98% alone..only know a few people with bikes..dont see them much..wife never rode so i sold her bike.i have been trying to talk my bro and BIL into getting a bike for years,even offered to rebuild them one free if they bought a basket or wreck...i really need more friends and excuses to go for a ride..
In the past six years, I've ridden with others four times. Rode to Laughlin with a cat from work last week. Was supposed to be three of us. One had bike trouble, no show, other was 45 minutes late to start.

About 60/40. I would rather ride alone or just with 1 other close friend, dad, or uncle. I hate riding in large groups. I don't like having to worry about other riders who I can't trust around me.
When commuting, alone of course. Riding for the sake of riding though almost never alone. My wife goes with me 95% of the time on those rides and about 70% of those rides are with the local HOG chapter. I like the big groups. Nothing like thundering down some mountain canyon road with a half mile long line of bikes.
I definitely seem to be in the minority though given the other posts to this thread.
It's about 50/50 for me. I have 3 friends that I go on vacation with every year and we average 3500 to 4000 miles a trip. we get along great and have a good time.
