With the great weather this past week I decided to ride into work at Logan Airport. I usually drive to the Logan express bus in Braintree but because the bike doesn't use a parking spot at the hangar I don't need a pass so I decided to ride the 85 miles from Dennis to Logan.
Everyone thought I was crazy doing it on my R6 but I had a blast. Staying at 80-85 for like 40 miles straight was a new experience and screaming through the tunnels at night, man, my next house will have a tunnel of its own.
Averaged 52 Mpg so a round trip cost less than $10. That less than half of what my truck takes just to get to Braintree. And it was much easier to pay attention on the way home after a 10-12 hour shift. Figured out how to uncramp/ wake my hand up on the long highway stretches and experimented different seating positions.
Traffic last night was a nightmare. Apparently everyone took their dads to the cape so it took 3 hours to make the trek. The other days I managed it in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
A nice learning experience that I can look back on now that I'm on my days off. This week it's my turn to drive my Lil commute group so back into the steel cage I go while the bike gets a nice wash and lube and some rest.
