Let me know, when you're ready for decision, so I can make a note to my personal English - German dictionary.

Wow! So many interesting replies! I think I'll go for a ride now!

I think it doesn't matter.

I know the term "drive" is more common in Britain; but it's just semantics - like, "windscreen" versus "windshield."

I drive my car. My dog goes for a ride. I ride my motorcycle. My wife and I go for a drive in the car. My friends and I go for a ride on our motorcycles.

That great arbiter of British English, the BBC, would have you driving anything with 4 or more wheels and riding anything you straddle. See [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/youmeus/learnit/learnitv72.shtml]here.

You may also want to be entertained by the number of times this question has been asked in the past. See [url=https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=ride%20vs%20drive]Google.

Another oddity around this is that I have often heard "drive" used in reference to airplanes. For me, it is "fly" or "pilot" but never "drive" an aircraft.

Well, we're called "riders", not "drivers", so based on that I go with "ride".

When someone uses the term "drive" for a motorcycle, at least around here, I know they are not a biker.

I drive in a car, but I ride on top of my bike. Ride denotes something special, anyone can drive, but very few ride.

Then would one ride or drive a Slingshot?!
