What was your 2022 mileage?
« on: January 02, 2023, 15:13:40 »
Every year I ask "what was your annual mileage?", so what's your 2022 number?

I wasn't going to post it this year to avoid the embarrassment, but here goes.

I managed a pathetic 165, even in Roman Numerals it sounds crap CLXV. I should have just done 88 miles :shy:

Three miles a week! 16 of them were going for the MOT, so 149 for fun!

Life really got in the way this year.

Not great, was planning a lot more but work got in the way this year. I managed just over 4K… got some big trips planned for this summer so hopefully double that amount this year  :thumb:

A poor year really..
About 4500 on the Pan........now sold.
About 1500 get to know it miles on the 650.
But we have 363 days left to do them this year. Although with a daytime  feels like of 28f it'll have to wait.

Not sure yet, very few. MOT is due at the end of the month so I'll confirm then.

Life and "Hybrid working" has meant I'm not out much, and any miles I have done will pretty much exclusively be commuting 15 miles to work and back.

Just shy of 5k pure pleasure miles, by far the most miles I've ever done in a year.

A poor 3153 miles which is about half of what I used to do. If it goes down anymore this year I may give it up altogether.

Sad to say over my 4 bikes 0 miles this year after breaking the tendon above my knee, hopefully I will be able to get back on them some time this year 🤞

I was kind of conscious that only you would have lower mileage than me, but also knew you had a better excuse.

Good Luck getting back out in 2023 and beating my 2023 mileage - Currently both on zero!

A little over 12k miles in 2022, split between the F8GS (over 6k), NC750X (over 5k) and the Transalp 600 (over 1k in the 1 month I had it after sorting it out).

And I only got over the wall once in the year, so that's an awful lot of circles is them miles  :lala:

4700 minus the 130 done n the last two days.
No overseas tours this year, again, the furthest trips being Scotland & Wales. The rest just commuting between cafes for breakfast.  :)

I've ridden about 4,500 miles on two wheels this year, spread between three bikes. I only returned to biking after a few years away in mid August.
I bought my V Strom on December 1st, and had one ride before the weather turned nasty, and a couple since it's cleared  up, so only about 450 miles on it so far.
In a normal full year I'd be riding 15,000 miles plus.

That's true, maybe I should have written 'in previous years before covid, etc.'

Less than Rusty, more than Ridaz.

I'm estimating at 3 to 3.5k, the last time I put fuel in it was September (E5 luckily) and it's still nearly full.

Must do better. :violence-smack:

TL. I reckon you've beaten me. The Alston sorties always put more miles on your clock odometer trip meter gauges instruments f**k it, clock than they do on mine.

Don't know to be honest.
The batteries are currently on trickle chargers in the conservatory.

I'm guessing around 350 on the GSX1400 and around 2k on the Varadero.
Well down on the 18k from before I got a car.

MartinW, I'm guessing but I think SWMBO may have done more miles on bikes than you this year, I think around 150 on the GSX14 and she did a fair few miles on a few days days back to biking training.
