What's your 2013 Mileage?
« on: January 01, 2014, 12:09:45 »
So how many miles have you done on your Strom this year.

I did 3727 miles, an improvement on last year and my highest ever. I know they are "Sunday Miles" compared to some of the numbers that will get reported on this thread, but it's a good number for me.

I've done roughly the same distance as 2010, 2011 and 2012 added together.

My best trips were for ST6 and a run up into Scotland with the Squires meet on the way home.

Hmm... I'm actually not sure. Probably something close to 10,000... that's mainly a combination of my trip around the Alps, a few runs to and from Cornwall to visit family and a few other trips around the country. Most of my mileage tends to be longish distance trips.

Which means I have also had it serviced about 683 times this year and it's due another :)

6,000 on the Vstrom. Knocking on the door of the 7,500 (8,000) mile service now.

Done about 4k on the zx6 so 10k total for me last year, low for me.

Only 887 on the 'strom since September the 2nd when I picked it up. I only did about 300 miles on the Stelvio I had before it for the rest of the year. 2/10 - must try harder... I've got 4,000 miles on my M class though.

With moving very near to work (~13 miles one way trip), getting a 2nd bike, using the good lady's old car over this winter and taking the Strom off the road for restoration my annual mileage is very low this year. I even did the August bank holiday meet on the DR-Z instead of the Strom as it was already in bits by then.

~3300 done on the Strom this year :shy:
~2800 done on the SM :auto-dirtbike:

That makes the total a measly 6100 miles this year :bawl:  No wonder I'm forever craving to get out on the bikes lately :crazy: The Strom will be back together for ST7 and I have plans to ride a lot more this year, both on and off road :lala:

A poor year compared to last year, not sure, but fewer than 3000, probably 2,500 (still better than my worst ever in almost 40 years of about 40 miles)
Hardly got out the last 4 months. 2014 should be better, though! :)

At a guess I would say around the 6k mark. All pleasure riding, no commuting. (the wife says I/we don't get out enough  :shrug: ) my problem is I can't be bothered anymore, 30 odd years of bikes and starting to ache.  lol  lol

Less than 200 miles. Took her off the road at the end of Feb prior to to deployment to Afghanistan(mar-sep) and life getting in the way since my return to getting her back on the road.

Coupled with buying my first car in 2 years, shit weather and using the Gf's Fazer as and whenever required not been a great year for the Strom. :-(

somewhere between 17k to 18k.

Commuting the 7 miles each way to work every day, ST6, Bank Holiday @ Fat Rat's, West Wales weekends and day runs... around 15 trips. And a few runs up to Mid and North Wales.

With the good, consistent weather and the Mrs getting her bike meant more time out riding and little trips away means I notched a few more miles than last year.

Here's to more miles this year.  :auto-dirtbike:
