I myself only had a motorcycle for my main mode of transport and loved every minute of it, but in saying that it was quite some time ago. For some reason I decided to have the bike as a way for me to get out and enjoy something that I love dearly and just forget about what make the world go round.
Unfortunately everything that everyone has mentioned is one of the reasons that I stopped commuting every day, I have basically a 70k round trip and leave home at approx 0500 in the morning and get home between 1830-1900. I can not believe the amount of idiots on the road during the travelling time mentioned and how many accidents that I have seen and every time think thank F......K I'm in a car.
It's like everyone is in so much of a hurry that and people have forgotten how much fun it can be to ride or drive weather it be to work or to have some fun but it use to be something people enjoyed. Mobile phone well what can I say I have one, I leave it off 90% of the time and I hate them especially when people use them to text when they are driving the car.
I have been a big believer for quite some time now that it should be compulsory to get a bike and ride for at least 12mths as you can learn so much more about what is going on around you than you can in a car.
The only bit of advice I can give is get a White Busa people always seem to get out of your way for some reason so if you want a police escort give any of us guys that have got one of those White Busas a yell and I'm sure we will help out where we can.
also u might want to get an irridium blue windscreen or visor because people seem to think when the light shines on it it looks like a siren flashing and they normally pull over, or slow right down
100000kms in 23 months, not too bad
