Both...I will commute on it but riding the freeways here in Houston can be hairy at times. I prefer long day or weekend rides but occasionally pull the week to 10 day ride.

I try to ride a long vacation trip each year. Last year was from NC, to VA/PA and south. Ended up hitting ten states, plus DC for Rolling Thunder. Great time.
Now that I am in Kali, I was hitting 200 miles a day sometimes just to go from my place, to work, to my ex's place for the night. I don't mind it, but the 15/215 traffic after I get off work was not always fun.
This years trip is Sturgis. Leaving Escondido, heading to Phoenix for a short factory tour, then camping at the grand canyon, then up to Sturgis, and hitting Vegas on the way back. Should be nice...

I plan to but I just don't have the time and funds right now. I don't ride during the week because and on call and need to be able to get to the phone. Also where I live commuting just sucks. I owe 4 more years on my house then i should have more time and funds to hit the road.

I didn't own a car until I was 22. Before that a motorcycle was my only transportation.
Today, I am a suit so the motorcycle as a commuter is out. Now the bike is to play with on weekends and take on 1 to 2 week-long tours every year.

I pulled up to the gate at base in a suit and got a few looks... But its easy to ride in a properly tailored suit...
Dress blues on the other hand... not a good idea.
