How much riding do you get in

Just wondering.

Are you a weekend warrior?
Do you ride every chance you get?

I unfortunately have this crappy ass forth season here called winter. I still ride as long as there is no snow on the roads. The sand is fun to me. Fishtailing around corners like I was on my dirt bike. Just it will cost much if I bite it.

I bought my Fatboy at the end of 2001 new. Road home in rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow. This was the first time I rode it. 34 thousand hard ass miles later I’m still very happy to beat it up daily. I would much rather ride it dirty than waste time cleaning it.

So how many miles you adding up yearly?

If my bike is running, it won't sit for more than a week. Ridden daily to weekly, depending on the season. It's been down for a top end rebuild, awaiting a generator , and when I stripped it for painting when I first got it. Not too many long trips, but an assfull of short ones.

I ride every day, come sun, rain or snow - don't have a car, so only time I'm on 4 wheels is when i borrow one (usually the wife's) to carry summat that is too big to carry on the bike.

If you haven't already paid money for the new genny I would suggest you think about this alternative - from my experience I would recomend it unreservedly.
