Mine is 100 and that is why I'm not commuting anymore. Between 77 and 85 I figure I played roulette as long as I can get away with it. Not to mention I need my bike to last, the new VFR is fugly!!

Mileage for driving back and forth to work? Never heard of it, seriously. Isn't that part of having a job?...Getting back and forth to work?

Yes... but my base work location is 2 miles from home. Takes 3 mins. I also have 1 more station and 3 more junctions I have to go to regularly.

Work is suppose to provide a truck at the base location for me to use to the other locations. We use to have it. But as part of reducing spending some moron figured it was cheaper to pay for the shitty colorado truck and pay 3 dudes $300+ a month in milage.

F it! I'll take the milage. I make out like crazy on the bike plus I'm on the bike. When I get a new car that gest better mpg then I'll make out there as well. I dont care. I'm just glad I don't have the 1-800 blow me sticker on the back anymore. Plus regardless of when/where, they will never know when/if I get into a accident. F them and that BS. They don't pay my insurance or my deductable. They can kiss it. They do say that I'm suppose to follow all rules like it is a company truck... again. F them... I'll do what I want its my car, they are only paying for its depreciation and expense.

Cutty's rule of thumb.

If you have a deductible on your insurance, you should have that much $$ available to pay said deductible to get your shitz fixed when it gets fucked up.
