Today I took a ride to my work. Not a perfect weather here. quarter mile visibility and fog with a little wind. But the thrilling ride ended in the parking lot after 30min. After 100+ miles of practice, now i have started to use my 900LT for commute to work.

raja... Both my wife and I commute on our bikes. We get to work fresh and ready to go after the ride. I have only missed nine days riding this year (AZ)minus those when I was on business trips. I even rode to Denver and back on a business trip, 876 miles each way, non-stop!
We share your joy!

Congrats!
I find the chilly air to be an eye-opener. And yes, I feel I am more refreshed than if I take the benz, and smoke ciggies, and drink my coffee, and swear at the traffic!
I like to think that every day I ride to work adds a couple hours to my life.

I only take the bike to work every now and then, but I really enjoy it. It's 33 miles one way through hellish traffic. :shock: Plus I don't like riding in my dress clothes. I feel like a dork. :tongue: But on casual days...I ride!
Congrats though!

Man, I thought I was the only one with that odo problem.:smile: Just tell her that it is a common problem with all the 900's and there is just no way to fix it:wink:I don't know if I will be saving gas money. I jokingly told my wife that something is wrong with the odomoeter on my new Vulcan 900 Custom...I told her it used to be 3 miles to work one way...now for some straaaaange reason it is 12-14!!!
If you wanted to drink coffee, smoke, and re-heat your McBreakfast on the way to work you should have gotten a Goldwing
I'm SOOOOO jelous of you right now!!!
I'm putt'n the bike down for the winter this weekend
Ride around the block once for me, tell your wife that's the extra miles
What size auxiliary tanks (gas and septic) do you carry that allows you to go 876 miles non-stop? :smile:

Yep...sometimes I get to my street...and I just keep going. There's no explaining it! Must be some kind of Twilight Zone thing. :smile:I don't know if I will be saving gas money.

I hope that mental image doesn stick in my mind :?Just don't want to be the bike behined...pun inteneded
LOL...that actually happened to me yesterday...I meant to do just one lap around the outer drive here in north Colorado Springs (2.5-3 miles) but when I got back to work and felt for my brake and attempted to counter steer slightly to the right I suddenly experienced a temporary mechanical malfunction!
Almost happened again about 3 miles later! LOL!!!
