>>144422>As a PRIMARY mode of transportation? There are some problems with this.>1. can't bring back large purchases>2. can't take a passenger>3.Around here (America) things are very spread out. Unless you live in a large city where everything is available, it's unrealistic.>4. commuting to work on a bicycle, in the rain. No.1. True, which is why I have a truck in the garage. But most of the time, it stays in the garage.
2. Yes, see #1. Just commuting to/from work or running a quick errand, I have no need to take a passenger. If someone wants to go out for lunch at work, they can drive (or a couple of us ride our motorcycles).
3. I'm glad mine has an engine.
4. No such thing as bad weather, just inadequate gear. There's a lot of options for rain gear when it comes to motorcycles. Start at the top with a helmet/visor and work your way down. Rain, snow, or ice hasn't stopped me yet. Pic kinda related.
