I'll be on two wheels, but then I am every other day too.

I don't think it's a bad thing to encourage the weekenders to get out and commute. The more people are aware of motorcycles, the better.

How about this: post a picture of you and/or your bike at work. First prize - a dozen donuts from Cheap.

Okay, I rode to work (as usual). Sadly, however, not on the triple, on accounta first I had to go to the gym, so one saddlebag was packed with clothes to change into. And since we are having one of those Compulsory Your-Coworker-Is-Having-A-Birthday-So-You-Must-Contribute-Whether-You-Like-It-Or-Not deals, I had to stop by and pick up a bunch o' two-liter bottles o' soda on the way in. Kinda hard to carry all that on the Speed Triple.

I did, however, class up the joint by parking between two Harleys - one Road King and one Screamin' Eagle Electra Glide, both with apes and fringe hangin' from the grips. Man, I wish I had my camera.

I may go home and switch to the Triple and get the camera during lunch, on accounta I think it would be fun to get a shot of Speedy sandwiched between the two Hawgs, and besides - it makes me feel decadent when I actually get to decide which bike I feel like ridin' any particular day.
