Time saved by commuting on motorcycle?

[TINK_imp]

I commuted on the LA Freeways for 40 years by motorcycle. I'm sure I added month of time to my personal life by riding my motorcycle vs a car.

My commute for the last 29 years was from Huntington Beach to Torrance via the 405. It was 27 miles each way. On a good day it was 40 minutes door-to-door. On a heavy day 1 hour. By car you could easily double or triple that time.

If you decide to become a full time Combat Commuter, I would suggest you consider investing in an Aerostich suit. I bought my Aerostich Roadcrafter one piece in 1991, and I'm still using it. A good investment.

PS; I'm retired now, so no more commute for me!

Tink,

Thanks for your input.
why the Aerostich suit? Durability?

They're durable with good armour, but their party piece is way they zip up. It means you can basically put it on and off in 15-30 seconds without disturbing any of the clothes you're wearing under it (e.g. if your commuting to a business casual office). They're quite expensive, but you will probably never wear it out.

What he said.
And yes, I used to wear a business suit shirt and tie to work under my Aerostich.
My Roadcrafter is 25 years old, and only been in for minor wear and tear repairs (not crash related) over the years.
They will likely bury me in my Aerostich.


PS
Even did a track day in my Aerostich
