How many people at your work ride?

NeonspeedRT · 07-28-2008, 10:28 AM

We have a 3 story parking garage here at work. We had at least one dedicated motorcycle parking spot on each floor. In each of those spots, you could park 6 to 9 motorcycles each. They have been pretty full every day this summer. So they just gave us an additional parking spot on the 1st floor. There are easily 20 + bikes in the garage every day.

No shit. I don't recall you saying that at the old place. Same color scheme as mine? What about yellow wheels? I actually saw one same as mine (again, not as clean)...but I was impressed to see another one on the road.

We have 2 buildings. The building I am in(about 600 people) there are 13 guys and 1 girl who ride. The other building(about 800 people) there are about 20 people who ride.

compared to my SV or my buell, it was big and heavy. Not bad at speed, but until you got it rolling.

Beast to push around the driveway for sure. It always felt so planted in corners. You couldn't shake that thing. Ask OTB...it handled really well.

Never got to ride it aggressively, just a bit around town. And in the parking lot to prove it would wheelie (owner didn't think it would/could w/o the clutch)
