I dont know how much you guys/girls ride your bike. But i like to ride almost all the time, unless the weather is shitty. I have a car, a decent one, and i drive when i need too(groceries, passengers, etc). My point is I prefer to travel on my bike. the past 2 days have been a little to cold to ride.


when do you ride your bike?

i also ride to and from school and work on the daily grind

 

I only ride on sat / sun, too many crazies on the roads during the week.

 

good call





















































pussy. j/k

 

cuz sunday drivers are way safer...lol

 

my riding is mostly saturday mornings (7:30am to 12pm maybe 1ish) and then i go to work. anytime after noon, its too busy on the roads and i cant ride the way i want to ride with this fucktits in the road slowing me down.

i would ride early sunday mornings too provided that im off from work.

the way i see it, riding early reduces my chances encountering idiots on the road plus i dont have to worry about people mowing their lawn and grass on the road early in the morning.
im more worried with deer crossing the road and hitting it.

 

I only do country riding on the weekends, so traffic isnt too bad. My biggest hazard is sand and debris in the road

 

main concern at this time are leaves on the road and some sand but usually, the roads I ride are pretty clean.

roads here between ocala and gainesville are kick ass, plus i get to go to "HILLSIDE" whenever i want to.

if i want to do a long ride, i go up to LaCross, Worthington springs, Brooker, Lake Butler and Olustee. if you googlemap those towns, you will see where i ride and eventually i hit Osceola national forest where there ARE NO CARS on the road, just deer

thats why i was making fun of rsxtc when he was asking people riding at night. thats just not my thing anymore. not only i dont see shit but people dont see motorcycles either.

 

For just over a year i rode just about everyday during the week to/from work. I got the flu twice along with a nasty common cold, some bronchitis and sinusitis over the last 3 months. So i haven't really been riding and plus it's been pretty cold to.

^ riding at night in the city on the highway can be fun. Just have to watch out for drunks. Actually it's more early morning(3:30-6am)

 

well for me it's a much different story then most of you guys in the Tampa area. I ride 95%+ of the time, and everyday unless hardcore rain (my car is less in control in the rain then the bike though lol)

I find the 2nd gen R6 to be very comfortable though for the amount I ride, I think I bought the bike at the end of January and it had 850 miles on it, now it has just over 4300 miles.

I have sometimes a 45 minute commute to school, cause I take back routes to avoid driving on US41 and I75 (our major roads down here) .. but the route I get to go has a decent amount of very nice higher speed corners so sometimes it's fun when no traffic is around. I have about a 20 minute commute to work and I don't think I've ever drove my car to work, maybe once.

I've done about 50-60 miles of boring commuting before needing a break, as in long straight roads (I75).

So far I'm loving the R6 though, very good performance, reliability, and comfortable for the money IMO. However, I'm a shorter/lighter guy so that might have something to do with it

 

i ride pretty much every day its not freezing or raining, i just usually leave the house at like 9 am and get in at 4 am..so i have to be cautious of the cold and rain because i take some back dark roads to my house so can be just flat out unbearable haha..
