Sure, I'll be happy to remind when...... Hey, wait a minute..... You'll be "retired" from work by then!  Won't you be on your "World Domination Tour" by then, leisurely chalking up mileage on your ST1300, traversing this great country of ours?   ::)

Isn't every day Ride to Work Day?  For me, half the fun is riding to work.  The other half is riding back.

Because you ride to work every other day.   ;D

If I find a job and I'm working that day I'd love to ride to work.   :)

My sentiments exactly. I rode 66 days to work so far this year.

Makes a day at work a whole lot more interesting.

If riding the Oklahoma/Arkansas Talamena Skyway on June 20th is considered work, then I'm so there. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hey, I work at home ~ when I work.  So I guess I'll have to get the dirt bike out and ride around the yard...  ::)

I do most every day.

When I arrived at work yesterday I was suprised to see 2 motorbikes there before me which never happens. It's normaly just me yet we finished up with 4 in total.

I thought it curious and only found out today the reason why.

I did ride... my '93 Rocky Mountain Fusion bicycle.  But today I was tired and rode the R65.

Hardly a day goes by that I don't have a close call and that's in a car.  My route to work is on one of the busiest freeways in the metromess.  Dallas drivers are just way too aggressive at rush hour to risk the pleasure of riding.  Wish I could though and hats off to those that do.

And Monte, no it doesn't count because you are on summer vacation anyhow.  Enjoy the Talamena Skyway ride though.  At least you have pretty good weather for it.

Well, I rode to work today, and then after getting back home, realized what the date was.  Didn't remember what yesterday was!  Story of my life.... A day late and a dollar short.   ::)   Crap.
