How many miles?
Ridden in total: 20,000 or so (I live close to work, so don't rack up much there), not counting miles overseas, on other bikes, etc.
Ridden on current motorcycle: almost 4,000 (from new)
Between fill-ups: ~120
Since last accident: 7,000-8,000 I think? Got knocked off my Hornet, not my fault.
Since last “close call”: 3,000 I think, was still breaking in my new bike, someone full on pulled on from side road, luckily they noticed me at last minute and veered off to the other lane as there was no traffic. There have been other stupid people of course, but none noteworthy.
Since dropping it: never dropped a bike. Apart from that one time I was on a bike that was dropped which involved a dirt bike, Thailand and me being pillion so not my fault. You know who you are if you read this :p
Since oiling the chain: 40
Since checking oil level: 300 probably, can't remember, was fairly recent
Since last speeding ticket: never, I know when not to... I mean, I never do, of course not ¬.¬

Another good one would be how many miles this year. Mine is around 4,000. Got my Speed in April, plus a few miles on my Hornet just before that.

I've done 10000 miles so far since January, with the bike being off the road for around 2 months, should hit 12000 miles for the year easy - so that's 13000 miles a year normally. Should hit 15k a year with a decent Euro trip or 2 in the summer.

Makes me a bit of a noob I suppose. I'd like a newer bike so I could go on an actual trip to somewhere good like up north. Unfortunately even £3k is a lot to spend when I'm trying to save for a house. Until then little 50 mile trips are the most I dare do!
