I hear ya. But I don't like ridin' guilty. And who does your work for ya'? I always had to go cause I got too much **** to do.
I've been riding to work every day except today because it was supposed to rain and I have to us my trunk for groceries.
The only problem at my work is the parking lot speed bumps. there on a steep hill and of course my nightster loves to bottom out on them most of the time.

There's a lot of great loops I can make in just under an hour during my lunch break. Lotsa mountainous backroads, twisties, long and flat and wide open farm roads, around lakes, rivers, around the city, out to the country and back. It's a very diverse landscape around here. So I ride to work whenever I can. Plus, I can ride the HOV lane on the bike which cuts my commute in half.

Life is short enough.. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do (well it helps when your caught up at work and things are slow).

I could been a Poser today the weather man told use it was going to rain. I have had a couple drops fall out of the sky. Just think off all the things I do on those bikes. I can do my grocerie shopping. Pick up a freind on the way home for a long ride. Ride the Poser on the porch in there rocking chairs all PW. Dam life is good.

I ride in once in a while, but to tell you the truth the road I take is like driving in the indy 500. it's only 9 miles and you have never seen so many people racing to jobs they probably hate anyway. It's nothing to get passed by someone texting or putting on makup at 85 mph in a 55 zone..
Kinda scary but much safer in my big truck....Thats just the way it is.

+1...........and I am glad I am done with night shift. After 3+ years working nights, it has been much more fun riding to work and back during the day. Riding home at 2am in the dark and cold, then worrying about drunks running me over was not as fun, but that didn't seem to stop me.
