I ride 65 miles round trip to work 5 days a week and whenever I can on the weekends. There is bad weather and snow in the winter so its about 6 months on and 6 month off when it comes to commuting. Not to say I havent riden in the rain. Winter is what all the off road toys are for and I love the desert in the winter for riding in the dunes.

 

I ride mine to work,30 mi each way.and use it for whatever errands i can too.

 

I go 22 each way and ride on the weekends.Unless it's below 35 or raining.................

Yes, 42 miles to my work single trip. And in the late afternoon 42 miles back. Only with heavy snow or freezing cold I will change for the Ford. The highway to my work is one of the busiest in Western Europe. I use frequently my fog lights, alarm lights and I will install a siren next week. Need it all for (allowed) passing the traffic jams, the mids of the rows of jammed cars. My S&S shotgun exhausts produced enough " harley music" to attrack the wanted attention of 10-14 cars ahead. The biggest risk is, that stupid car drivers will suddenly change lanes without looking int their mirror for allowed bikers passing by...

 

About 85% for work transportation, 20 miles of legal lane splitting each way !!!

And most solo weekend errands and transportation unless there's a need for the SUV.

And when my wife tells me 'let's go to _____', she needs to clearify to me if she doesn't want to take the bike.
When she's in a good mood it's, 'let's ride to _____' .

 

I'm lucky enough that i only have to work every third day so i usually go for a lil (5mi) run to work, but on my off duty days I can rack up like 500 miles a week. Its deff my only mode of transportation but I still beat it up every chance I get. Gotta take advantage of riding in the Stuntshine state.

 

I ride whenever I can, whether it's going to the store or work or whatever else.

 

20 miles daily (in traffic).
Sporty - 47 mpg
Ultra - 36 mpg
VFR - 34 mpg
Silverado - 12 mpg

Sporty gets the most use.

i own nothing but motorcycles and theres no public transportation out here. i've been thinking about getting a truck if i ever get any money.

 

I ride mine everywhere, every day. I keep rain gear in the bags, because it rains every time I forget it. Of course, I can't haul the trash or go grocery shopping with my wife on it, but for everything else - I ride the bike.
