There are two of us who ride sportbikes, and people think we are crazy. Another co-worker used to have a cruiser but gave it up when she had her baby girl.

a bunch of people, too many too count. I don't know 80% of the people at the plant because most of them are contractors that come and go. There are a couple of guys in my group that do, I am working on bringing another engineer with me to the track that rides a red gixxer 600.
Two other guys I talk to regularly, a manager that has a motard and another engineer that rocks both a drz motard and a super duke, just sold a bad ass ktm motard too.

I think we've got a total of about 7 or 8 people who ride - 1 guy in Purchasing, 2 guys in transportation, one of our truck drivers, 1 of the production managers, and a few guys out in the plant. And then me,

We have a 3 story parking garage here at work. We had at least one dedicated motorcycle parking spot on each floor. In each of those spots, you could park 6 to 9 motorcycles each. They have been pretty full every day this summer. So they just gave us an additional parking spot on the 1st floor. There are easily 20 + bikes in the garage every day.
