Real bikers ride their bike everyday that there isn't snow on the road. And they may ride a 1966 Honda 160.

I don't know that a theory can be proven without empirical evidence.

My own experience is that there exists no direct correlation between the model of motorcycle and either the frequency or distance ridden.
Of the guys I ride with, there are mostly ElectraGlides. But, many ride 2-up at least some of the time. Never really paid attention to the number of SG versus RG versus RK... never seemed important to me.
Some of the guys ride Dynas or Softails or Sportys, but I never thought to ask them why they chose that model either. My guess is that everyone has their own reason, and it's likely different than others.

900 miles is a day n a half putt while stopping at most watering holes to boot.

I will admit, you are the first I've ever heard suggest they quit riding because they tire of stopping for gas....LOL If i was in that predictament, you can damn well bet I would be converting my hardbags and trunk into gas tanks before i tired of riding...LOL

Its not what you ride, its that you ride.

For the record I went from a Road King Custom to a Road Glide.

You caught me...
I really wanted to buy an RK, but I knew all you evil RK 2%s would apply the beat down if a poser like me was to buy the only true Harley....
I only bought my fugly FLTRU because I was in fear for my life....
I knew one day the truth would come out...
