Re: For those who ride to work Quote:
Fig : Lets see:
Morning - Lanesplitting Lunch - Mulholland to Stunt Rd to Piuma Evening - Lanesplitting Looking at this, it's just like an Oreo. I toss the crappy chocolate outside, and enjoy the filling.. But to get the good part, you have to buy the whole cookie. Here's the real problem riding to work - Paying for tires. I put a new rear on in July, and thanks to a board filled with industrial sized staples, I had to replace front and rear last week. Rode the Seca in Mon & Tue, decided to take the 929 in on Wed, and 2 stoplights into the trek home, on my new tires, I look down at the light and see what amounted to a box of nails spread across both lanes. Someone is out to get me!!! I guess I missed them all. I almost just got off, cleared a path, and walked the bike through, but I would have been run over.. I'll be riding my Seca in more often, since it's much cheaper to operate. Fig Mike |

Re: For those who ride to work I ride to work when I know my workload is light so I can hit the twisties when I get off early. Not very often though. Riding during commute hours is just about as dangerous as it gets. Cagers don't even realize you're on the road with them. I even take my cage when I could cross the bridge every day for free (two bucks toll) if I take the bike. |

Re: For those who ride to work Motorway 4 miles then twisties 12 miles, great in summer, hard work in winter. I am on shift work so the traffic is very light when I am on earlies or finishing nights. Always puts a smile on my face. |

Re: For those who ride to work I wouldn't get up for work if I couldn't ride there in the mornings. And my commute is as boring as it comes. There's literally 1 good turn, and I can't knee down b/c there's a bunch of blind driveways along the way (plus gravel and sand have been known to scatter about). Still, even some highway bombing to work (1 whole exit! is better than driving. |

Re: For those who ride to work I used to ride to work, no more. Too many cagers not paying attention on the highway. I used to dream about not taking my exit and riding in the mountains for the day..never did it though. {sigh} |

Re: For those who ride to work With the short riding season we got here, I take my bike every time I can, even if I have to carry a 30 pound backpack. I hate when I have to take my truck in summer time |

Re: For those who ride to work That's funny, today on my way in, I thought to myself 'would anyone miss me if I just kept going and went riding for the day?' I love riding in to work! Right now is the perfect weather 50's low 60's in the AM and 70's on the way home. Invigorating is the word I always use to describe it. |

Re: For those who ride to work Quote There's a noticeable difference in my energy level at work if I ride vs. drive I used to feel the same way before I lost my job (STUPID TELECOMM). *There were mornings where I used to take a few side roads instead of all highway and there were many days I was tempted to just keep riding but my theory was if I lose my job how will I support my addiction Sometimes ya just gotta suck it up and make the $$ so we can support our 'freedom machines' Tom |

Re: For those who ride to work I leave at about 5am, so I'm so tired when I leave, I don't really feel like it |

Re: For those who ride to work There's a noticeable difference in my energy level at work if I ride vs. drive. I prefer to ride no matter how boring or short the route is. The bike is just way more exhilarating and my car is a Honda S2000. |

Re: For those who ride to work There's no fun roads anywhere nearby here I either hit 3 freeways on the way to work, or make a left out of my driveway, make a right at the first major intersection, then pull into my work 40 min later |

Re: For those who ride to work I would ride to work but my Blade would be overkill to ride from my bed to my home office. * |

Re: For those who ride to work I haven't had a vacation in a while so I just take a day off here and there just to ride. Also, I have some great roads close to my company. A few of us bikers at work get together for really really long lunches. |
