There's 12 people out in the shop and 5 of us ride. ( 6 if you count the guy who lives 3 miles away and rides his bicycle)
Dave has a tricked out Kawa KZ750 & a Triumph T100
My ZR1100
Jeremy's bandit
Jeff ( welder) just got a HD 883 ( basic model and it looks great )


and of course the 285 lb guy on the 50cc scooter

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.

My new OIC (officer in charge) just sold his 03 600rr before he left... he had it for 3 years never dropped it... 3 days after he sold it... the kid totalled it in a parking lot...


there's probably 4 or 5 that ride sportbikes, another 3 or 4 that ride harleys... out of 400...

none of us actually have a ride here... thank god... as I'd be one jealous mother fucker...

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.
