Riding less miles??
I'v cut back on my joy riding with the gas prices rising like they are. Here in NC premium is over 4 bucks a gallon.
How many of you guys are riding less miles? I have always rode the Harley to work and that will not change!

I drive an H2. $100.00 to fill. I rode the bike to work yesterday. I may cut down on the running around in the H but not on the bike. I expect to increase the bike miles not decrease!

As far as leisure time activities goes, my boat uses about 11 gph at WOT, my Jeep that I use to 4-wheel gets well under 10 mpg on the trail and maybe 14 on the road......Riding the bike more for fun is likely to be going on around here.

I just bought my bike in April so I've been riding it as much as possible. When you break it down to $/hour it's still pretty cheap.

RE: Riding less miles??
I'm puttin' more miles on my bike. The gas prices goin' up plus the fact that I absolutely love ridin' my bike, have pretty much made the Road King my main means of transportation. The only time I don't ride it is if there's a good chance of rain. When there's a good chance of rain, I drive my truck, which is a good thing because it keeps my battery from dyin' (it's already done that once a few weeks ago).
