10ish miles 15-17 mins. Twice a day. Go home at lunch (1hr lunch) to work my Black Lab pup to hopefully one day be a decent duck dog. Then back to work. Now that the days are getting longer again Ill cut out the lunch time run.

I typically commute on my motorcycle though, so it's a pleasant ride into and back from work.

Difficult part is wearing gear to be warm in the mornings and not overheat in the afternoon on the way back.

I have the same problem, no storage on the bike so I have to wear all the gear back home. As long as I don't have to stop too long it's ok.

About 30 miles each way. It takes me about 1 hour because it is all back roads.

You need good gear with removable linings and vents. Button up in the AM and just wear the shell in the PM.

Check out this place, it is where I have bought all my gear for the last 10 years. You can get screaming deals on closeouts!

Hopw can you not have storage? :shrug:

Hell, I have saddle bags for my CBR1100xx as well as a rear rack/bag/back pack. I've even delivered a spare tire on the thing!

I've seen lots of different bags on a boulevard 109 and I think they all look like crap, the same with windshields. So yea I could add storage but haven't found anything that doesn't make it look like a papa's bike.

Mines about 12 miles one way. I'm lucky I have a company car so I don't even notice the price of gas until I fill up they Pathy on the weekend...... Then I nearly have a heart attack!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :lmao:
