Mine's daily transport. Even put bags on it so I can carry books and tools to class or pick up a few groceries if needed

To work, everywhere else and just for fun, as long as the snow has melted.

Live in South Texas. Ride to work 90% of the time. Huricanes, flash floods, and biblical locast swarms tend to force a trip in the F250...

I ride to work and do errands when it's warmer out and the weather man says it's going to be nice. Haven't yet scrounged up the ***** to purposefully ride in the rain.

We've had a bad week, with freezing temps at night here still. Can't wait for a steady 10+ degrees in the morning.

Mines my main transportation 99% of the time. My wife doesn't drive so I have to take her places in my truck sometimes. Although she rides with me most days.

Ride my Superglide every day, put quick release windshield, sissy bar, and detachable hard saddle bags on it for my daily to and from work ride.Takes literally 5 minutes to remove all of this stuff on Fri nite and have it ready to go in its slimmed down stock configuration for the weekend. Use my truck to tow the bass boat, My Harley will pull the boat, but it just will not stop very well.

I ride mine most of the time to work and back, as well as every weekend. Sometimes when the weather is good, it takes me hours to make the 11 mile drive.

I don't mind riding in the rain, but if the bike is clean and it's raining I'll take the truck to work. Not worth all the effort to get it clean for an 11 mile ride.

On the weekends, the weather doesn't matter - I'm riding.

60 miles a day, 5 days a week for work, rain or shine ( hate when the wind blows strong) then weekend rides for fun. I do drive the jeep for short jaunts around town.

I do. I've put more miles on my bike in the last month than I've put on my car all year.
