20 miles round trip, I ride mine everyday rain or shine. Can't ride up here from November to March so I get in as much as I can during the summer.

42 miles round trip, i&nbsp\\;have a 4 day work week Tues through Fri&nbsp\\;and i take it to work almost everyday from Apr - Nov and more if weather allows, im on the road by 4:15 and out by 2 in the afternoon so the payoff is great, the only time i wont take it if its raining when i get up, i dont mind the rain coming home but i dont want to get wet going into work&nbsp\\;half asleep and then drying off at work.

I ride my 1997 FXSTS to work as often as the weather here in NY permits.
Same as you I travel 25miles each way and it's 95% highway..I wouldn't trade it for the world..

I ride my 05 FXSTI every day I can. I call it quits below 25 degrees, anything above that with no snow or rain at the time I leave I'm riding. I road on Jan 4th last year 28 deg with black ice. That was one slippery ride. Went by several slide offs and one crash on a bridge, The cops gave me a "WTF" look as I cruised by. Half of my yearly miles are at 50 degrees or less. Put on some warm clothes and ride the DAMN THING.

I ride every day it's not raining. I only live about a mile from work, but it always takes me 30 to 40 minutes to get there. Sometimes I get lost................

I ride my Heritage Classic year round to work including in the rain but no sleet or snow. 106 mile round trip from&nbsp\\;Carrollton, GA&nbsp\\;to Atlanta with no problem other than loving every minute of it. Been doing this commute for 26 years. Makes it even better now that gas is so high.

I ride my Crossbones every day that I can. 15 mi. round trip. So much better than being stuck in a car.
