Anyway, ride was super, the workout at the gym was super too. Okay, no go to work on the motorcycle. I haul it back home, dump the motorcycle and take a good 5 minutes to figure out which bike I am going to ride to work! I settled on my (#1)79 Raleigh Competition GS.

Snatch off motorcycle leathers, hit the shower, grab shorts, top, tennis, dam fall down the steps to get to the Raleigh. All set.

I had snatched out the Raleigh and put in the driveway first off. Looked at both of them together, and I had to snap a pic.

The ride to work was super-duper. Temps about a nice 79 degrees, sun out, I did the 6 miles to the subway. Off the subway, do the uphill mile to work.. Right at the gate of my job, I started to just take my cell phone and call in sick, and go riding. But, I did that last week. I am at work now... Can't wait to get off...

Such are the ways of an old geezer...

Which one of your bikes is faster?
