Benyen Soljax Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I have a Wenger laptop backpack that I use instead of the company supplied briefcase thing. It's great, but I hate backpacks in general on the bike, its a pain. I was thinking more along the lines of a good Tank bag focused on laptops instead. I may breakdown and get some sort of sportbike saddle bags, but I really would like to avoid that for everything but overnight trips.i take my tourmaster tailbag to work every day on my bike. i dont know if i would put my laptop in it though. it holds gym clothes and lunch right now.

sonavabeech Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Saddle bags on my cruiser work out great but when I ride my sportbike, the backpack can be a pain. I have to pack my laptop for work, books for class after work, clear visor for the ride home at night, my pocket book of crap and my monies, and food....gotta have food.....at water too......After all of that, I wouldn't doubt it if it amounted to 15-20 pounds of cargo on my back!

2insanezx10r Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Way too many deer out still at night on my way to work. I'm still waiting for decent morning temps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoh Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I made the ride in... Threw a pair of wind breaker pants over the slacks and was good...Will get to do a practice launch on the bike in work lot... So far I guess I am right at a 2.0 high 1.9 60 ft.

Casper Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I love days like this where even when it's cold as hell in the morning I can still run home just to grab my bike so I have it for the ride home after work.I've met guys that use a motorcycle as primarily transportation and almost never for fun. Even a couple of at the track only types when I lived in CA. Anyone else ride to work when they can? or when do you ride?I love riding to work. Somehow I cut my drive time down from 30mins to 17mins. I'm not quite sure how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty b Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yeah, I love riding into work. Chilly in the morning, but like you said, nice on the way home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyec001 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Worst part about riding to work is waiting to leave so you can finish riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've ridden to work any day it's not raining so far. Pretty cool, considering, just by not driving my truck, I've saved enough in the costs of fuel to more than make the bike payment this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerocrash Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I ride to work everyday there is not snow/ice on the roads. 42 mile round trip, all highway. I think there was only one week this winter I didnt ride at least one day. Full Olympia gear, (not heated) handguards, and a taller windshield make it comfortable down to about 20 degrees. I've put 2000 miles on my 2 bikes since Jan. 1. I would so much rather ride than drive anyday. Plus there is just something cool about being one of the only bikes on the road and people just looking at you like you are crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
