How far is your daily commute?

That's why I commute by motorcycle. Fuel, maintainence, annual registration fees and insurance all equal .$10 per mile. The bike istself was $4100. . Not to mention I won't need to buy another truck anytime soon because I only drive it about every other weekend. I'll need another $4000 bike every 5 or 6 years. The downside is one bike is not enough. currently I have one, but I'd really like another and that will lead to wanting another. Before you know it you have 4 or 5 bikes.

 

Three. I've found the magic number of motorcycles to own at one time is three. Anything more is too much of a hassle.

 

What 3 bikes have you found to work well for you?

I'm thinking my V Strom will continue as my daily driver and something like a DR650 (inexpensive and reliable) for taking to Baja (once a year trip) and weekend trips on dirt when I don't feel like driving my truck.

 

V-Strom & a DR650 are great machines. Could ride the TAT (Trans-American Trail) on the DR too. A friend of mine jas a VStrom and likes it very much.

I currently have two machines. A Triumph Tiger 1050 & Aprilia SR50. Love them both greatly. As far as a third bike, I'm trying to decide. Either a KTM 250XC or a 2009 or new Yamaha R6 race bike. I use to Road Race motorcycles & miss it. I would do mainly track days and the occasional race. Even better the local race track opened up again.

I've never been big into dirt bikes, but a few friends ride them and I'm interested on Hare Scrambles. Looks fun & a hell of a lot cheaper than road racing. Haha

 

My commute is 25 miles each way. Takes about 2 hours each way. Fun.

 

My truck total costs are a lot less than $10 per mile.

 

I live on the peninsula in the SF Bay Area and drive 101 about 40 miles round trip from Foster City to Mountain View and back. I start at 6am and it takes me about 20 minutes on the way in, but almost 40 everyday on the ride home at 3:30. Worst ever for me was I think about an hour and 15 to get home thanks to dummies and rubberneckers.

 

I hate Los Angeles. Lol

 

Less than 1 gallon per day so about $2.50 per day for fuel. No stops between work and home. Hell, there's no stops for 50 miles in either direction....lol

 

25 miles (50 round trip). I don't have a single traffic light between work and home. Takes 35-40 minutes.

 

I will say the only good thing about my commute is that I get 27 dollars a day for fuel and probably only burn like 10

 

Just over .5 miles

 

15 miles one way. Takes me about 30min in the morning with dropping my son off at grandmas. Omw home takes almost an hour cuz f****n traffic
