Default How many people frequent the interstate while riding??

Just wondering how many people are riding interstate when they are just crusing around, not commuting...

I ask this because I never ride interstate unless I am commuting, and i always see harley group rides on the interstate...

I avoid interstate for everything, unless of course I have to go on it like if im going on a trip or something but for going to work or local places such as mall or something I take back roads. If I have to be somewhere at a certain time I make sure I have enough time to get there and everything, interstate is boring unless you like going fast in basically a straight line.

Wisconsin here, and idk know about you, but I see road cracks, pot holes, construction, and dead bodies all over the interstate near me lolz...But i do like the on and off ramps to tell you the truth, i just hate riding at 80 and hitting a speedbump the height of a ruler...

I personally love it

Wide open road, plenty of room to move around, good cruising speeds

so long as you keep your head on a swivel, i don't see anything wrong with it

When I first got my bike I thought I wouldn't go on the interstate much but I like going on it now. I've been on it quite a bit since I got my bike less than 3 weeks ago.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it, while it is dangerous with big truckers, it may be a little more safe then a redlight.

I just dont like riding at a consistent speed for more then 30min. I like to slow up take a decent corner or something like that ever once and a while my self and find it more entertaining to ride back roads..

I dont like "cruising around", I'm not 16 When I'm on my bike, I'm going somewhere, and if the freeway is the fastest way that's the way i'm taking

I like taking backroads as well, a lot more fun than a consistent 80 going on the str8s...I have never been on a long ride by any means, but I have been on a 3hour trip to a friends house, and I would not want to travel all those miles on the interstate, especially with all this construction/flooding we've been getting...

every day for a few minutes

If I take surface streets, due to the retarded long lights around these parts, can take 3x as long on streets as it does to take the freeway, even in traffic

your assumption that I have never made the mistake of owning a honda is incorrect.

I avoid the interstate at all cost unless I need to get somewhere quick.
