How long before you need to get your 'fix'...?

[Akumu]

Of motorcycle riding?

I've been unlucky enough to be saddled with a Corneal abrasion. So, for the last week I've been out of the saddle. I should be good for starting up riding again tomorrow. (I commute to class on my bike when it's not raining.) Today I didn't go out as there's still a bit more light sensitivity than I'd like and I'm finding that I'm getting really eager to ride...

How long before you start getting 'the shakes' or what have you from not riding?

April 29th I think I broke my hand working on my tool truck.??? I didn't get it looked at cause I was afraid of the answer and the cast and the lack of riding caused by it if it was broken. Sooooo I gave it a couple of weeks to heal and went out two weeks ago to try and see how it felt but........Now it's over 6 weeks later and my hand is still f..ked. In this amount of time I could have had the cast off already and be all set. I'm such an idiot.

If I haven't ridden for a day or two, I just gotta... for me.


Even if it means taking the bike to work, I enjoy the 70 mile round trip. In fact its the only time I enjoy going to work

My coworkers and friends think I'm nuts . Actually they call me hardcore . As long as it's not snowing I'll ride . I've ridden in temps @ 10 degrees(heading home at night) . This bike begs to be ridden .

I'm a weekend warrior due to my job; riding my scooter doesn't count

My wife sums it up perfectly. Imelda is my wh*#e. I ride her more than my wife. That is a quote directly from the wife. Average week millage is 600. Once a month its 1000+. I have to ride or I start to suffer badly!

I chose "I prefer to ride every day, if I can.".

However, that rarely works out to be practical, for a variety of non-motorcycling reasons.

When I ride to work, I want to leave early just to get on the bike. Bitter sweet.

If I can take my bike instead of the truck I will. I have over 2200 miles her and have only had her since February. Not bad considering how late the snow stayed this year. Global warming is a crock!!!

 

[TonyMastodon]

I ride EVERY day rain or shine... Im the guy who takes the 40 min detour to get home (home is only 7 mins away for me, or 20 blocks up 1 hill).
I put about 4000 miles in about 7 or 8 weeks.
