I rode too! 40% chance today and 60% tomorrow. It's just liquid sunshine.......

Cattman · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 08:02:19

Balmy 42 and foggish this morning. Sunny now.

R J · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 08:11:02

I only work 1 day a week, so I'll just say, I rode to the dentist this morning to get a firkin tooth yanked. Can we all say OUCH in unison..........

Yesterday was my work day and I rode to work yesterday also.

I'm assuming that counts Mr Raymond..........

about 43 when I left Ossining and much warmer here in the Bronx

Saw one client and now I feel the need for the wind in my face

Damnation Raymond look what you done did, now I just have to leave and ride the bike again, Think I will ride home for lunch its only 26 miles.

Kamikaze VRCCDS#0119 · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 12:04:17

Rode to work today, 54 when I left home. Not bad for Iowa in April! Rode to work yesterday too... and to an ambulance call and back to work and home and to a meeting and back home again. So far today only to work although I will be riding to the bank later to make a loan payment and then back to work.

SANDMAN5 · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 12:34:35

Technically, I rode HOME from work today. I rode TO work last night at 19:30 hrs.
I did manage to do the nickel trick to a few people before I pulled out of the
parking lot this a.m. Upper 30's I think.

DaveC · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 12:41:07

Bob E. · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 12:55:16

I rode to work today...36 degrees and foggy.

ChromeDome · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 13:32:17

Upper 30's and lots of bright sunshine .... suppose to make it to 60. Just got back from running/riding an errand ... still lots bright sunshine and the temps in the mid 50's ... you could almost mistake this for spring in Chicago.

Big Rig · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 13:35:14

This is a bad thread...I rode in, posted my 2cents then spent the rest of the morning thinking about riding...then at 12 went out for lunch on the bike....BIG mistake...2:30 now and just came back....forgot my cell phone...will be riding again in an hour....burning the vacation time already...gotta love it!

I will be back posting again tomorrow!

Made it back from the Dentist, and I still got the firkin tooth....

I got to go in on the 27th and have it surgically removed.... It currently, was when I went in this morning in 3 pieces and my dentist didn't have the right equipment to go in and carve it out....... So, I get to go to a pro, that will be in the Baby Grand arena somewhere. Just my luck.

Wingman · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 15:39:41

46 this morning and 75 this afternoon. Perfect day for riding. Good idea for a thread Raymond.

POPS 57 · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 15:58:40

I rode to work the last three days in a row. Thats good for M.N. in april.

GotValk · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 16:51:15

Rode everyday this week, Looks like were able to from here out (unless it snows again). Gotta Love Minnesota!

Hoser · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 18:20:10

I rode mine to work, as I did yesterday and the day before, bad news is I'm still here at work, good news is I'll ride it home in another 4 hours.

I'll bet it took a while to get there at 30mph. Shift up out first Willow.

Tropic traveler · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 22:00:10

I ride to work nearly every day. Only reason I don't is some days I need the truck or there is a good chance of rain. I have to look presentable {as I can anyways} for work.

Some days I ride one bike in the morning & ride another back from lunch!

Do I get any extra credit for that?????

It's a real paradox. Riding fast is really fun, but if I ride slowly I get to ride longer.

"It's not how you ride, but that you ride" (or something like that, isn't it?).

You're right, I don't believe it the way other people say it either.

Mr.BubblesVRCCDS0008 · Thu 16, Apr 2009, 23:55:56

I ride most everyday. About 25 miles each way. 30 percent chance of rain tonight 80 percent chance in the morning, hope to make it home before the rain hits. I just couldn't take the truck in cause of a little rain.

houstone · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 00:06:06

I ride every day. Just 'cause. My Valk is always dirty as a result, but it is still fun.
Simple enough for me!

FryeVRCCDS0067 · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 04:17:44

It's above "bridge ice" temps in mornings now so the valk is again my primary mode of transportation. Sweet!

Black Pearl's Captain · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 06:30:24

OK it's Friday, nice ride in this morning. right at 57 degrees again today and the chance of rain is high.

It's nice to see everyone post in the thread.

Raymond

Big Rig · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 06:32:26

Told you I would be back today

30 frost on the cars and you can see your breath...perfect riding weather for me

Looking forward to the 3 hour ride home...you know the song...long way home...

Some times the road less taken is 100 miles longer than the road taken...i choose the road less taken, when I am on my valk.

You guys and gals have a great weekend...get some wind in your face...it does a body good.

Just got to work and look at the first place i go.

Big IV · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 06:47:43

I haven't been on the bike for a week! That's a long time for me. Thur-Sat last week I spent in a Volvo, Sunday I spent with the inlaws pretending it was a holiday, and the rest of the week I was at home sick. So today, I finally got to ride.
My bike was covered in pollen, hitting reserve, and sounded funny when I cranked up. It took me a minute to realize my head is still stopped up. Everything sounds funny.
I drove her straight to the gas station and tanked her up. I also grabbed a drink and some cough drops for me for good measure.
Then a face full of fresh air until I got to work this morning.
I left early so that I wouldn't rush (reports of possible black ice, but I didn't see it) so here I sit.
Still sick, but still riding.
The ride did make me feel a lot better.

Commute to work, work to commute!

Bob E. · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 07:12:11

I rode to work again today. Not sure of the temps...around freezing as there was frost on the grass. But not too bad.

cutter · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 07:33:07

In on 2 today with a 80% chance of liquid sunshine. Been so long since I caged it, I couldn't tell when.
Y'all be safe out there.

Mongo · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 07:34:16

I was able to ride to work today. Only 13 days after I t-boned a pickup. Bike is running great. Wrist is still f**ked up and My hand started to go numb after 5 minutes But I rode

SlowRoad · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 08:05:48

I would have ridden to work today if I had a job. Since I don't have a job, I am just going to ride. Does that count?

ChromeDome · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 08:47:11

Another beutiful day .... temps in the 40's and should make 70's. The company un-covered the Motorcyle Only parking signs but there were still a couple of cages parked there .... must be new employees and not aware of the situation

no worries ... there will be saftey cones out there on Monday to warn people.

Best part will be running another errand at lunch time .... more time on the bike.

Black Dog · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 08:54:13

I rode in today, and just may need to take the long way home

Temp was an even 40, when I left home, but the weather dude sez we will be close to 70 again, this afternoon

Have a great weekend eeryone!

qc-teky · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 09:03:54

Nice ride in this morning, 43 miles, 46 degrees at my house, 53 by the time I made down to Memphis.
Takin' a halfer today a 12:30 - gotta go pay a speeding ticket (got it in my truck), then the rest of the day is ours.
Wonder where we'll ride today? Gotta think about it some.

Your covered as long as you're looking for a job as you ride along. Good luck on your "ride".

MAD6Gun · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 09:06:58

I rode in today. Since i am STILL waiting on the painter to finish my fender and "new" bags. I rode the Nighthalk. Was 36 and sunny when I left this morning but its supposed to be 70 and sunny this afternoon. Might take the long way home..........

G-Man · Fri 17, Apr 2009, 09:19:07

Always a better day at work when I ride there.

Black Pearl's Captain · Mon 20, Apr 2009, 06:29:40

OK I'm here. Anyone else?

Joe Hummer · Mon 20, Apr 2009, 06:41:48
