RE: [ST] FW: 2004 Annual Ride to Work Day

["Heyer, Matthew A." <mheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I completely agree with you.  The one exception (or allowance for the wimpy
riders) that I like about this idea is for the general appearance of all
riders, and that is good for "political" side of motorcycling (i.e.
favorable legislation).  Of course, everyone who owns a motorcycle should be
riding it more, but that isn't always the case (not going to argue the who,
what, why of that one...but that's the way it is).  But again, our society
likes movements/causes to show support for things - this fits that niche and
may do some good for us motorcyclists politically.

PS - if you have the day off and it's nice out, just ride all day!!

Personally, I think that the Ride to Work Day is a bad joke. Why do we
need a day set aside for this? It's absurd that feel that one needs a
designated day to ride to work. Get your butt out there and ride
everyday that you can. If more people that claim to be motorcyclists
rode to work every day we could, instead, have a
Ride-to-the-Diner/7-11/Bar/DQ/Hooters-and-Pose Day. Hell, I ride into
New York City every day that there isn't ice or snow on the road. Since
we shut down for the summer I get more saddle time in during December
than July. I'll bet that people like my wimpy-assed brother-in-law will
ride to work that day. He rides a H-D only between April and October and
never more than 30 miles at a shot. Besides, for the fifth consecutive
year I will not be employed on that day. I'll be working on the house.
Should I sit on my steed in the garage and go "VROOOM, VROOOM?" Or
should I just ride the 1 mile to Krauzer's and hang with the rest of the
posers? "Dude, that chrome looks awesome!"
