When I had the hour and a half each way ride to work I ended up with a 600cc Honda lol. Dropped my commute to a very solid 45 minutes regardless of traffic. HA ha -- put 30K on that bike in 7yrs all commute miles. The car was an odd thing to ride in after a week of nothing but riding the bike at 52mpg - 0-100mph in 8 seconds. The car felt like a plush super quiet and slow ride that got stuck in traffic. I rode the bike so much that when I drove I caught my self eyeing the center line thinking I bet the subaru could fit through there ha ha.
A good friend way back in 97 rode his Honda NightHawk 750 to work every day at that point he had 150,000 miles on it. I'm not kidding when I say that very same bike gets ridden to work by him even now 3-5 days a week and last I checked he had 290,000 miles on it. You ask him how many chains he's replaced and he looses count around 8. LOL
LOL!
Well, my wife gets to have one first. She said if i got my Subie she gets a bike.
So no bike for me for atleast 2 years:28:. Shes getting hers once winter hits.
Im also a part time photographer, So me spending 3-5k on a camera every 2 years also comes into this as well. Of coarse it pays for itself every year once senior pictures come around, my wife....doesnt understand that though.
So she always thinks im spending to much money on myself. She also never remembers my lenses, so ever time she sees me pull out a big white lens she thinks i just bought it(i only really just bought one once, now she thinks all of them are new!!
) and goes and buys herself some shoes....Wait till she hears i might switch to nikon....holy ****
Lifes not fair.
