I ride whenever I want, as far as I need, wherever I am going. Its transportation. Plain and simple.

I use mine for transportation every trip possible on a daily basis. How far? Depends whether I'm running up and down the road for business, or I turned my phone off and hit the road to clear my head. The "clear my head trips" can get rather lengthy. I have ridden 400 miles a day on my 1200c, no complaints here.

Default RE: how often do we ride and how far

I used to ride to work, and back (150miles r/t) a few times a week, but FOR ME I found it to take the fun out of it, with traffic, and stuff. I stopped that for the most part, now I try to ride every weekend, and during the summer I ride a few times a week, afterwork.

In the summer I ride a good amount. 300 miles per week or so. I found out if you run a lot of highway miles it really wears out the back tire fast!

It's rare that I don't throw a leg over at least for a little while sometime during the day. Could be a short ride, could be a 4 day ride. Rode 15,000 miles in the first year I had the Sporty.
