I ride mine 45 miles round trip 5 days a week to and from work as long as it isn't snowing or raining. Bought my '09 UC on Thanksgiving weekend 08 and have 18,000 miles on her. I will ride just because I can.
I commute a couple of days a week, a 35 mile round trip. When I was young a motorcycle (not a Harley) was my ONLY transportation, which works OK if you are single with no responsibilities. It's tough to pick up a half-dozen 90lb bags of concrete mix on the way home from work -- on a bike.
I ride my Ultra when ever the task works, to work, to grocery store for few itmes etc etc.... Unfortually with three kids and a full scheudle that does impact the use of the ride other wise I would use nothing but.
