commuting to work
I've all of a sudden lost my lift into work, what do I do???
Its a 15 mile trip to work everyday, I can do it on the SV in about 25 minutes... It would take longer on a decent scooter, but would keep the bikes already high milage from totally going through the roof... the bus is 45 minutes of hell, but would be the cheapest... what do I do???

id say do it on the sv, i used to commute to work on mine, up until i bought the car, and my bike has just broken the 8500miles barrier, so i wouldnt worry about the mileage, why does the mileage bother you?
either that or buy a kymco zing 125 cruiser or a scoot, pick plenty up for not a lot of cash |

Bicycle, if I did that I could get gold in the olympics next time round, I'd have to give up the snout as well...

I'd say use the bike.
I use mine every day and in fact sold the car when I decided it was just gathering dust on the driveway, (you won't worry about depreciation on a bike once you've watched the value of your car drop from £42,000 to £7,000 in 5 years). The VFR did 43,000 miles in the last 15 months, Every mile has brought a smile to my face. |

I commute mostly on my SV. Take the car only when the weather is especially bad or I have my tennis gear with me. |
