On one oil change a while back, I re-used the filter...but I wouldn't do it again. After removing the filter to let it drain, I had to reinstall it much, much tighter than it was before, just to keep it from leaking. For the price of a filter, it simply doesn't make sense not to put a new one on.
People seem to over-think oil, and I am not one of them. It gets changed once a year, usually in April or May, regardless of how many miles I ride the bike.
It works out well though....a 5,000 mile year is pretty average for me.
