Wow, nice pix Apeman! What floor is your office on?

I've got a service van from work I can't leave overnight at work or we risk Vandalism. :(

When I work Saturdays, if the weather is nice I take my bike, 20 kms. :woohoo:

Everyday, except pouring rain at the time I leave. I ride about 12 miles each way. I ride in the winter if I know the roads are ice free.

have ridden my 79 kz650 the 27 mile to work at least 3 out of 5 work days year round for the last 19 years. I love the weather in central Florida, this is why they call this the sunshine state!!!

I ride the KZP daily unless it's raining. My biggest fear is the possibility of hitting deer (especially around mating season when they're everywhere).

My office is on the 38th floor of 44 Montgomery Street. Not a bad place to do my business.

Z1rick, I am happy you noticed my bike. The KZ750H gets lots of comments from fellow bike commuters. It is about the cleanest KZ around downtown SF in daily use. I sometimes ride my KZ750E, but for some reason I like the vibe of the KZ750H better, plus it was my first KZ. (We all understand the nostalgic allure of our first experience.) We should get the NorCal KZriders together. I believe there are enough of us now to make it more than a solo event. Maybe a weekend breakfast meet and short ride?

I have a company provided truck for possible after hours service, so no commuting to here. I do ride out to the farm frequently. Often I need the pickup to do something else so I don't ride as much as I'd like.
