that goes a bit) - car has liquid injection lpg and about to get the full sports exhaust system put on.  Wife has a 2.3 litre Camry, best not talk about that.
