Update. We moved to Monument Colorado and now I’m self employed. Some days I have meetings all over between Denver and Colorado Springs. This is the motorcycle heaven, which is why we moved here.
Traded the Fat Bob in on an Ultra Limited. What a difference! Yesterday I rode over 200 miles for work. Loved every minute.

I commute 14 miles to work on my bike. I look forward to the ride home, especially on stressful days.

Do be careful of the human road apples in the Denver area.

I ride my Dyna every day, but my commute is rather short; about 8 miles each way, but it's been pretty cold here lately (between 15-35* in the morning, and anywhere from upper 30s-low 50s in the afternoon). My route is so short I have to wonder if I'm generating enough power through it to recharge the battery. However, I'd still rather ride than be in a cage!

I have a company car but still like to ride the bike often. It's really nice to take a 30 or 45 minute ride during lunch.

No. Too much traffic on my 45 mile trip up and down the Cajon Pass on I15 not to lane split but my better half says she'll give all my stuff to somebody I don't like if I get hurt or killed doing it so I just take the car....
