Yeah, yeah... I know... go ahead and tell me you are all those hard core and ride to work EVERY day, right???  Then how come statistics show that only 0.12% of the 4% of the population with registered motorcycles actually commute to work?

Make a difference, people, and park that cage already!  Put the boot on it.....

Ronnie · Accepted Answer

I will definitely ride to work just like I do every day.Then again I do work as a motorcycle messenger so it would be kind of hard to do my job if I didn't ride.

randy · Answer

Yup, I will ride tomorrow, just like I do everyday. I ride to and from work during the week, and take long relaxing rides on most weekends. By the way, I've owned 26 bikes in 41 years. The last 5 have all been Harleys, including the 2007 Ultra classic peace officers model I just bought. Does that satisfy your requirements for "hard core rider"? I'd also recheck your figures, your way off on regestered m/c is the U.S.. the percentage of regestered m/c's is more like 23% now.

I am also part of this 0.12% population who actually uses my motorcycle for practical purposes.

Yes, I have a car, but for my daily commute to work I actually ride my motorcyle.  It's much better on the gas than my car and is more fun to ride to work too.

I guess I'm a 0.12%er.
1 year = 13470 mi. with a 7.5 mile commute.

Statistics and percentages? Don't count on the skewed numbers, partner. 2 are registered to me, but I can only sit on one at a time.

83% of people that put too much faith into statistics spend 11% of their time wondering why 57% of the world does not fit into 99% of reality.

That happens 100% of the time.
