Average weekly or bi-weekly trip of 150 to 200 miles. Then of course there are rallys I go on which are alot more (generally a total of 2500 miles in a 4 or 5 day period). And yes, generally my wife (if she goes) takes the car. In May I plan on going to the Eurika Springs Meet N Greet. And now, I'am not sure whether or not I'll take the bike because my wife wants to go on a trip from there (She does not ride or wants to ride - For her it's just - and ONLY My thing) .
