    I ride most often one up with my Club. A lot by myself also. Sometimes with a buddy or two and occasionally two up.

    Usually ride sitting on my butt. However, after 2 to 2.5 hours I have been known to stand for a few secs (non-highway). = Smartass

    For the non-smartass answer.....80% 2 up and 20% just me (Bob, Contrary to some beliefs.....I don't have 3 personalities).

    Mostly solo. Don't have to get permission or ask anyone when I want to pee, eat, go fast or stop. Yep, that's what happens when you get older. When Camille is not selling homes we make a run two up to Starbucks early in the morning before the heat arrives.

    Winter, a couple of friends who are snowbirds and I take short runs for breakfast or lunch. Hello Larry, Jack and Phil.

    Most of my riding is solo. I rarely ride with a group but at Spyders in the Redwoods I enjoy the group rides. My wife enjoys riding but requires a destination. Myself, I will just hop on and see where I end up. Sometimes it is just a pleasure cruise, others it is to ride like the devil to clear my head.

    All of the above, but rarely in a club. Gave up on large group rides, prefer just the two of us on our 2 wheel bikes, or 2 up on the Spyder or with a few select friends.

    Most of my riding these days is by myself.
    When I was in a women's riding club, I enjoyed group rides, mostly. I recently joined "Dykes on Bikes" and have enjoyed to 2 rides with them I've managed to make. In the 22 years since I started riding motorcycles, I only had a passenger twice: once on a group ride, another rider whose leg was hurting too bad to ride her own. The other time, my (young) bowling buddy really wanted a ryde, so we did. His legs are very short, so I had to raise the foot rests. He really enjoyed that I got us lost.

    I get lost a lot.

    What a shame.

    Not.

    99% of my ryding time is solo, by myself. I rarely ryde in groups. I relish the alone time, the ability to go, stop and get lost whenever I want. I wander a lot. Many of my best rydes and encounters were those unplanned. Priceless!
