Thinking about getting a bike as my daily and the teg as a backup for rain/moving stuff.

Hows it to ride everyday?

 

It's the only reason I look forward to my daily commute.

 

its great as long as its not raining or 100 degrees out.

 

it is fine. Kind of inconvient sometimes but you adapt.

 

I do...it kinda sucks because I then no longer look forward to riding when I get home from work. I drive more than 25,000miles a year and do not want to put that many miles on the bmw already...so I ride my bike or the scooter as much as possible

 

i didnt have a car all summer because my sister needed it.

Was dailying the sv650 til july and started dailying the rc51 from the trade.

All things considered, it took a lot of the fun out of riding. Im getting the car back this next weekend so im probably going to take a short hiatus from riding until i actually WANT to ride my bike again lol

 

Im with you on that one. but I didn't lend my car out. My radiator took a dump on me and then ordered some other stuff that took so long to get. So I've been riding everyday my only transport.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut Im working on the car right now so hopfully I'll have it done today and leave the bike alone for a month LoL

 

Yea after a while it seems like you are taking less joyrides out on the bike but still commuting with it is fun. Better gas mileage and what not I still do it as much as I can.

 

I couldnt imagine having to deal with traffic, lane sharing ftw , ride every day except when the rain is too bad.

 

40 MPG, high 9 sec speeds on command, attention getter. Yeah, I daily my bike.

same

 

Daily, Fontucky to Foothill Ranch.
60 miles each way.
I do it because it easily turns a sometimes 2-3 hour drive home to an hour every time.

 

I daily mine. I enjoy it. I've been even riding the past couple days and this hurricane is coming through. I don't mind riding in the rain that much.

Why? To keep the value on the car?

 

I daily my bike now since the a/c in my car doesnt work.

Yea pretty much. I got the car like 4 months ago and already put 8k on it just from commuting to work. And while I have a bike that gets 40mpg, and a scooter which gets 90 +mpg, i really do not have to drive the car when I dont need to.

My 1987 honda elite 150 scooter takes 1.5 gal of gas to fill up. My work is 24miles each way, or about 50 miles a day if I dont detour. On that one tank of gas I can go back and forth 3 times. So almost 150 miles on one tank of gas. Now that is pretty damn good while still being able to hit 65

 

Ive been dailying my bike for the past 4 1/2 months

 

people who daily with bike, how far is the work/school. if i get this job, it will be total 21miles.

 

i was a 25 minute commute, now i'm only a 10 minute pending on traffic.

as far as the summer goes i have been riding to campus like 3 miles each way everyday and on weekends i go home. 90 miles home, canyons on sat morning sometimes (but not recently because i oversaturated myself with riding) and 90 back to school.

Im done with school for quite some time start this friday so ill probably put the bike out of sight til im itching to ride again (which will realistically be like 2 days)

well see

awesome gas mileage on the scooter! And i'm in the same boat, i try not to put a million miles on my bmw, so i only drive it to work maybe once a week if that.

 

Some of us have two bikes; one for commuting and the other for fun. It helps keep the fun factor up.

 

YUP

I've been thinking about getting another bike to commute on, since my 10 goes through tires like crazy and really doesnt get much better gas mileage then my bmw.
