Fair weather rider here too. I seen some guys riding in Snow and Ice this year. I rode about 5k last year. Got some rides planned this year though. Thunder Beach in Panama, last weekend of April. About 30 of us are Riding down. So that will be about 600 miles there and then 600 back.

Today, I rode to work, then to lunch, back to work, then to the Harley dealer, then home. Not that much different from most work days. However, since I live close to both work and the dealership the miles stay low on the bike though the SUV doesn't get many miles put on it either. Basically, I moved closer to work to avoid a long commute.

enjoy, the beaches are good...weather is breaking...be safe & have fun.
Between 10 & 12,000 miles each year, I ride to work three to four days a week..weather permitting.
May hit 15K this year, I plan on making a few more long trips this summer.

As far as riding goes...I'm mostly a weekend warrior. Ride with a few buds...we'll do 100-200mi on a nice day. And shorter week day rides alone...just to blow off steam. 5-6K miles in a year.
Best thing about my new bike is...it's my only toy. I have a pickup & the bike. At one point in the past I had a garage full of options...and you never enjoy any of them enough to make ownership worth it.
Cars...trucks...boats...sports cars...all good.
But nothing gives the thrill of a Harley IMHO.
