It's not easy when you don't have time in the afternoons and Sundays. Most of these are done between 4:00 and 6:00 am weather permitting, of course. I get up at 3:45 every morning and leave at 4:00 even on weekends just to be able to ride. If I don't, I will never get to ride. Last Thursday, I worked from 7:30am until 7:50 at pm. I always start at 7:30 am and work until whenever. I now have over 105,000 miles under my belt in 4 years and one month. 47,000 miles on my R1 before I traded it in for the Busa.

Here's an example of my early Sunday morning rides. Left the house just before 4:00.

Got home just in time to go to the gym with my wife at 9:00 and spent the rest of my day with the family.

Over a month of no riding huh... must be rough.

It's rough when I can't ride even for just a week. That's how addicted I am to riding. I guess that's why I managed to do over 105,000 miles total since I started riding in October of 2005.
