I have a few minor things to fix on my 750F but hopefully ill be done by then.
I want to start commuting to work on a daily basis, do a lot of you guys do it?

I don't work Wednesdays.  But I may go in anyway!
Go metric, every inch of the way!

The last year I lived far enough from work I rode just about everyday even in the winter.   Was a mild winter so only a few days below 20F and snow kept me from riding.   Now I just walk the 200 ft.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

I used to ride 60 miles a day, every day I could (~4 to 5 days a week).  Now, my new job is closer (25 miles a day) and I STILL ride every day I can (~4 to 5 days a week). 

It never gets too cold here to ride, but if it's actually raining when it's time to leave the house, or if the rain chance is, like, 70% or better....

Would love to ride into work, but I work in an area  called East Croydon. Any of you guys been to East Croydon? Don't. A guy got stabbed in front of the office in March. No-one raised so much as an eyebrow. Sirens going off all day long.
So I'm a bit concerned it would get nicked, or get bike-jacked at some traffic lights.

70 miles round trip per day here.
Were doing the "ride to work" day as well - even got the company to buy breakfast and make us t-shirts!
We have an odd assortment of bikes here, everything from Silver Wing Scooter, harley, BMW, Ducati, etc.

I'll pray for a high temp below 110°F that day.
