Yep.
I ride to work every day that it's not pouring rain when I start out. Greater than 40% chance of general rainfall will keep the scooters at home as well but if I get hold of a sport-tourer (sans chrome), even that won't be a deterrent.

I ride to work everyday... and to lunch... and errands... and a beer... no car at all... rain or shine I'm on the bike.
The only days it doesn't get ridden is when I am out of the country... and I've even ridden it to the airport with luggage strapped down.

Since my recent RIF experience no work to ride to.
Guess I'll take her around the block just to say I did.

As much as I ride to work, I'm off during the summer and never ride to work on the offical days. But when I go to work, I ride.
I walked to class today, which is nice and refreshing.
They should move this to April or September so I can offically adhere.

Yep, yesterday and today, too. Hey - I found out this morning how far it'll go if you leave the petcock off. Right to the first stoplight is how far  At least it died while I was stopped and not in the middle of moving traffic. |

Was off on Monday...so there was no need to ride to work. However, I did manage to flush out the radiator on the Dragon and take it for a test ride aftwards Monday. Does that count? Today was a work day and I rode today.....just as I've rode to work everyday for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Weather's been clear as a bell, but blazin' hell hot lately with soup for air. The Expedition has great air conditioning and it's looking better and better all the time. I figure with the gas I've saved ridin' the Fat Lady to work lately, I can take the truck every once in a while untill this hellish weather cools down a little. Ridin' is great, but when I'm doing 55 on the way home and sweat is rolling down in my eyes, it might be time to re-think the saving gas by ridin' to work thing for a while.  |
