RE: Daily Driver?
When I had my '95 WG I rode it to work every day - it was my only transportation.
Now I have a truck, but still ride my '08 WG to work every day. I'ts only a 15 minute ride to work so I usually leave early and take the long way in, usually starting out in the opposite direction.
Today my ride into work was 225 miles.

I ride my Road King to work daily because of the hard bags. I can haul my lunch, rain gear and so on. I like to keep my Street Bob lean and mean, no extras, it's my weekend for fun bike. I get 44 MPG on the King and 48 MPG on the Bob. In Colorado we're able to ride April through mid Oct full time, with some weekends in the winter. I started wearing a full face helmet in the cold weather and it added at least two months to my riding season.

Harley-Jeff,
Last year I sold my "pig" of a pick-up that got 7 mpg and bought a Super Glide Custom that gets 45 mpg. The Super Glide Custom is the only transportation that I own. But I
must say that my live-in girlfriend ownes a Toyota Corolla.
I predict that as gas prices go up and up that you will see
alotmore motorcycles out and about. In my opinion it
does not make any sense to drive a pick-up that gets
7 mpg, that no one can afford to drive.
I think in the future you will really appreciate your only
transportation the "07 Dyna Low Rider"...

RE: Daily Driver?
so gas here (UK) is now nudging over $10 per gallon! but i guess the upside is there will be more bikes on the roads which is good as the EU has a think tank that wants to ban motorcycles completely from all member countries.. BUT back to the thread, yeah its a daily driver - pete

I am kind of a 'reverse rider'. I ride to work everyday, but don't ride most weekends because I am with the wife, dogs, going to store, whatever. I totally depend on this bike for my daily commute. Weird thing is that means I use the weekends to tear down and do mods, but have to have it back up by Sunday night for a test ride.

Usually my Jeep stays put during the week for the riding season here in Michigan, but on the weekends it's hard to haul the wife and 3 kids around on the bike.
