VOZ, weather the same here. Saw 3 bikes on the way in during my 15 mile ride in. The only "excitement" was "educating" a M3 owner. No wonder I don't normally ride to work.

I rode to work, and while inside the training facility, it poured.....  But it passed before I got off work and had to ride home.....

I would, but my camera is at home in my briefcase. It would have been a choice between cigarettes or camera. The Camera would lose out every time. Priorities, ya know?

Where's the bikeland.org cap? Talk about a failure to "represent".

I basiclly got cut off by a car on the highway, then clipped a car that was stopped in the right side emercency lane. No where for me to go. I had slowed alot by the time I hit the other car, back wheel was in the air. After picking up the bike today from wrecking yard, I think I could have rode it home except for the punctured tank leaking gas. Very lucky I guess.

That's exactly why I bought my KLR , jobsites are a real bastard , not to mention how very careful and respectful the co-workers are around your baby ... pricks - all of them And speaking of pricks , you have to scope out the area every day for nails and screws these geniuses drop all over the place .
