    Funny, I ride to work EVERY DAY, but I didn't have to go in to the office today! LOL

    But it is my 6-year anniversary of riding my own scoot. I put 51,000 miles on the lowrider, 15,000 on the softtail, and over 40,000 on the glide.

    Yeah, I think I am ok missing out on riding to work just this once. LOL

    Fefe can I pack my wife up and ship her to you so some of your confidence can rub off on her? She needs the woman's touch when it comes to riding I think! LOL

    Well, I got my own confidence out of necessity. It was a Tuesday when I picked up my bike from the dealership. The next day, I wanted a friend to come take me riding after work, but he couldn't make it. So the next day, which WAS ride your bike to work day, if I remember correctly, (or maybe it had been Wednesday) I got up, and said, "Well, if I'm afraid to ride the damn thing on my own, then I don't deserve to have it."

    That was the first day I rode it to work.

    I'm working at home today so it was a ride around the block and back. Not the normal tally for a ride to work day but it will have to do this year.

    Pretty much any day I can, I ride to work. It's a bitch sitting in my office all day waiting for quitting time though, so I can get back on and ride home!

    I guess I could get me one of those tiny bikes and set it in the hall by door, then ride it through the corridor to the main block door and then down the ramp to the garages, may even save me a second or two from walking!!! ...Lol...

    I saw that, but when I looked at my front tire I saw some silver streaks...yikes! The bike shops are closed today and will try to see about a new tire and mounting tomorrow.

    I ride most every day I work. I love the looks I get from the cagers. They think I'm a cop and slow down!    This is the first shift of my 2 weeks on night rotation and it was a beautiful ride in.

    I don't have any work to go to. I don't own a cage, I ride everyday to maintain my sanity if that counts on "Ride to Work Day
