So how many of you guys rode that triple to work today? It was a beautiful morning to ride here in NC today. Prolly about 60 deg this morning, and supposed to warm up to around 85 and just a beautiful day! Ya know, before my speedy I didn't even enjoy riding to work!?! It just wasn't fun on a R1. But now that I've got my speedy in my life, I enjoy riding her anywhere! I love my bike! Get out and enjoy the day if it's nice in yo zipcode, even if it's just a short commute to work. Btw America, don't know how many of you know about the National Ride to Work Day, but it's coming up July 19, so let's show America how many of us enjoy riding!!!

I work out of my house ...it's the one thing I wish I could do with the S3 is ride to work. Oh well, working out of a home office also has some pretty sweet upsides to it.

I did but I had no idea there was a Ride to Work Day. That's pretty cool but I vote it's everyday!

I'm gonna get my S3 out and ride around the block for 20 minutes and then back to the home office so I can ride to work.

That's one way to do it! And yes Kdriven, I agree somewhat. I just think everyday should be ride day, not necessarily to work! :-D Of course, some people might not consider this work! :jest:

Oh fine! Y'know, I ride to work 99% of the time, but today I'm in the van on accounta I need to gas it up - out-of-town gigs tonight and tomorrow - and I've got to drop off laundry and pick up groceries.

How come nobody informed me of this sooner?

And actually, much to my SHAME, this makes an entire week that Speedy has sat idle while the workhorse BMW has had another 150 miles put on her.

Y'all are just teasing me 'cuz Speedy is wadded up into a ball. I might be back on 2 wheels by July 19. I don't normally ride to work as commuting has the highest risk/benefit ratio I know of, but I'm willing to make an exception.

I took the day off so no riding for me, but I usually commute so I will have to make sure I am on 7/19
