Daily commuter, errands, grocery runs, summer ice cream runs, summer evening cool off rides, long rides, weekend trips....unfortunately nothing over a few days yet, just don't have the ability to get away that long too often.

Well I work from home so commuting down the stairs on my Ultra wouldn't be well accepted. So mine is a vacation tourer and weekend machine. Although there are many Saturday trips where we pick a direction after breakfast and just ride until we end up somewhere else around lunch time.

Thanks!
There is still some uneven pavement there. Be ready to soak up some bumps.

All of the above...I use bike (Road Glide) as my primary vehicle/grocery getter (including picking up a new weedeater...that had a few stares), around town cruising, and a few several hundred mile tours during summer (bike gets about 12K a year, truck rarely goes over 3K a year, with those being snowy weather, and family trips upstate). Doesn't matter rain/shine/hot/cold. Only thing I won't do (again) is snow. Not bad for a gimp

All of the above except I don't commute to work just because I'm always out on the road in the dark every morning. Feel much safer in a 4 wheeled vehicle when it comes to those wild creatures running loose.

All of the above. Though I have a nice new jeep, I still prefer the bike for commutes, even during the Las Vegas summers.

My Road King is my weekend ride and my touring bike. My weekend day rides are usually 300 miles, more or less.

Mostly weekend rides, few commutes depending on what I have to do that day, no long tours yet but plan on it some day, even if it's solo. Heading to a couple rallies in state this year for a day or so. Vacations have consisted of flying to Mexico/Dominican/Jamaica with the family lately.
