If radios and a/c are entertainment and comfort, then maybe motorcycling isn't your best choice? I've been commuting for two years now, happy in July heat and January cold 'cause the entertainment and comfort IS the ride. I keep arriving wishing my commute were a bit longer

That's one thing I miss about the scoot. With the Honda, I had enough underseat room to store a full helmet and any gear (if I hadn't been bringing them into the office).
