So... did anyone else ride to work today besides me?

I've ridden to work every day for the past two months, including today.

Haven't seen many other bikes around though.... maybe it's too hot.
Ride it like you think owning it matters.

I think I saw less bikes at work today than on a normal day.

8) ... I didn't even own a bike (not one I'd ride anyway) 'til May 1st... :laughing: Took me about 3 weeks to get through the break-in, do the initial maintenance, and get comfortable with the 200km daily commute... since then I haven't driven the car to work once. :D

Yup rode in today. I had to pick the bike up at the dealership so I went in late.

The new Progressive fork springs really make a difference. I couldn't get too crazy though as I'm also wearing down the rubber on the new front tire.

Two fresh tires just put on yesterday and, yup, I rode today. Also left work early and five of us rode to Quaker Steak and Lube for Bike Night. My buddies have an '04 Fat Boy with the 1550 kit, a 2005 Suzuki C50t, a '99 V-Star 1100 Custom, and a custom-built rigid bar-hopper with a springer front end and a 96ci S&S. Pretty good turn out tonight, too.
