I was here first, dammit...

I usually roll into the parking lot at 7:10 or 7:15. I miss a lot of traffic getting out and about early. In winter, it doesn't get light until 8:30 or 8:45 and you don't see many riders out. But as the weather begins to turn, the mornings start seeing the dawn earlier and earlier, it is full light at my normal arrival time. Now, couple reasonably good weather with the continually incrementing cost of gasoline and what happens...

Everybody and their dog is riding to work, just like Andy wants us to. Notice the lone empty space...

Here are the last three to arrive.

From the first in line to the last.

This after yesterday having to inform one of the custodial drivers that his frikken truck was taking up a whole mc space when the rest of the vehicle parking was empty....

And bein's how I live in a blue state, it is appropriate that all these rides are, um, red....

You need to give that red one on the right a good & proper spanking!
Check that fine KLR650 on the left. I'm surprised Dean-O hasn't stolen *that* one like he did his!

Pretty interesting spectrum of motorcycles.

George,

You're right about that. The Duc appears to be owned either by a business professor or an MBA student. The V-Rod is owned by a returned Iraq war vet who managed to save big bucks while in the dirt. The Yamahooha is a run of the mill squid bike for an undergrad. The R, of course, is mine, all mine. The KLR's owner goes unknown at this point. Periodically, there is a red Duc 600 Monster parked in there which is owned by a late thirties or something woman who rides the breeches off it. Then theres my co-workers purple and gold (University of Washington colors) used to be 883, but now it sports 1200cc, Sportster. Since these were taken early, none of the scooterista's vehicles are shown, but they're there in the afternoons like June bugs in the hottest part of the summer...
