So, who rode their F4i to work today? If you forgot about Ride To Work Day, just make up for it tomorrow...

And for all of you guys out of school for the summer still living with mommy--enjoy it, milk it for all it's worth, and don't tell me about it! This is just for us old farts who have to earn a living!

Dude, every day is ride to work day. My Jeep gets so lonely that maybe 1 or 2 days a month I give it a pity drive to work just to keep everything lubed. I even got a 'supersuit' for those rare winter days in GA when it gets down to 16F.

I wish I had a better ride to work. It's just not fun watching your engine overheat between your legs crawling down 400! I wish lane splitting was legal here...

I rode last year when one of the 27 hurricanes made it's way up here -- by the time I got home my boots were full of water. Very invigorating I must say.

And I feel for ya Litre1 -- I work midnite shift so I see all the overheaters heading in to Atlanta when I'm on my way to beddy-bye in Conyers every morning.

I rode. Just like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before. Today was special though. Apparently word got out, I have seen tons of bikes today and the m/c lot is full, and its never full.

I think you might want to check on that again unless they passed some new legislation very very recently. I found this on the site called: http://www.pamsp.com/MotorcycleLaws.aspx

(b) Overtaking and passing - The operator of a motorcycle shall not overtake and pass in the same lane occupied by the vehicle being overtaken.


I also looked on the AMA website, which lists all of the major laws for each state and it just mentioned lane sharing. There is a difference, now in PA you can ride next to your buddy in the same lane, "abreast" as they call it. I would hate to hear you got hemmed up for doing that stuff and its not really legal.

I live in sunny southern california. I ride 130 miles to and from work everyday (I don't know about you fellas in the other states, but that's a hell of a commute out here). So, ya, I rode today. And lane splitting, if not legal, is definitely practiced a lot on our crowded freeways. I wish you all could do the same, it makes sitting through traffic so much better, because we aren't actually sitting through it.

I ride my bike to work everyday, and we hardly have any bike laws down here and cops aren't allowed to chase you.

Hehe, I'm from Lebanon, but I've been living in Dubai, UAE for almost 3 years now, lived 4 years in Canada before that.

So basically I can't get speeding tickets, i can't get chased, i can ride on the shoulders if i want, i can split lanes, I can't get parking tickets, it just goes on and on...

I rode to work one day last Feb when it was 19 degress in the morning here in CO. It was worth it because by the time I rode home it was in the 50's.
