Ok, some of you guys know that I have been working away from home for a while now.
The last job was in Redditch and I was commuting that daily on the sv.
That is part of the reason I fell out with my bike.
I was using it daily and it became less of a toy and more of a form of transport/tool.
After Redditch finished I started a job in Birmingham and decided that I wasnt going to commute daily.
I looked into fuel and running costs on the car (freelander) against staying in a hotel.
I never even considered using the daytona as a daily commuter as I like it too much to do that to it.
I've got a 3 star hotel 15 minutes from where I'm working and as I booked for 7 weeks, got a very good deal.
The ball ache is that I'm away from the lovely Mrs Speedplay (and the lovlier daytona
) and I'm constantly living out of a suitcase BUT Im saving over £100 quid a week in fuel alone, my working day is 4 hours shorter and I get a full english breakfast everyday
Has anyone else had to do this as part of their working life and if so, what were the benefits/downsides for you?
