:confused:So how many miles do you reckon you've clocked up over the years? From first owning to present day across one bike or multiple bikes you've owned?

Do you ride all year round or Just Summer/Fair weather?

I used to clock up 15-20k per year when in my twenties, not so much now. Never been overly concerned with the weather, adjust your riding to suit.

Mileage wise probably 100-120k on two wheels, ish.

Edit: I've covered about 800 miles this year so far.

Probably less than 1500 at the moment (only passed a year ago). Still a bit of a newbie when it comes to bikes. I ride all year round but my commute is only a few miles so I don't really rack up the miles that way.
 
About 15k miles over 3 years so far.

Although im clocking more up this year due to the GF now being down in Southampton 140 miles away
 
at a rough guess ive clocked up 150k to 200k miles acros a number of bikes over 15yrs ive been riding,i clocked up 50k + miles on my zx6 g1 alone
 
About 10,000 in 18 months i reckon mainly on race tyres so couldn't do that much as to soft - stereotypical person who should not have a motorbike....
9 points, 3 month ban, 2 wrote off motorbikes and a 6 month stay in hospital lol.... Used to ride in all weathers - remember once i had to have a run-up at my driveway because the snow was so thick the rear wheel kept spinning when i tried to get up it lol.

fair few thousand on track - 2 x 600cc championships and a few race wins to show for it.
 
well, last week, I MOTd the blackbird, and have done the sum total of 870 miles since the last mot :(
mainly because I got a new car, and the commute is 1.5 miles to work.. and getting my gear on and off takes longer than the actual ride
 
I've done about 10miles :D

Hahahahaha!

Sam managed about 50,000miles in a year... another 50,000 to add in a year and a half hopefully! :D
 
Worked this out the other day actually.

I`m a motorcycle courier,average between 40-50,000 miles per year and been doing the job for around 24 years now so now on 1,000,000+ miles. :eek:

200,000 of those i did on a old jelly mold CBR600,god i loved that bike. :)

Have you got any plans to go racing this year?

racing - unsure. Had to modify the bike to sit my injuries so see if i make it better and it rides better so just track days for now. was 10s off the lap record last time out which annoyed me and i shouldn't have been.

Having a house limits my impulsiveness - would be awesome though!

something ive wanted to do,but goods in transit insurance was expensive
 
I reckon around 18K, however 12k of them were covered in the first year. Last year, I reckon probably around 500, but I've been insanely busy, and required my car, which I've done about 20k in this past year. After Afghan though, I intend on covering many many miles on the new bike :D.
