How far have you driven/ridden - in your lifetime of driving?

[slofox]

Very slow day here today...$22.00 worth of sales in 2.5 hours...:yawn::zzzz:

So I got the calculator out...:crazy:

I've been driving for 46 years and riding as well for 41. How far have I travelled on the roads in that time I wondered?

Checking the logbooks, I have averaged around 20,000km per year in the cage. Multiplied by 46 years, that's 920,000km...

On the bike, I have averaged 18,000km per year on the latest bike. But I prolly didn't ride that far in earlier days. AND I had a couple of gaps in the 41 years when I had no bike at all....soooo, let's say 20 years of continuous bike riding (conservative estimate) and maybe 10,000 km per year in that time (also conservative)...still another 200,000km.

1,120,000 km....:eek5:

No bloody wonder I have no money, paying for the gas for all that...


Anyone else bored enough to work it out?

Mostly I use a 3 wood but can go 350 yards if I connect with the One.

The One and I are not good friends...

Is that why he made you look like your new avatar? :confused:

[avgas]

But some doctor told me with some breathing techniques and some drugs I could double that

[Gremlin]

About 116,000km est.

Been a menace on the roads for 4.5 years

[StoneY]

Truck Logbooks I still have at home = 1.1 million kms over a 5 year period-
220,000 kms a year (just for them 5 years)
Had no bike then
Worked in the trades up till then so also did fairly high cage milage daily- probably 20k a year for work alone?

Add my 15 motorcycles I have owned....
Used to get home from work and ride/drive to relax....

Total- GOD knows!!!!
But its bloody high:whistle:

Had full bike license 25 years this December- Cage license 23 years- Truck licenses 20 years
Think the only thing I cannot LEGALLY drive ona public road is a forklift at this point

[Hiflyer]

Not far enough :scooter: :scooter: :scooter:

[vifferman]

Whelp, I've been driving for about 87 years, and riding for 86, and sometimes riding and driving for 23. I've got a car-truck-bike licence, and have also driven tractors gokarts boats snomobiles mywifemad and shopping trundlers. I've been on ships planes buses skis and trains, and at a quick calculation plucked out of the blue rubbish bin under my desk, rounded off to the nearest inch, I've travelled exactly about 17,306,954,211.636.
Of some unit.

Probably pound-hectopascal-lolliop-mutanteaters.

[Swoop]

I have scientifically worked out an exact distance of zero.
I am in the exact location that I have travelled to, for all of my life.

[Devil]

Prob 130,000 on bikes, maybe another 150,000 in cars.

[Ixion]

No idea. Be way over a million miles. If I exclude that trip to the moon.

[slofox]

...mywifemad...

Damn...I forgot to add that in to my total..mmmmm probably triple the distance I should think - it took a while but I got there in the end...

[Hitcher]

My driving is worse than my putting.

I believe you waved at me on the Freeway yesterday. Do that again and there will be trouble.

[crazyhorse]

Not enough hours in my day to do the calculations - but done more on bikes than cars, been driving for more than two thirds of my life, so must be heaps :lol:

More than three quarters of my life....

[Thani-B]

Been riding for about 20 months. 15,000kms on a bike.
Driving for 4.5 years. Roughly 90,000kms in a car.

[koba]

Crap!
At a quick glance I have ridden lots of kilometres since I started riding!
I've been riding 4 and a halfish years and just stopped counting at 650,000km.
The crazy thing is I havn't ridden alot of kays in the last two years.

[sunhuntin]

i have no idea of the exact figures. i did 3 years in row averaging 10,000 per year. id say, all up, about 40,500, give or take. i have no idea how many k's i did on the first ginny before she wrecked, and im a bit shy of doing 30,000 on the virago since purchase. also no idea how much i did on the 500 before i sold it. not all that bad for 4 years, but could have been more i think. not getting much riding in anymore due to working 7 days a week, but hopefully got a few days off next week and might take the bike to levin or something if the weather clears.

Yes you can - go to the old train station, follow that sign that says subway and go and see the Auckland subway.....proposed opening in 1975!
