What's your 2015 mileage?
« on: January 01, 2016, 13:28:08 »
A record high for me, 4006 miles. I've been above 3500 a few different years, but never hit 4000 before.

1900 of them were in a two week jaunt down to Gibraltar and back though.

It's not a high mileage compared to what the commuters amongst us can pile up, but it's good for me on a pleasure only bike.

It'll be about 5000 or so. A bit down on last year as I didn't have any run in timing to work against. So long as its fun I don't care.

Want a bit of snow now, a couple of weeks of practising my three wheel drift will get a few miles on.

On four different bikes
Z1000sx only 1384
Glee 2678 to July
Intruder 1677 to July
Tracer  4667 from July
10406 on bikes (If I had not counted back I would not have guessed at half that figure.)

Car 15131
25537 in total Considering that I am a non commuting retired old fart I seem to do a lot of travelling.



This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

My bike is just for pleasure, though I plan a trip when the weather lifts,

I have done 3000 miles since I bought the bike this year, (see my join date).

1850 on the Wee (until march)
8840 on the Varadero (since march)
840 on the Enfield (fed- oct)
250 on the Gsx (oct onwards)
1650 on the Super Sherpa
Total= 13430.

Not as high as I'd anticipated, we didn't do any longer trips away this year and with the crap weather fewer days outs.

Must try harder next year.

The mrs did manage 40 miles on the Marauder, 2,100 on the Enfield and so far 450 on the Gsx.

Only managed around 7 or 8 thousand this year, a poor effort bud I did live away from home for half the year with no bike use :)

Must try harder next year :)

A few bike changes in 2015 so probably about 6k in total. Not as far as 2014 which was less than 2013. I think I'm riding less when it rains than I used to. About 8k in the cars.

Only had my bike since early July,but did about 2,800 miles until I put it away early November.I now spend most evenings looking at maps,with a faraway look in my eyes.Roll on the spring.
Ride your bike until it hurts,then err...Ride it a bit more.

about 13,500 miles last year - the vast majority of it commuting, but enjoyed nonetheless  :xmasgrin:
