How often do you ride? We (husband and 2 sons) try to ride every weekend. My boys have also ridden mid-week as it's their Summer holiday.
I seem to be a forum whore on a UK MX forum with 19813 posts! :gob: :laugh: We often meet up and ride whenever we can.

Daily for me weekdays (the RF is my commute - hit 85,000kms this morning), and once a weekend...
Going for a fun ride/blat with mates - probably once every two weeks.

Arr the commuting thing! :)
For us it’s our escape at weekends. If the boys don’t ride for whatever reason one weekend - we feel so depreciated! :crybaby:
It’s pure pleasure for us. We meet up with friends who ride and the social part of it all is brilliant.

Most days I ride - but it's a road bike not a chook chaser.
Recently got a car - it's a bit of a novelty - been driving that to and from work.

Every day for commuting - London and Auckland. At least once at the weekend - whichever day I don't have a hangover :yes:

Nowhere near often enough...But that'll be soon changing hopefully with a new job where I can commute with the bike:love:
At the moment, about once a week...

Thank you all for your replies and welcomes.... You lot sound as nutty as the UK forum I post on. (Which is a good thing!) :niceone:
And Ewan - we're in Suffolk at the moment. Hoping to come out to NZ by October. Not sure where yet but looking around the Bay of Plenty.
We live for motocross over here :rockon: We can only ride at tracks here at weekends (some tracks open on a Wednesday) but we need to ride every weekend because we love it so much. You have more room over there to ride around but here in the UK we can only ride at tracks.
Are MX tracks as big over there as they are here?

I ride most days. But I must confess to leaving the bike at home when the temperature is lower than -6, when there is black ice or snow on the road, and twice recently when the wind speeds were over 100 kmh. So far there have been 18 days in the past 12 months that I haven't ridden.

Me too on both counts. Only take the car for practicality.

Every day,and not just to commute. I'm lucky enough to live on one of the realy good thrash roads near Auckland so the temptation constantly gets the better of me - even when its been raining non-stop for 3 months...

To me, riding is like SEX. Except the "Female" never disagree :lol::love:
I try to ride as often as possible...
Say, commuting to Uni, an hour fun at Scenic Drive after school, a quick trip to Huia whenever the day is fine, a visit to Mt Eden Summit after dinner/ uni, etc etc...
But still I don't do long rides. I clocked 2500km a month, thats approximately 30,000km a year "Salary".
Hmm... thats not much on the odometer... <_<

I ride most days ... only wimp out in extreme winds .. which in Wellington means three days this year ... I do use the bike to commute, but have just as much fun riding with others and also going on jaunts on my own or with the lover (Grub!)

You poor thing, a car. I had one once, the novelty does wear off.
I ride the scoot daily and the V-strom as needed and at weekends Cheers.

Go for a ride sometimes when I get home from work, and the odd day commute to work also. Always go out for a ride somewhere every weekend.

As often as possible and when the timing is right (ie; no kids, reasonable forecast) we really slam up the k's. Just checked the bikes over for a jaunt this coming w/e with three more in the near future. Commuting isn't for me, too many arses.

I try to get out every weekend however a new child and increasing domestic duties are putting the squeeze on.I do enjoy taking the bike to work but the Harley is hard work in rush hour traffic.I find if I don't get a ride in I start to get the bikers form of cabin fever (sort of like women's pms) amazing how it disappears when I start the bike.

Whenever I can. On days that I can't, I have been known to go into my garage and just sit on the bike. Does that count?

Oh it sure does, I mean, I have done that myself when I cant get out, and it does take those "Blues" away.:woohoo:

Everyday, regardless of weather.
Got an XV500SE which is my lane splitter for work and a GL1200i for the weekends and Rally's.
Got a cage too but it just pulls the trailor to the dump ;)
