For the most part I ride every day. Wake up around 430-5 some like to go jogging I go riding. Come home eat breakfast then ride to my shop , and at the end of day back home. After dinner and family time and kids are in bed I usually go out for another hour or so. Of course also going to plenty of rallys and shows throughout the season as well.
No nearly as much as I / we would like.....
Work and life in general has a way interfering with more seat time....
Once, maybe twice a month during our riding season, I'll ride with the guys
and we will do a 400 mile lunch ride ...
Weekends my wife and I try to ride as much as possible....500 mile days are fairly common for us.
Averaging 11k/12k a season up here in the far northeast corner....
everyday, commute to work from San Francisco to Soledad on my Mondays and fridays about 2 hours each way, ride around the area for the work week and on the weekends, ride with friends. taking full advantage of this bay area weather
Nearly every day between sometime in February and December here in Ohio. I could ride more but the maintenance required after the ride (to de-salt the bike) is just too time consuming so I do what's easy, take the truck.
Everyday have an hour commute into work, takes about 2 hours to get home ....
pretty much the same here....i run from southern maryland to springfield va for my 52 mile, one hour, one way commute. i go in early @ 0300 hrs so i don't have any traffic in the mornings, some on the beltway in the afternoons. i have 4 lane for about 48 miles of it which makes it not bad unless there is an accident. i ride pretty much as long as its over 35 degrees so there is no ice around. lower if its been dry for days. i use electric gear so it extends my season. just turned 38500 on my 2013 FLHTK. i ride a little on the weekends. not as much as i'd like.
Retired and we recently went down to just one family vehicle (besides Harley). I use my bike for trips to the grocery store, grandkids games, all my errands. At least once a week will do a short day trip somewhere up to about 200 - 250 miles.
Current rate of daily riding will put my annual mileage between 15,000 and 20,000.
