Did it last year, for about 8000 miles. 30 miles each way. Loved it. Wish I could sell the jeep and just ride the bike. But I keep getting lowballed, Original plan was to pay the jeep off and keep it. But I keep running into the ****ling little problems with my health.

Been out of work 2 weeks now. Just beginning to get the feeling back in my right hand. FOr almost a week my right arm was virtually paralyzed. Only thing anyone, including the Drs, can come up with is that I got stung or bit by something. Blood work didn't show anything at all out of the ordinary. Who knows?

70 miles round trip commuter here unless it's raining, too cold, or I'm just plain lazy to gear up

I had a Dyna, but wanted a few more comforts and ended up on a Ultra. Its how I get around & the wife has the SUV. So not only work but everywhere else too for that matter. Your right about $aving, I'm actually trying to match up my next move to a place I can ride year round.

If it is not raining when I leave for work in Melbourne, Florida, I ride my FLHRC.

If it is raining when I leave work, I have all night to get home.

What better than a Road King to commute on? I ask you?
