22 miles, left the house this morning and it was in the mid 20's. On a KLR with a removed front fairing. Brrr!

Still worth it.

I calculated out my costs for the KLR. At $4.00 a gallon, including reg and insurance for the year, it costs me about $10 a week to commute on the bike all 5 days both ways. This doesn't include maintenance, but hey, still not bad.

Gotta love $54 a YEAR for insurance.

I'll Edit my top post every time I ride in. I think it would be interesting to see how many days I commute by the end of the season.
