I ride to work everyday (well, almost) and always park by the boss's BMW! Oh yeah!

DF5152 · 07-16-2005, 10:09 PM

wish i could ride to work to much stuff to bring....

JES883 · 07-16-2005, 10:50 PM

I ride to work every chance I get. And sometimes I park my bike INSIDE the building. Makes the GM a bit perturbed because people comment. But he had a Kawasaki when he was my age, so there's a "connection". Bike stays inside.

I'm planning on it, can't wait for the day! It's been raining here for days, but the forecast is looking better!

stp1971 · 07-17-2005, 02:09 AM

Cool,, didn't know about that,, I try to ride to work when the weather is nice. I hope the forecast is better Wednesday than it has been. If it is,, I'll be riding. Thanks for that post!!!!

My toolbags look kinda funny hanging off my bike.

Hunter · 07-17-2005, 11:22 AM

I was downshifting to climb a hill (in my car) and when it was time to upshift, I squeezed my steering wheel with my left hand and tried to kick my heel shifter.

I ride to work 2 or 3 times a week. 36 miles one way, and I dont have rain gear yet so I have to watch the weather.

blackie1491 · 07-18-2005, 06:23 PM

I bet the ride is to short when you are on 2 wheels.I rode to work for 6 years. It was the best part of the day. Retired now, ride every day when the sun is out. And the SUN is here.

**Louis** · 07-18-2005, 06:24 PM

I ride to work everyday, rain or shine.

On days I ride I look forward to going home. Sometimes I take off early because there is a secluded back road with about 5 40mph corners that I really enjoy. The other road is busy and prety much straight.

+1 The long way.
Squeezin' the steering wheel , now thats funny.

I found myself waving to bikes (back when I waved all the time) while in the cage.

stp1971 · 07-19-2005, 07:35 AM

And they probably wonder what you are waving at???? I have done the same,, of course they don't particularly wave back. I hope the weather is good tomorrow,,, I no like big ol rain on shiny chrome bike!!!!

tlwisner · 07-19-2005, 09:18 AM

I'll be on two wheels tomorrow going to work.

St0nkingByte · 07-19-2005, 10:14 AM

Ride to work everyday unless there's ice or snow which around here is about two days a year. So yeah I'll be riding tomorrow

wayout1 · 07-19-2005, 01:56 PM

Go figure tomorrows forecast here - 114 with dust and thunderstorms likely. This could suck.

**drgibson** · 07-19-2005, 02:23 PM

I'm a daily rider. When I have to drive the car I keep trying to put my foot down when I stop. It sure looks funny with my foot out the door. I need to learn to balance the bike so I don't have to put a foot down when I stop. Yeah I'll work on that.

SuzukiGirl1 · 07-19-2005, 02:46 PM

Oh yeah! I'll be riding to work tomorrow...

I only ride to work occasionally. For one, helmet hair on me looks like I just woke up and rolled outta bed...for stopping on the usual ride, no biggie, but walking around a corporate office, people start wondering if I'm an alcoholic or something. I feel like I need to walk around w/ my helmet under my arm all day so they know what's up!

For two, rush hour here is crazy and I don't like how much my odds increase of getting hurt when trying to exit 94 at the 11th street exit (where three lanes of traffic are trying to cross over each other like a big "X"...not good)
