Ride to work

Ive been riding to work every day for the last 2 months .When the weekend comes around i'm keen for a ride ,but not as keen as i used to be (car)
I'm not sure i like it .

just a little hurdle mate,you`ll get over it,like having a fight with a girl friend,you don`t want to be near her,then you do

yep . if i no im going for a ride i will leave the bandit at home for a couple of days and take the missus bike to work so im excited to ride it again

I found after a while the peak hour grind and the weekend runs were two different things . The advantage of commuting all the time is that if you can`t go for a ride on the weekend at least you`ve ridden during the week and you don`t feel so ripped off

same here, i like commuting to work and riding it on weekend. Cause it is two totally different bikes.... However living out in a bit of country like you do? I guess I can understand your point....

They're two different rides Gus but I understand your thinking as that was part of my frustration.
I suggest you swap bikes occasionally like I do to keep it interesting and batteries fresh.
If nothing else it helps with skills and neck strength.

Having never had a car licence I have only ever ridden or used public transport. As a 50th present to myself this year I might get my car learners permit and start to learn to drive.

I love riding to work and I love riding on weekends.

If I didn't ride to work, I probably would have quit ages ago. I often tell my managers the best part of work is the ride to and from it

I love riding home

I could nearly justify a CBR250R for the commute given rego is cheaper here if under 300cc. I wouldn't want to do much weekend riding on it and that would maintain the pleasure of the Bandit.

I often think the same about the the DRZ400-SM. Small tank, hard seat but so much fun.

350 kls return ,to work in a week for me

No wonder. thats a few ks there gus

I do a 70k round trip every day, and still get great enjoyment out of my weekend rides

think of the positive side, I have to drive each work day and consequently dont get to ride enough- that seriously sux arse too you know.

Ok 20 k round trip a day for me so i head out on the highway now n again

I average around 400-450 km a week to and from work and training. Still, nothing beats a 450km day down the coast or a trip to KV & maq pass

I drive between 650 and 800 kms a day for work in the truck and when the weekend comes it can really be a chore to get out and ride

But when i do drag my sorry ass out on the bike it really is worth the effort

I haven't been at work for a while now due to a work place accident
But I still can't ride since my operation in December and i have to go in for another operation on 19-1-12 and won't be able to ride for at least 3 months

Hopefully it gets better sooner than that I wanna go for a ride
