    Like many others...
    1 occasionally...but it's only 6 miles, so I've got to take the long way
    2 frequently...usually 2 up with a local Meet Up group
    3 rarely but desired
    4 never...yet!
    5 not morally opposed to the idea...

    2,3, and 4. Retired so no commute. I don't haul my bikes, I ride them. Not against hauling and that day may come, just hasn't yet. We put around 20,000 miles per year on our Spyder and I put around 5,000 on my two wheeled bikes on solo trips.

    Now that we are both retired no more number 1

    So it's 2,3, and 4 for us. Over 70,000 miles of smiles on the RT. Pick up a used F3 so only about 1500 of my miles on it - so far.

    2 and 3 for us, also with a lot of evening rides after a hard day at work. No better way to relax than take a nice ride into the country, to Lake Michigan, and watch a sunset.

    Default Only in our second month of ownership

    (1) Commuter - to and from work. - I share a parking lot with a day care, so ... no.
    (2) Day rydes - start at home / end at home ... maybe two tanker. - As often as the weather allows, mostly two-up.

    (3) Multi-day / overnight / over the weekend rydes. - Only once so far, lots of fun, definitely more in the near future.

    (4) Long haul touring - multi-day, multi-state / province. - No time this summer, hopefully next year.

    (5) Haul it / tow it ... then day rydes - No plans for now, but who knows what the future will bring.

    2,3,5 for me. If I wasn't on call for the Fire Dept and EMS shifts from my fulltime job during the day, I'd ride it to work too, but getting out the door, on the bike and to the respective station for a call, actually takes longer on the Spyder. It's hard to use the portable radio riding the bike too...LOL

    Not working, so no commute
    I go on day rides with my girl-posse
    I go on long travels once or twice a year, always by myself
    Don't have a trailer, so no trailering it

    Two mid-70's active seniors here. We basically split our time between S. Ontario (7 months, April-Oct.) and FL (5 months, Nov.-March). Our ryding pattern is much the same in either place: #2 - day trips, 80% two-up, 20% solo, on back country roads enjoying the scenery, looking for interesting places to eat; occasionally going shopping or out for ice cream. So #5 also, because trailering allows us to use the Spyder all year round. We also use the trailer if we wish to ryde in the hills or somewhere that our chosen destination is a day or two away from home; we'll haul it to get there easier, quicker, then spend more quality time on the Spyder while there.
