Commuting
This morning in San Diego County it was a little cooler, so I put on the full face and headed to work. What a beautiful morning, crisp air and wispy clouds. I feel GREAT being able to ride 55 miles every day even if it is to and from work. I took a little longer route this morning (oops missed the exit, darn) and had some fun. I sure missed riding while I was building this thing, had to sell my other bike to afford to build this one. Gonna miss it again this winter when I tear it down to paint it.
I even had a smile on my face when I got stopped for having no license plate and a warning for going 5 mph over the speed limit. Just smiled and handed the officer my temporary registration, license and proof of insurance. I think the officer was enjoying the morning too.
Hope you all feel as good as I do this morning.

RE: Commuting
I ride to work every morning and I have to admit that it is best parts of my work day. I look forward every morning to going out, firing up my scoot and hitting the road. In the afternoon, I always feel a twinge of excitement as I walk to the parking lot, hop on my bike and ride off into the sunset. Its a great feeling.

I agree, just slap on the leather jacket and gloves and you're set. I rode in the other week when it was down to 42 degrees...we should be so lucky here in DAGO

This was a joke right? Put your pants and shirt on, then you should be fine.

RE: Commuting
Saw this old topic and had to respond. Not only is commuting via bike more pleasurable but there is a bit of gas savings and, especially, the one to two hours a day of time. I take the 91 fwy 45 miles each way and with it being continually under construction coupled with the use of the car pool lane and splitting, I mean "sharing", lanes the time saving difference is incredible. Bad thing is due to the hairy commute I don't ride for "fun" as much anymore.
