Wife asked me the other day, "when was the last time you drove your truck?"
It's been over a month since it was even started...to move out of the way to work on the bike!!!
Every day here...106 miles round trip.

Ditto. Substitute D.C. for Chicago.

I ride to work most of the time, but it's only an 11 mile trip one way.

I rode mine to work today.

54 miles for a normal round trip, but will probably take the long way home this afternoon.

Got my bike Tuesday evening. Ridden it to work ever since. Only about 12 miles door to door, but it's a blast even if I have to watch out for the idiots. So far, they've all been very respectful and careful around me. Refreshing since I used to get cut off by some idiot doing a lane change every single day when I was driving my truck.

I ride to work about 50% of the time. I live pretty close, and just ride through a residential area to get to work... never make it out of second gear. I usually try to take the long way home and get a ride in after work. If I didn't live so close to work, I'd probably commute on the Harley a lot more.

I have rode mine to work for the last 2-3 weeks straight. 16 mile rounder. Even if they are calling for rain in the evenings. I don't care to get wet going home but can't be wet on the way in. I gotta be purdy for work. LOL
