- I've worn an Aerostitch before. Its Texas, they're hot.
- Speeding is fun, obeying the speed limit is boring. - I've ridden in most of the U.S., which is part of the reason riding in DFW sucks. - Tooling around at the speed limit, sitting at red lights, traveling straight highways....boring. Add in the bad drivers and death and it becomes boringly tedious. Even if I do have the couple hours to spare to get to some decent roads the speed limits are low and its boring to me. Definitely not trying to hate on motorcycling, but yea, I've lost interest.

I won't lie...that DOES factor into my decision making. I've achieved A LOT building a better body over the last 7 months...and the thought of missing workouts due to a bike crash doesn't appeal to me.

I've made up my mind....gonna sell the M109-R and put the proceeds into mods for the car. I'm not sure yet if I'll shoot the entire wad on a forced injection system....or just part of it on CAI/Exhaust....I have a lot more due diligence to complete before making THAT decision.
The decision to sell the M109-R is made, though. |

These days I just don't see the fun of commuting unless it's a twisty road or a bumper to bumper highway that I can split through. Otherwise, if it's just normal traffic, I'd rather take the car.
Plus I need to wear nice clothes to work (i.e. pressed shirt and wool pants, sorry but khakis won't do where I work), so the only way I could accomplish that is by driving to work Monday and bringing the other 4 days worth of clothes with me to leave at the office, to change into in the morning after arriving to work. Unless someone has a magical way of folding a dress shirt and pants into a backpack without getting them wrinkled.....I really doubt it. |

I guess most of the people riding to work wear jeans/khakis and a t-shirt or polo. For those of us that work in an office environment, smelling like exhaust fumes and looking like you've never heard of dry cleaning doesn't cut it.
