Almost exclusively alone, except with PGR and occasionally one friend.

I do it all the time. If it's nice out, I'll take off from work and just ride for an hour or 2 in the middle of the day. It really helps to clear my head... it does make it hard to go back to work, though!

Cheers!

I ride alone except when I ride with my son who also has a Harley. We have ridden together from coast to coast and TX to Sturgis, Laughlin, all over the Rockies and across the southern border. He does not live near me so other than trips, I do day rides and two to five day rides alone. I like riding alone on my own terms.

I just done a 7000km ride on my own and loved it. Stop when I want to and didn't have to wait on anyone. Normally I ride with a group.

On the weekend the wife and I ride (she has her own bike). During the week I get out of work early and ride all by myself.

Default RE: Ride Alone?

It is a very rare day that I ride in a group. Once every few months, my bud and I may roll out, but it is normally just me and my wife. Two up.

I put over 20k on the bike last year. I would guess that my mileage breakdown would be:

10k two up
9500 solo
500 in a group (2 or more)
