I ride as much as possible. I usually limit my motorcycle appraising to vacant homes, rural properties, 2055's, and comparable picture days. I ride in full gear and look like a geek. It matches by PDA, Disto, iPhone, and GPS.
Yes, it's a great way to mix pleasure, fun, and saving into one. I has a GPS mounted on my bike and pre-enter my subject and comps. My GPS will auto arrange my properties in the most efficient order, works 90% of time otherwise, I ride a little extra.
I typically leave the bike parked at home on high end properties, in bad weather, and really long field days.
I've recently got into road bicycling, so I hope to do a few vacant homes in the future.
