Default Who else rode to work today!?

Its going to be 78 here in Springfield, MO today - rode into work this morning. Felt really nice to ride the bike in, I forgot how great it was to get front row parking at my office!

About 10 other people had the same idea! Lots of bikes out!

I rode in last night and just rode home a little bit ago. It's about 45F here now, was around 40 last night, with a high in the mid-70's this afternoon so I'll probably ride some this afternoon too.

I always ride to work. Traffic is just too irritating to deal with in the truck...

Rode yesterday, rode today, gonna ride tomorrow. Supposed to get good storms rolling in Friday, though.

In a couple weeks, I get to enjoy some of that wind that you're getting GSXR Girl. I'll be in CoS around the 24th. Mostly all-work no play days though.

YEAH, BITE ME
still got like 8" of this white crap on the ground, salt all over the roads and not to mention the freaking lake in front of the barn and more of this crap to come this weekend.

My bike is still hiding under cover and is likely to be there for couple more weeks and really wish I could sooner ride, I love driving my F150, but with gas at $3.50 a gallon that 50MPG is alot more desirable

Yeah well, if you are in Springfield you know how cold it was Monday in the KC area. That was the day I rode my bike to the dealer, 30 frigid freeway miles to Olathe, for its mods. I have body parts that are still smurfed!

But then, of course, the friggin weather was beautiful for riding AFTER my bike was put in the shop!

I probably could have yesterday, if I were able to get through the patches of snow & ice mixed with a touch of mud. The roads still have a good deal of salt but with our rain today some must have washed away.

I wanna ride!!!

B-Rex I grew up in Olathe!

Suzuki dealership down on frontage?

I almost bought a C50 there once, but couldn't get the guy where I wanted him on price.
