Sleeperhawk Posted May 2, 2008 Share #13 Posted May 2, 2008 Since the January 1st, just a little over 7,000 miles and since I got the bike, just broke 60,000 miles. So I am averaging only 20,000 per year. Not enough time to do the rides we want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Eagle Posted May 2, 2008 Share #17 Posted May 2, 2008 Probably have put close to 2500 miles on the bike so far this year, weekends only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEER30 Posted May 3, 2008 Share #18 Posted May 3, 2008 Forgot to look at the mileage was on Jan 1. So for now I'll say that my bike is shy 1 month of having for 2 yrs. now and I have just turned 33K . My new truck has 1,748 (had to rub some new off quickly) , but my past truck ,I only put 5 k on it in 9 months . Tires got flat spots on it for sitting to much and battery went dead ! :rotf: BEER30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BluesLover Posted May 3, 2008 Share #19 Posted May 3, 2008 2,700+ kms (1,700 miles) on it so far this year, ~47,000 kms (29,200 miles) on the 06 RSV. Not too shabby for a working guy who lives in the snow belt, IMHO. Cheersm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted May 3, 2008 Share #22 Posted May 3, 2008 Well folks...I have a sad admission to make. My bike has yet to be out of the garage this year. I'm usually gone all week and when I get home, I try to get the spring stuff around here done. Yard work, repairs, etc. I've had a couple of beautiful days when I wanted to ride and then decided to work on the yard or do some other work around the house thinking I would ride the next day. Then the next day it always ends up raining and then I'm on the road again. Got in around 2:00 this morning after battling flight delays and etc. all day and now it's raining here. I sure hope to ride again one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mike Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share #25 Posted May 5, 2008 You guys are my heros. I wish I could ride as much as you do. Guess i'll have to wait till I grow up and retire to put as many miles on as you, cause I can't put off family responsibilities. I enjoy riding alot but for now I have to plan on 1 or two big rides a year, and the rest I put into riding to work and back. I'm just glad that I have such a great family. They let me take rides for a short while on sunny days, then I get to come home and mow the lawn, and help with chores. And for some of you, (freebird) I hope you can get out there soon for a ride!!!! Keep the tires on the pavement!!! Big Mike:15_8_211[1]: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
