As topic states: And im not talking about a partime or get me by job, more shirt and tie/ business casual job. I obviously ride to work but try to get here 10 mins early because my exhaust is super loud and i pass right by the GM office lol. The other engineers i works with ride as well so it like our own small group. ---

I see no problem with it. The exhaust on my Exige is loud as fuck and I go WOT right to our driveway. ---

I get a real taste of what a “professional” bike is when I walk in to work every morning. The BMW cruisers with these huge aluminum “saddle boxes” or whatever they are called on the side. Ugly as fuck if you ask me. ---

lol. I constantly have to try and readjust while I’m riding to minimize my exposure… I have also found that I can actully make it to work in my summer gloves now that I do not have to take the 290. ---

I have a work car ☹ Even when I had a bike last summer, I couldn’t ride cuz needing to have my work car but I could leave it at the office and ride to and from. Also a cool backup plan incase it starts raining and don’t want to ride home. ---

I usually do. There used to be a few other people that rode in as well, but they got laid off when I did and didn’t get called back. ☹ I normally don’t have to dress too nice anyhow because I’m in and out of the Lab and shop so much. ---
