Thanks alot for the replies. The ride isnt a bad one at all. If anyone knows north Texas it will be from Weatherford to Ft Worth by Lockeed. Thinking of a Train or Xbones still. I dont start back to work till mid Aug.

I have a Softail Custom and ride it 20 miles each way. I have the option of taking the freeway or I can take back roads. The back roads are slower so I take them going home. Bike rides nice, a little bumpy on the freeway though. I ride it a couple of days a week, I don't want to wear it out.

10 miles each way through the city, about 25 minutes each way. I only missed around 3 weeks worth last year. Daily driver and wouldn't have it any other way. 06 FXSTI.

I ride my '08 CrossBones to work and back.&nbsp\\;About 50 miles round trip. Difference of $17.00 versus $60.00 a week in gas. As long as it's not raining in the morning,(I hate getting to work with a wet ***) I try to ride. St.Louis, MO. commuter traffic. &nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

40 miles each way on a softail custom.&nbsp\\; Motorcycles get in the HOV lane.&nbsp\\; Makes for a commute of 40 minutes to 90 minutes (DC traffic sux).&nbsp\\; Train ride is an hour and a half anyway and costs 7 bucks each way.
&nbsp\\;
I've had no trouble with overheating even in the awful messups.&nbsp\\; At least now with synthetic and stage 1.
