A) I don't care if it gets dirty (it's a dual sport) & B) it's slower, therefore safer in rainy conditions (at least in theory). Commuting via motorcycle compared to a cage saves me 20 minutes on my ride home in the evening. I work my way as close as possible to the red light. Cagers in the back will wait through two lights & maybe more if there's construction or an accident. Riding to work is a push 'cause at O-dark-thirty in the morning, there is no traffic. When I worked downtown, motorcycle parking was free. In addition to saving time, it's less stressful and the ride in in the morning is fun due to no traffic.
So did I. After three straight years though it just about killed riding for me with all the fighting constant traffic and idiot drivers. I really missed the fun of riding so I quit the commute. I'm so glad I did it. Now when I get on the bike all the fun is there, every time. I'm all the way back to why I ride in the first place.
