Ride To Work Day, Who rode to work today? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

tlwisner · 07-20-2005, 09:26 AM

Who rode to work, and who let down all that is sacred to motorcycling by shirking their duty?

I rode in through the fog today, hoping that the scattered thunderstorms are scattered somewhere else this afternoon. I did pack the bike cover and a rain jacket, that should ward off any rain. The ride to work was not exactly crowded with bikes this morning.

I rode to work today. Except in the winter I ride to work almost every day. I like the 40-45 mpg instead of the 25 mpg my truck gets. And it is a lot more fun, too.

I ride everyday!

stevie c · 07-20-2005, 10:07 AM

I ride to work most days, and we didn't even have a 'ride to work' day here!

**Trapper** · 07-20-2005, 10:15 AM

Everyday

**inspiron** · 07-20-2005, 10:16 AM

First time this week (damn rain and thunderstorms) ... but yes, I rode today!

Scott58 · 07-20-2005, 10:26 AM

IntruderCruiser · 07-20-2005, 10:43 AM

who had to work? -- seriously, we took a ride -- but no work today

**Louis** · 07-20-2005, 10:46 AM

Yes, I rode in. It was chilly. Only 18 Celsius this morning. The past two weeks it's been close to 25 Celsius when I left home in the morning at 7 AM.

I don't work on weekdays, but I have been "riding" the push mower most of the day.
