Yes! I rode my F6B to work today! YAAAAHOOOOO! about 17 miles each way and mostly freeway. Ya know I can never get on a freeway by myself and not cruise at at least 80MPH on this bike.
Suppose to be about 112 degrees for the ride home today, yuppers, that will be a warm ride! LMAO!
DID YOU RIDE YOUR BIKE TO WORK TODAY? :icon_biggrin:
Was 47 deg when I left this morning and it will be about 80 deg for the ride home. Perfect. I ride 35 miles each way.
I find myself riding my bike to work everyday. I used to not like to ride it to work because of the high risk(traffic and police) low reward(scenery and adventure) as opposed to taking it out on the weekend or on vacation. But this bike is just too addicting to leave home,and I know winter will be here before you know it.
Let’s see...$100-120 to fill the truck very week (F250), or $10-18 bucks a week for the F6B. Snow, sleet, and rain be damned, I'm riding! If you got the gear you can ride the ride, not to mention it’s far more relaxing and enjoyable than slogging around in the truck every day...
27 miles each way, M thru F. I run I-17. Where u at?
I'm retired. However, I do ride my F6B to the Indian Casino in Oklahoma 100 miles round trip 2-3 times a week to play Texas holdem, I guess that is like riding to work. And, the speed limit on I35 North in North Texas is 75. This bike liking 80 mph is no problem around here. It is an addicting motorcycle to ride. I just turned 7200 miles since February 26 when I took delivery of my F6B and like it more every time I ride it!
My kids and grandkids live in the Country Club in Anthem. We are out there three or four times a year. I need to bring the F6B out there when we visit sometime.Quote:

Unfortunately, I haven't ridden every day since I just finished my 66 Land Cruiser SWB pick up last fall and I've been bombing that around a lot. I bought a bikini top for it so I could drive it on those days with a chance of rain.
Pic is from last weekend at an off road park.
I too ride every day to work.
San Francisco bay area traffic is bad. But I can split lanes witch is a adventure in its self.
Love this bike. :biker:
I try not to work to begin with....but when I do I never take my bike.....I have never wanted for those two things to intermingle.....
I'm 40 miles I run I-10 to the 60. Me or Bobby should run across you sooner or laterQuote:

We can use the HOV in AZ. That helps, but I still find myself splitting lanes from time to time, or maybe everyday. But who's countingQuote:

820,000+ miles on 30 motorcycles in 38 years!
Try to ride the 26 mile round trip everyday. Hopefully have another 45 days till we get below freezing temperatures in the morning and possible ice on the roads. My F6B is hot but not sure it handles well on ice.
Most says I ride the 62 mile round trip to the office. Like most here I just can't get enough seat time on my F6B. Short summers and long winters up here.
Beagle
40 mile round trip through the Napa valley, every day. SF bay area traffic sucks, but splittin them feels so good.
I'm at 36th street and Union Hills, I ride the 51 to Washington and 34th street.Quote:

I didn't ride today as I do some sales as part of my job and had to visit some customers today.
Were you out this pass Sat in the 113 degree heat?
Yep. Rode with some friends to the Cardinals game. It was hot but beating the Cowboys made it worth it. :icon_cool:Quote:

Rattlers are arena bowl champions again, that's two years in a row. Don't know if you follow that or not. Kinda sad I didn't hear much about it on the news......I mean, right now they are the winningest team Arizona has! :yes:
When it cools down a bit we'll have to have an AZF6B meetup. Maybe at the Scottsdale Pavilion car show or something. They have it every Saturday night.
Then there's Bike Night at Westgate too. Not sure when it starts up again but I'll find out.
That sounds like an idea, I'm up for it. Been to Westgate, not thrilled about it but the Pavilion car show I would like to go and see that for sure. Let me know when it starts again and lets have an F6B ride over to it. We could meet somewhere first, then all ride in together.:biggthumpup:Quote:

Suppose to be about 106 degrees today for the ride home. Yes, it was a GREAT MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!! :icon_biggrin:
here in cali its a quick blast every day up the 91 to the 110 from anaheim
I take the carpool all the way up its at least only one side of traffic to deal with

12 k service is coming up and im not looking forward to that bill!!

I got up early this morning and knew it was going to be a beautiful Arizona day. Left the house about 6 AM and the sun was just starting to come up. I tell ya, sunrise and sunset in the desert IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN! :yes: I rolled the F6 out of the garage and fired her up. She purrs like a kitten. I let her sit and warm up as I finished getting on a lite jacket, my gloves and my helmet. Checked the temp on the bike.......64 degrees with clear blue skies and the sun just starting to shine. I left the driveway and headed for the on ramp of highway 51 south. I rode this ribbon of highway for about 17 miles with lite traffic and running between 80 and 85 in the diamond lane, all the way to my exit. I sure did want to keep going but had to head for work. By the time I had hit downtown Phoenix the sun was shinnig brightly and the temp was at 70 degrees. Now all I can think about is the ride home! :icon_mrgreen:
I have been dreaming of a way to install a ladder rack and tool boxes! I see motorcycles all day when I'm crossing town in a work truck!
Been riding to work for the last 3 weeks, almost everyday, it is still cold in Nova Scotia but couldn't wait any longer
LMAO!!!!Quote:
