    Yikes! I take it by the fact you've posted that you escaped death then? Now you've dropped that bomb Hels you have to tell all.

    I had to cage it today too as I'm moving stuff around for a client, it really really sux. I don't know why cagers get so upset with bikes passing them, all I felt was envy.

    No it doesn't.

    I don't mind comuting to work in the car, especially when the weather's all humid and horrible, and I'm so tired I'd likely crash, die, explode into flames and die all over again if I rode the VFR to work.
    Either that, or get another ticket (although the most recent one was in the car - my first speed camera ticket ever, and first ticket in the car ever! Yay!)
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Sounds like you commute at the same time as me. You wouldn't happen to be the red bandit that travels north on state 2 at about 7.30ish would you?

    Umm, hmm. VFM, it's not often I find myself disagreeing with you, but... Actually, I agree with the tired bit, and the humid bit. But, I drove in this morning (at 6am to beat the traffic), and to be honest, I'd rather be on the bike.

    I saw a SV650 the other morning - licence plate was IH8Qs...
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Ahh I've ridden in with you a couple of times, I'm a blue and silver Honda buzz bomb with a black bag lashed to the passenger seat.

    Well I had a great ride to work this morning and no one tried to kill me . Though taking the bike is unfortunately a lot less than taking the car. so i have more suck days than good. just enjoy make sure you enjoy the good days all that more.

    It makes little difference to me - the trip by car takes a few more minutes than the bike, which is almost canceled out by the few minutes at each end putting all my bike gear on and taking it off. Usually I prefer the bike regardless, but my enjoyment factor is rather low today.
    The biggest thing is if I have to pop out of the office during the day (which I've had to do every day this week), it's a drag having to do the 'bike gear on / bike gear off' thing.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.
