    Just fooling around with my camcorder on a rear mount. There is one section of twisties on my 15 min. commute to work. The rest is less interesting.

    My commute is 100 klicks each way and it's all on backroads/country roads. Going and coming is the best part of my day!

    Well my commute will be more fun when I can ride it instead of drive it... 40 miles each way, and the last half is 2 lane twisties

    Sweet camera, that's going to be an awesome addition to the Mt. St. Helens ride.

    mostly just business, but there is one spot that lasts for about ten minutes, doing 15-20 over the limit, so it's also a little risky....:biggrin:

    Coming to work in the mornings I just take the most direct route, which is boring. When I leave to go home I take a fun twisty route to help blow off steam from the day.

    My commute is all of about seven minutes, none of it scenic, all of it fairly heavy traffic except when I go in before 6:00 am, but there is a short section of right/left/right sweepers at least!

    35 km one way. 60% pleasure. 40% business.

    My route is somewhat interesting.. it's mostly twisties but it's in residential areas plus there tends to be some traffic so I gotta go sane speeds. But hey, that beats droning on the highway and I can keep my sporty tires rounded.

    8 miles round trip. All business. Between late college kids, soccer moms shuffling kids, and motorcycle cops, I have to be really careful. My biggest fear is having someone change lanes into me.

    I ride five blocks to school each day. Does that count?

    my commute is about 15 miles one way. All backroads so I can get pretty crazy. Could use some more twisties but there are a few depending on the route I take.

    I suppose taking the bike to work is always better than my truck but my commute is pretty much crap. Ask anyone who lives near a military base what the traffic is like at shift change.

    The main motivator is:
    2005 F-150 5.4 Lariat = 15.5 MPG
    2000 VFR800fi = 46-48 MPG

    KC-10 FE out...
