the second floor of the parking garage at work has a section reserved for bikes and it's usually filled up every day. About 10-12 bikes at any given time and surprisingly enough there's 4 kats (including mine). Some peeps are just in the know :D

anywho, do you all have a lot of riders where you work?

This was a light day for riders since they were calling for rain later on..

Too damn many people in my shop to try to count, but motorcycle parking (20+ slots) is always full, whether it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon or 2 o'clock in the morning. Oh and one of those is one of mine :)

1 Harley
1 Triumph (cruiser)
1 Yamaha Fazer
1 Ninja 250
1 10R (me)

So, 5. 5 of us that ride to work. There may be more bike owners that don't ride them.

I am the only one that rides to work. There are probably 70 to 80 people in the building where I work. Company wide there are about 200 and I only know of one other person at a branch that rides a motorcycle. (also female)

I think there are peeps that own motorcycles, but they don't ride them to work for some reason.

They are going to have to soon give us some more spaces that's for sure. It used to really only be me and a few others but now it's to the point that on a normal day you have to start parking closer and closer together for everyone to fit.

where I used to work, I was THE ONLY biker there. if you didnt count hte dirtbike that belonged to the boss's son in the back of the shop. when I was in school, I was the only guy, aside from ONE custodian who rode, ever.

As of right now in my store of a little over 100 there are only 2 other riders, one r6 and one custom harley. We just had a girl transfer out that rode and her retard boyfriend who still works there totaled his last year. The only bikes there are typically mine and the harley, the r6 rider is a pretty big poser.

Me. And one guy in Master Control rode an old ass Yami one time. But I've only seen it in the lot once. A producer, who was just fired, rode a scooter. So officially....1.

just me and one of the nurses with her tiedie colored Sportster
(which actually does look pretty cool)

there are two other chicks that ride Ninja 250s but haven't riden them to work yet because they'd have "hair issues, because of the helmet" :idk:

Down here there are four other people who ride, out of a staff of about 150. My old job I was the only one who actually rode to work, but the owner of the company and her husband rode occasionally. And my other job EVERYBODY rides! (I'm an MSF Ridercoach)

There are two of us who ride sportbikes, and people think we are crazy. Another co-worker used to have a cruiser but gave it up when she had her baby girl.

My new OIC (officer in charge) just sold his 03 600rr before he left... he had it for 3 years never dropped it... 3 days after he sold it... the kid totalled it in a parking lot... :lol:

a bunch of people, too many too count. I don't know 80% of the people at the plant because most of them are contractors that come and go. There are a couple of guys in my group that do, I am working on bringing another engineer with me to the track that rides a red gixxer 600.

Two other guys I talk to regularly, a manager that has a motard and another engineer that rocks both a drz motard and a super duke, just sold a bad ass ktm motard too.

nope, that's why i thought it was funny that you had one when i got on the old place. and how I know what it's like to ride one.

it isn't as clean as yours was, but he recently bought it from a different co-worker for $2K. bout 15K miles

I think we've got a total of about 7 or 8 people who ride - 1 guy in Purchasing, 2 guys in transportation, one of our truck drivers, 1 of the production managers, and a few guys out in the plant. And then me,

We have a 3 story parking garage here at work. We had at least one dedicated motorcycle parking spot on each floor. In each of those spots, you could park 6 to 9 motorcycles each. They have been pretty full every day this summer. So they just gave us an additional parking spot on the 1st floor. There are easily 20 + bikes in the garage every day.

No shit. I don't recall you saying that at the old place. Same color scheme as mine? What about yellow wheels? I actually saw one same as mine (again, not as clean)...but I was impressed to see another one on the road.

Beast to push around the driveway for sure. It always felt so planted in corners. You couldn't shake that thing. Ask OTB...it handled really well.

Never got to ride it aggressively, just a bit around town. And in the parking lot to prove it would wheelie (owner didn't think it would/could w/o the clutch)

I never tried to wheelie that thing. I know it would....as I did it a few times unitentionally.

There are a few harley riders here at the college I work with. I'm the only sportbike rider. I don't ride mine because students here have no idea of boundaries and would sit on it.

thats when you put a loud ass alarm on it with a radius of like 5 feet. So anyone who breaks that barrier it starts yelling at them.... OOOOO would that be funny. I want one that I can record what I want it to say but in a different voice cause mine doesn't sound so scary.
