My Name Is Dave

The car's in the shop and the weather is nice, so add one over here. We have had a record of over one week without rain in Portland, so I put on quite a few miles as of late.  :)

Rode in to work also today...there are actually less bikes in the motorcycle parking area than usual...could be the heat is driving people away, but who knows...anyway, I rode, as I do most days.... :thumb:

I ride to work 95% of the time, and I rode today! So I guess I'm in!  ;)

Fewer bikers than normal on the road and at work today.  :(  The forcasters called for thunderstorms.  We had one downpour mid-late morning, but I'm hoping it'll be dry for my ride home, if not, I brought the rain gear :thumb:

DAMN!!!!  I had to carry big crap to work today.  That figures...  I ride to work every day but "Ride to Work day."   :x

Yeah rode in today. For LA I agree with scootr I saw less bikes than usual. :dunno:  I had a vision of the whole lot full of bikes becasue I know so many people that ride. I think it might have to be with the laid back west coast life. We will have our ride to work day a few days late, when we get around to it. ;)

Very pretty weather in S. Cal, but I didn't see many bikes on the freeway! (I saw only 3 bikers...) Where were you guys?!

MstrsLilBrat you are hot.

I work two jobs and I rode to them both today.  It was beautiful and there were tons of other fellow bikers out down here in the New River Valley :)  When i get off at midnight... :cheers:

I rode to work today, just like any other day, except that I had to bump start it this morning (my first time too!)  :lol:  Awesome weather here in Vancouver.

I can't find any Canadian organization (e-mail or web site) that's officially offering the same promotional info that the U.S. organization is doing.  All you need is a local dealer to support it and it's as good as recognized.

With the compressed riding season you've got in Edmonton, "every day" should be a riding day so you get your hours of enjoyment in before the snows of October...

It was ambient 95 degrees fahrenheit. Pushing 115 on the blacktop..
To make matters worse, its pouring rain both to the north and the south making it 99% humidity where I am..  :x

Decided it was just best to take the air conditioned cage to work..

Look on the bright side -- you'll be riding when I'll be shoveling snow.  Then I'll be the one driving to work...

I called in sick on "Ride to Work Day" and did a Malibu ride.  Man was it hot!  I had to keep my shirt soaked with water under my leathers.

I saw lots of bikers on PCH, but only 3 riding around the canyons...  heaven (besides the heat).
It's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain

Oops, I forgot which day it was happening, and didn't do anything special. :oops:  Lucky for me, I ride to work every day anyways  :thumb: and the weather has been perfect here for 3 days.
