Feel lucky... Riding is frowned on here at work, even if your taking your annual required MSF course. Then your hobby is taking time from the command, and don't get me started on the endless lectures of "why does HD cost so much."

Count your blessings no matter how simple they are.

TO34 you mean to say that your job looks down on riding? I never heard of that. How can a manager tell you how to get to work?

I guess I was fortunate as my employer bought me a new roadking every year and insisted that I ride it at least 40 hours a week, fortunately I did get 3 days off a week so I could ride my own bike lol

Sounds like a decent guy to be your boss. I wish I could get paid to go riding for the day.
