I had th ebuell I could use in a pinch but realy dont want to use it as a commuter and dont want to ride it on the jobsite with all the dirt and mud here.

I do have a few mor eprojects it needs before the rally though. Going to replace the front springs and throw on some new rubber, otherwise I think were prety much good to go.

I rode to work yesterday. Skipped out today. Too much wear and tear on the bike.

I've already done a "long" trip on my bike. Philly and back and all around town here and there.

My poor bike needs a tune-up. Been too busy with all the other shit going on, and I still haven't changed the coolant, brake fluid, plugs, etc...

This year I decided no more commuting on the bike for me. Slabbing it all highway not only increased my chances of injury/death, put too many of the 34,000 miles on my bike, but it took the fun out of riding.

I did ride last weekend though!

If I had a job right now I'd be commuting on the bike. Oh well guess I'll just have to suffer riding around all day in the mountains instead.... sucks!

I will start commuting on the bike in... oh about July.
