OT: Riding In To Work (Motorcycle)

I have been riding in to work by motorcycle for the last 4 months. I got my motorcycle endorsement at the end of April. I took the Team Oregon Basic Rider Training before getting my endorsement. It was a very fun class. And I really felt prepared to ride on the road after it. So, I'd recommend it or it's equivalent in your state.

There were a few reasons that I got a motorcycle. One was to just do something different. You know, shake things up. Another was to save some money. With selling my car and getting a cheap motorcycle, I was able to knock a few grand off my credit cards. :-) Also, I'm getting about 55 MPG. When I fill up, it's like $8. Oh, and insurance is like $160/year.

Since I was a new rider, I figured I should get a very cheap bike. That way, I wouldn't cry if I happened to lay it down. So, I got a 1981 Honda CM400 Custom. Here is a picture of my commuter bike. I've already put on almost 2000 miles.

Anyone else ride a motorcycle in to work?
