The KLX is a fantastic commuter for combination of reasons:
- light weight and flickable
- upright seating position with good visibility
- good torque & low gearing
- light linear clutch action
- manages potholes and manholes well
- narrow enough to thread thru traffic
- good city fuel mileage
In heavy traffic, The KLX makes a sport bike feel like a parade float!*

I didnt realize it was ride to work day. Usually somebody at work gets on the ball and posts up a reminder on our internet bulletin board.
Maybe tomorrow.

I feel like I'm a bit late but being close to a 100 degrees out today I road to class to work and back home today, total trip of about 75 miles and used a little more than a gallon of gas. Can't beat that!

I have been riding to and from work for a month now. As a noob I need the practice dodging cages. Rode to a nearby bar for an after work happy hour. The place is popular with the HD crowd and many of my coworkers.
As I was backing my little green thumper into the parking row of HDs the guy backing in next to me on a big chrome ape hanger laden bike he just smiled. I asked, "do you think if I water this thing it will grow into a big bike?" He laughed and said " hell I'd need a step ladder just to get on that thing!" Me in my day glow Mil Spec vest and ATGATT and him, shirtless with leather vest and doo-rag. The differences are astounding, the commonality just 2 wheels.
Enjoy the ride, the destination is unimportant ... especially if it is just to work.

Then I realized I had jeans on and a street jacket, and I was really heading to work and that made me one sad fella.
If you were an Aussie you would just ring in sick and go hit the trails
