ASHMARC, I understand the 120s and the 30s, I live just south of you 'bout a hun'erd miles or so, but it does feel good gettin' on the putt and leaving work.
But you guys have a lot worse traffic up there, then we do down here in Laughlin/Bullhead.

The day I don't have fun on it is the day you can take me out behind the barn and put a .22 behind the ear... so yeah it's a toy... HOWEVER...

It is my only transport 3 seasons out of the year (City Bus in the winter)...

Well, when you get here,make sure you stop at the Belle. That's where I work. Everybody "knows" me and my bike.

I would have to say a combination of transport and play combined. If weather permitted I'd ride every day. It'd be nice to say it's just a toy, but them with toys, only play for a while then the bike sits. I think if you really have the "bug" as some recent cold weather riding posts will attest, any ride at any time beats the hell out of sittin in a freakin cage!

I started riding as basic transportation back in college, I prefer to ride than drive, so transportation for me.
