I'm on paid vacation, but I rode just about every where else today.

If it ain't raining, I'm riding to work. I'm a fair weather rider. Heat & cold don't count - I just hate rain.

Duke McDukiedook · « **Reply #5 on:** June 23, 2011, 10:10:16 AM »

Yeah, rain stinks on a bicycle or motorcycle.

Does bicycle count?

Hey, I didn't know today was Ride to Work day, but I did ride in today. And it's so hot in Orlando in summer, that this is nearly my 'winter'. I tend to ride to work less in July and August than I do in January & February...

Still, it was a beautiful morning ride in, even if my ride home will be 94 degrees with 90% humidity...

We're finally breaking 100 here, but I'm still ridin'. I don't mind the rain so much as the fog come winter. Can't see through it, it stings, just not pleasant.

Warming up here in northern Cal. too. 104 last two days and about 90 today. Makes for a nice morning ride but the ride home is a bit hot...

Not to work, 'cos I retired 19 years ago.

But my last 2 decent rides this month were 900 miles spread over 3 days and 600 miles in 2 days.

I ride to work everyday since I have no car. 50 mile round trip.

Rain, thunderstorms, hail, sunshine, wind. When it snows more than an 1` then I stop.

wardenerd · « **Reply #13 on:** June 24, 2011, 05:14:50 AM »

Yes and it is usually beautiful and cool in the morning. Yesterday afternoon it hailed on me and lightning on a bike is not so much fun. I love riding my bike . Its the only place I am always 20 years old.

I know the feeling. I'm 62 in Aug and when I'm on the bike it's like being a Kid. I'll keep riding till I can't.

Didn't ride my bike to work today but I did use a Yamaha product at work, does that count?

Sorry but Honda never got into making mixing consoles or I'd spec Honda everytime.

For some unexplainable reason, I didn't have a motorcycle for nearly 40 years. Getting the CB550K made a great many of those years melt away, as long as I'm riding it. Yep, the rain finally let up and I rode to work yesterday. Makes going there less unpleasant, and leaving even better!

Riding to work today. Rode to work yesterday and was hit with a fountain soda (?) on the way home late last night. Car was coming the other way on a two lane road, both doing 50mph, and Whump.....liquid all over my visor, definitely wasn't water as it didn't wipe off my visor. Hit me pretty hard, just got my attention. Pretty F*ed up but won't keep me from riding today, I mean what 'er the odds they could hit me two times in a row LOL.

It was my Saturday to work, so jumped on the 750K6. Very nice ride about 70 degrees. It runs so good it's just a pleasure to ride it. I hoping my KO will be road ready in another several weeks.

I probably did.. I am with Andy..
Probably rode 170ish times this year !.. only 1/2 way thru..

anyway about 5/7ths of those or more were to work..

wardenerd · « **Reply #20 on:** July 01, 2011, 04:38:27 AM »

one day in the past month I took the car. all the rest I rode the 550. had to stop for gas this AM 34 miles round trip. I own 4 cars Wife and three kids use the autos. One son rides to class on one of my bikes in a pinch. Not having to have a car to ride to work relieves my guilt for spending money on a hobby

I'm motorcycle only these days, so, yeah. every day is ride to work day!

I've been riding all week, my truck is in the shop with a dead transmission...

Rode to work today on my CB360t. Parked next a Buell Firebolt. My Honda is way cooler.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #25 on:** July 22, 2011, 10:04:17 PM »

I did. 150 miles here and 150 miles back home tomorrow.

I rode today. I ride to work when it's not raining. Usually park next to a Suzuki Boulevard.
