    Motorbike Rider

    Hie,
    I would like to commute to work using my motorbike, but I was wondering how I would do it seeing that I have put put a suit and tie in the office.

    So is there any amongst you would do commute and if so how do you travel in to the office?

    Thanks

    p.s. I wouldn't mind any pointers on what to wear during this chilly weather.

        Does it have a heater that can make your feet all toasty? Wouldn't that be preferable to freezing your tits off on a bike?

            Get a 4 season jacket and overtrousers

            Just buy a comfortable size and put them on over your suit.

            Sorted.

              I did it up to 2000 when I had my smash. I used to ride from Chelmsford to the city and found it quick but can be pretty tiring, depends on how far you travel I suppose and the size of the bike. Getting a ZX9 through the slow moving traffic in the City is hard work and by the time you get to work your suit is kinda crumpled...

              And it can be damn cold in January....

                Keep the bike for recreation and go by car.

                  Does the client have changing/showering facilities on site? If so keep your suit in a suit bag at the office and wear civvies + bike gear when traveling and change on site.

                    The missus will not let me get another bike now..so car it is!!

                    I kind of want another one but think maybe it is not such a great idea. She would never let me get any peace... women are evil like that!!
