kick and thrill?
 
did some work on a friends bike over the weekend, and we got talking about weekend enjoyment. hold it right there, i'm talking bikes;).
we both commute everyday and i'm not so sure i enjoy my weekend jaunts as much as someone who leaves their bike in the garage.
am i on my own here on this?:confused:

I enjoy every minute, no matter what the weather or journey is for.

I must admit, I enjoy playtime much more now than I did when I commuted.

Every ride is a new challenge, no matter what the weather or distance.

Whats more fun than a new challenge? Well other than the obvious :P

Ive heard that said before.

Never commuted on the bike, have to use the cage for work, but really look forward to the times when I can ride. Im sure I wouldnt look forward half as much if the bike was my only transport.

With the weather at the moment my bike only really comes out on saturdays for work as i work in a bike shop on saturdays, so i combine both commuting and play time which makes commuting fun! I started of on a 50 when i was 16 to get me to college then onto a 125 when i turned 17 whilst i was learnin to drive and i could always go out and have fun on either of them even though i was using them to commute.

90 miles, and you can't vary the journey a little bit? Square tyres you have, and change them every few months tops. :)
