Commute Rant!!!!! - Sportbike Addicts

Dammit!!! Once a month on I-84 westbound something happens to mess up my commute, whether it's to work or home.

This particular day it was the commute home, where I sat on I-84W for over an hour to go one mile. By that point, I was so frustrated, that I got off on exit 6, 17k, where I was still in the same situation

Eventually tired of sitting in the car for over 2 hours, I stopped and got gas and some junk food to eat before getting back on the road to fight my way home with all the other angry commuters.

Finally, around 9:30 I arrived home where I am now relaxing in my pj's. There is a god.

Here's a big F YOU to all the people that make my drive home a big, ugly mess!!!!

I got lucky just as I made it off the bridge is was crawling enough to get off at 10 and make it home. I was only like 10 minutes in traffic. But I was thinking the same thing what a way to start the weekend.

84 seriously needs to be 3 lanes all the way!!! There is way too much traffic for this area.

Not only was 17k backed up, so was 300, 207, 208, and 32. So all my shortcuts were taken away anyway

I turned around on 207 and backtracked to 32 to 300. Looked fine, got on 84 and it all turned to shiat!!!

To top it off, my girlfriend Michelle called me on her way home from work in Goshen (ain't she lucky to be goin' eastbound) to warn me not to get on 84. Worst part, Tmobile sucks....didn't get the voicemail until..... I WAS ON 84

Grab some heated gear, hop on the bike, and lane-split woman! To think that after all this time you still haven't learned the proper technique from the master...the Jersey Slide himself.

Yeah i was ready to kill someone last nite i figured after working on it for over 4 hours it would be clear...

luckly i was just about to get on 84 and someone called me and said it was still backed up, so i took 17k and it took like 45 min just to get to 208 after that traffic dissapeared... I was still late for what i had to do, cause 84 is the worst road ever and there is always shit that needs to be fixed or some idiot doesnt know how to drive and causes an accident, which screws everything up for me!!!!!! :2finger:

287 sucks. I was going to my in-laws that night and 287 was backed up to RT 1 I jumped off and took a different way. A ride that should take a 40 min took 1 hour and 15 min.
