I would guess something like 85% alone, 15% with friends. I like an occasional large group ride as it is a great reminder why I like like riding alone so much.
99% alone, but alone includes the OL on the back. We're not much for group rides. We like to stop and check out new things (bars & restaurants) without having others complain.
We do however participate in runs for Breast Cancer and other good causes.
I avg. about 15k a year (May thru Oct.)10k mi. in 3 weeks vac.70% solo.IMO there's nothing more relaxing or exhilarating than lighting out on my own.Plus you meet a great group of people along the way.
That's one of the reasons my bike is set up the way it is.
I try to ride my bike as much a possible to cut down on my monthly fuel cost.(and I love riding) usually about 270 miles a week.
I prefer to ride solo, but I have to drop my son off a school ever morning so I have to keep the bike set-up for 2-up most of the time. Of Course the wife wants to go for a ride too. ( I am not buying a side car)
But, as soon as school lets out the tour pack and the passanger pillion come off.
My preferred set up, see signiture for 2-up set-up.
80% alone, the other is a mix with 18% of that with my son. He's 13 and I hope he will become as fond of riding as myself, then those numbers may change.
