How far do you commute?

[pdedse]

five miles, but 90% of the time on a klr because I can't stand the idea of leaving the cb in the rain all day.

... or having birds and geese crap on it.

Even if you cover it, you still have to deal with the cover, securing it from wind gusts, clean it, lug it around, fold and unfold it. Totally understand muling the KLR.

And I do put a cover on the KLR, secure it with bungees to keep the winds from turning it into a sail, and upon removal it's soaking wet, so shake it off like a wet dog does and pack it away...but it keeps most of the water off the bike and out of the electrical areas...going on 11 years commuting on 650 so it must be working ok.

But if I had longer commute of say 15 miles and on hiway...no thanks, not with the Oregon rains.
