9.2 mile commute now

... Came by after work the next day with a comfy one for me. Just couldnt figure out why it was in his lunchbox.... Anyways, it says on it "workmen cycles". maybe you could find it on the net. Comparable to the schwinn seat they sell at Meijers for $25, but IMO much more comfy! Hope this helps.

This is probably the one. I bought one for my brother's Harbor Freight build. It's a big comfortable couch, and it says "Worksman Cycles" on the back.

I have a bad back & neck & there is no way I can ride so far on one of these .
 
I've seen a few MBs in Albuquerque, i assume a few are commuters, but personally i don't feel comfortable using the motor in urban traffic (i pedal in towns, even small towns), though i am comfortable using it along highways, even without good shoulders. I rarely travel 9 miles at a stretch on tour, i stop a lot. My seat is a combo, Avenir Passage with a Schwinn gel cover, pretty comfortable, but stopping a lot and standing out of the saddle helps, too.
 
30-40 miles a day

I have been using my HT 80cc (60ishcc) as a daily commuter for about a month now. Ride it 30-40 miles every day. Only problems have been bad gas, a clutch adjustment, spark plug and cap. Loving it so far. Really love the face on the gas station attendant when I prepay a $1.50 and he looks at me everytime like I'm crazy. Gas mileage has been awesome. Only fill up every 3-4 days. Ordered my second engine last week!

how does riding a MB give you bad gas? sure that wasn't the baked beans? :D

my bike will be done Wednesday night :D I have all day off Thursday which means I have all day to work on the initial break-in process. Riding to work will mean 30 miles a day for me

bad gas....

I think the bad gas was caused by the vibrating 2-stroke after eating eggs for breakfast...
