Author Message   Jaimec Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 09:30 am:        This coming Wednesday, July 18, is the annual "Ride to Work Day!" Leave the gas guzzler at home and ride your Buell to work! http://www.ridetowork.org/   Froggy Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 12:48 pm:        Every day for the past 4 months has been ride to work day for me. There has been a few rare exceptions when i needed transport several people before and after work, but other than that i always take the Buell, rain or shine, or like last week, hail.   Buellinachinashop Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 12:52 pm:        I too ride in almost every day. People at work see gas jump to 3.50 a gallon and start asking me for rides in.   Ceejay Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 01:56 pm:        funny how people give you looks, act snide, etc. when gas is 2.50/gal, but when it jumps to over 3.00/gal they become super interested in what your doing...   Jaimec Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 02:32 pm:        Anything that promotes interest in motorcycling is okay by me.   Gearedforacure Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 03:12 pm:        what day is cage to work day? Do we all have to ride bicycles to work since we already ride motorcycles?   Lost_in_ohio Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 03:53 pm:        I ride to work every day.....The local Harley dealer feeds them hotdogs on that day. Ride to work day what a joke. Are we a nation of posers or what?   Buellinachinashop Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 03:57 pm:        If there was a way to add a tank track to my front and rear wheel, I'd ride all year long.   Jaimec Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 04:30 pm:        Buellinachinashop: Get a Ural   Lost_in_ohio Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 05:27 pm:        I am seriously considering a Ural for my winter commuter.....Ural Patrol. Cool a user selectable single or two wheel drive. I am not gonna drive the buell this winter...salt ate it up big time last year.   M2statz Posted on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 11:56 pm:        Just about every day is ride to work day. Our mail LADY delivers our mail year round with her Ural, rain or shine, sleet or snow, she is there every day.

I'm hoping they will have it done in the next couple weeks.   Iamike Posted on Saturday, July 14, 2007 - 08:41 am:        Every day, except one, since the middle of April.   Diablobrian Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 12:30 am:        Chadr81: What kind of repair did it need that would take 2 months? even a complete rebuild shouldn't take that long.   Chadr81 Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 01:27 am:        Took a pretty hard hitting high side. No frame damage. They keep saying that they are waiting on parts, but when I check with the parts dept, the parts are there. I had to order some parts for them because no one was getting it done. Pretty busy time of year I guess. They are supposed to finally get started on it this next week from what the service manager says... we will see.   Steve_mackay Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 03:57 pm:        all but 10 days of 2007, I've rode the S3T, the Wife's CityX, or my TT to work. But having the month of July off, I'm *NOT* going to ride my bike to work on the 18th. It would be a long commute from Newport VT to Brookfield, WI though   Crusty Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 05:00 pm:        having the month of July off   Ducxl Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 05:23 pm:        I'm going to ride.....my Schwinn to work that day.It'll be a long two mile commute tho. I can make it.   Wile_ecoyote Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 09:30 pm:        Lost, check out Speakers Cycle in Steubenville for that Ural. He's got a few and can get anything you want. (I know, SHAMELESS PLUG) I used to wrench for him.   Tx05xb12s Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 09:47 pm:        I walk a mile to work every day. I'm so close it's really a pain in the @$$ to get suited up for the trip, so I only do it on special occasions (like the time I rode the Buell down the hallway inside our building and parked it outside the door to my office). Long story...(-:   Ceejay Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 10:20 am:        http://www.ridetowork.org/files/docs/rtw_transport ation_fact_sheet.pdf interesting reading/numbers...   Aldaytona Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 10:50 am:        Since I ride everywhere I go, everyday, I think I'll take that day off and go nowhere. 0.0 gallons of fuel used, 3-5 gallons of Sam Adams used instead.   Terribletim Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 12:47 pm:        Get this, BOTH my bikes are in the shop right now!   Cityxslicker Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 03:09 pm:        Wednesday is my day OFF work, but I will still be riding.   Buellinachinashop Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 03:24 pm:        "Buellinachinashop: Get a Ural" I got a better idea!   Jaimec Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 03:55 pm:        Dang, I think I'd rather have the Ural!   Chasespeed Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 08:13 pm:        though my bike isnt reg'd..... and hasnt been ridden since april, need tire, then inspection, then reg... I ride my bicycle to work now.... Chase   Hdbobwithabuell Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 09:58 pm:        If I ride to work and then dont really work, does it still count?   Smitty808 Posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2007 - 12:32 am:        But wednesday is my day off!! Does it count if I go to the shop, and do a burnout in the parking lot???   Chadr81 Posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2007 - 03:01 am:        I think that counts Smitty. If not, at least you had fun!
