That's the whole point, man.
Riding to work on a non-casual day makes a statement. i.e., "I am a
motorcycle enthusiast first and a worker second"
Riding to work on a casual day makes an entirely different statement,
i.e. "I am a fairweather biking hairdresser, pleathe path the herbal
tea"
No offense meant, I understand some folks have to kowtow to the man
to keep their jobs. That's life in the big city, I guess....

So throw a duffel or box on the back rack with good shoes, a shirt, etc.
Change when you get to work.

Or keep shoes at work along with a change of clothes. I do this when I ride
my bicycle to work and have to completely change into non sweaty stinky
clothes. And the water cooler can double as a shower, just get in a little
early!

Me. I'm a cubicle monkey
AND I ride everyday! Gotta change
into bus-casual for the boss though when I get to work.
Theory about RTW day and the lack of participation or, at least the
perception thereof. Most people I know that RIDE, know about RTW
day. Those that own a motorcycle but don't necessarily ride it
probably don't know about RTW day. Therefore, the same people that
ride just about all the time will, of course, participate in the RTW
day. The build up for a grand turnout 'seems' to fizzle as only the
usual suspects form up.
Why is this?
I think it is an attitude thing. Ours. The riders.
My neighbor owns an HD sporty and she hardly EVER rides. We don't
get along
, so if I don't tell her, who will? More to the point,
I am obsessed with all things motorcycle and we just don't relate
that way. To her credit, she does participate in the Memorial Day
Ride to the Wall every year....whoo...hooo
There are people I know at work who OWN a motorcycle, but just can't
imagine giving up the cage comforts of AC/CD/Cell etc., just to
ride. Let alone understand the thrust of a unifying event like RTW.
Jeez! Oh, well.
Anyway, just a theory.

hahahahahaha! That is funny! Yeah I wish that were
the case, but the reality of it is that I have to
dress nice for work and look presentable, i.e. no
helmet hair when I get to work, road grime on my
clothes etc. Maybe after your career at Carl's Jr is
over you will understand! LOL! No offense meant,
just teasing. BTW, I tear it up on the weekends!
Take care and ride safe.

Too much of a hassle, plus I tear it up prety good on
the weekends so I get it all out of my system before
Monday. Hey at least I get one day a week in.

Awwwwwww I thought you weren't going to get butt hurt,
does somebody need a hug? J/K. Actually I'll take a
Barry Bonds bobble head doll with that order and I'll
have to wait on the manicure until I finish training
for my next fight! Cheers!
