Whats wrong with that?  Our parish priests all own a push bike... and enjoy their rides around the town.....on their days off (or in their spare time)!  And riding a bike without a cassock is fine.  As long as they still wear their collar.

Fr. Echert, from the EWTN forum (who is also an army chaplain). He was in a motorcycle accident last week. Don't know what kind of motorcycle he was riding or how he is doing, though.

I believe Fr Michael Crowdy (RIP) used to travel by motorcycle, or it might have been a moped.
