    First commute

    Started using the bike for the commute to work yesterday. So much fun I had to take the long route home, and I think I'll have to do it again tonight!

    Welcome along to the madhouse Mikeyg!

    The long way home can sometimes use up several tanks of gas....

    Beware the dreaded Toyota Celica when lane splitting - for some reason their drivers seem to have zero peripheral vision...

    Welcome to both newbies. One from each island too.

    I also commute by bike, but only 10 Kms each way.

    Best part of the commute is getting off the state highway and getting a couple of bends in!
