If I had a job right now I'd be commuting on the bike. Oh well guess I'll just have to suffer riding around all day in the mountains instead.... sucks!

51 mile commute and a toll bridge so its def worth it for me. toll is 11 bucks roundtrip in a car but only half that on a bike.

I've been commuting daily for about 6 years now. Once you figure out how to carry everything it's not a pain.

Mine is too, but I still ride... because I can't do 120 in the Volvo as easily as I can on the FZ.
