Darn, I was going to suggest riding "au naturel", and it turns out there's even an association! so much for shock value... Come to think of it, maybe naked riders also make a hot topic about who's fastest, or gets the most endurance, if you get my drift. Seriously now: why don't you give a thought to riding while working sometime. Chances are you won't be able to do it always, but are you absolutely sure you can't do it once in a while? when I'm out on photo shoots I usually have to carry a lot of stuff that won't fit on the bike and have to take the car, but I also enjoy shoots where I just throw what I need in the topcase and ride (No, I don't get to give models a pillion ride, or any kind of ride whatsoever). you can use a moto suit that goes over your working clothes. BMW has a sweet Gore-tex one, BTW. Don't reject the idea just yet, let it sink a while and give it a thought. You may find less impediments than you thought possible. Roberto.
