Been debating posting this question as I don't want it to become a pissing match. I ride a ton, and am simply interested in how often people do this.
If you can vote in the poll, then map your route, take a screen shot, then post that pic of your commute. People may be interested in the highways and byways that we share. We may find our routes are similar, and maybe overlapping in some cases... Of course, I'm talking about on your Harley-Davidson, so include model and overall miles, any pertinent info.
This may be fun! Hope it's not been done before, if it has, I haven't seen it.

Thanks, and be safe!

I'll start... 2005 Dyna Super Glide Sport. About 100 miles, each way...

Three whole miles. Infested with the absolute most brain-dead, self-centered, me-first, inconsiderate rackin', frackin' cell-phone texting, boom-can, rap-blaring, little annoying ******** that ever got behind a steering wheel. I've crossed as many as seven states in less than a week, and not run across this many idiots concentrated in one area.
Excuse me...I see that I'm out of Snickers.

Coincidentally, I spend a mile or two on I-680 on my commute as well.

But overall its only about 11mi one way.

I seriously can't imagine a 100 mile commute.

I work from home, so my commute is about 30 feet. A traffic jam is when the dogs get in the way.

But, I typically run my errands and pay bills out on the bike.

About 12 miles each way. Takes about 15 minutes if there's traffic.

Are you referring to commuting to work? People still do that? It's too populated here, like taking the 5 to San Diego every day. It's more worth it to sell the house I'm at and buy one closer to where I work and save 3 hours of my life a day.....(that comes to 1,625 days or 4 1/2 years over a 30 year period). Personally, I can not figure out what goes through (or what doesn't go through) someone's brain who chooses to commute to work their entire life. I live 3 blocks from where I work. I've always lived this close. I come home for lunch every day and cook lunch and walk my Doberman. On Friday I have a cigar and a glass of whiskey with my dog walk. You people who commute crack me up.

A staggering 6 miles one way. It was 3 but we moved to a bigger building a few years ago.

If I'm driving, it's 1/2 mile. If I'm on one of the bikes, it can range from 10 to 120 miles (with one 300 mile side trip to get lunch at the Five Guys in Alexandria, LA).
