How far do you go?

[Hitcher]

What sort of distance do you travel by bike in a year?

[White trash]

I've only had my bike since November. Done 11332km.

Almost worn out! :2thumbsup

[aff-man]

10 - 15000 km

[Hitcher]

I've only had my bike since November. Done 11332km.

Almost worn out! :2thumbsup

I've had mine since November too -- 16,500km, nearly run in! Two sets of Battlaxes gone, now onto the Metzeler Z6s!

[Antallica]

10-20k

Mainly commuting.

[duckman]

As far as she'll let me ... :D

[merv]

Only about 5,000+ per annum on two bikes as they are my fun ride and about 40,000 per annum by car/4x4 and about 10,000 per annum by train.

[MikeL]

42,000 km on 4 bikes in 18 months.
Cost of petrol, tyres, maintenance, repairs, accessories, insurance premiums, accident...: $thousands
Enjoyment: priceless

[Two Smoker]

Ive done about 12000km's in the last four and a half months..... A huge range of riding, from touring, to blats around some short twistys to commuting and a little bit of racing too :apint: alllll in a days work.... (well more like a few months work with the amount it costs :eek5: )

[Motoracer]

I wouldn't have a clue but possilbly around 10k-15K or so in a year I guess. Thats mainly just riding for pleasure.

[Motu]

Bikes are just lesure time now,abot 6000km a year,about 10,000km in my van,the missus the same in her car,one daughter does around 20,000km being a teenager,the other about 40,000km as a courier.Actualy about 20,000 in the van this year as things aren't quite normal,plus people keep borrowing it.

[scroter]

I do about 20000ks a year on the bike which none of it is going somewhere just ride it for the hell of it. Do less than ten thou in the car. About 100 thou in the truck.

[Firefight]

:wacko: had bike this since December 03, done 13k, weekday and week end rides out of town, to and from work and 1 day at Puke. two back tyres 1 front, 2 x services... :whocares: what it costs, can't put a price on the fun aspect :sunny:

Firefight :wacko:

[vifferman]

Stuffed if I know. :crazy:
I do about 25km a day, commuting. And that's about it.
No wonder I'm getting mahty tahred of riding - there's only a small modicum of fun that can be had riding amongst all the moronic D'Auckland drivers, and after that it just becomes dangerous...

Mebbe if I could get out in the weekends to play....?

[White trash]

I go as far as i can but my wife goes all the way.

we've got two kids to prove it :laugh:

[wkid_one]

Shit - now this thread was not what I thought it was about.....how disappointing. When riding was doing about 500km per weekend on the bike on one ride. Do the Coro-Loop etc, down to Tauranga, etc.

Then just mucking around on the other days. Put 21,000km on the VTR in the 18 months I owned it

[madandy]

I do 250 kms a week commuting and have averaged that much again almost every weekend since I've had the 400.In the last three week ends, though I've clocked up about 1000kms with the corromandel loop, a trip to Auckland and a couple of fangs over to Rotovegas.I dont drive our car much uness its for a club event to the track.

[RiderInBlack]

Last year the VFR750 was my only vehicle and did over 30,000Km in a year. Mix of commuting (worked as a nurse in Tauranga), rides and touring.

Had the CBR1000FL for 3 months and have eazily done over 5,000Km on it already. Use the Ute for work. Can't carry the Anvil and Hot-box on the bike, but have used the bike if I'm only trimming horses (get some interesting comments from the horse owners when I do). Use the bike for any long trips I make (usually Whangarei to Tauranga to catch-up with the BOP CC's). Mainly rides and touring (but have enjoyed the odd time around the track).

[fpsware]

I do 350 Km each week commuting, and then on the weekends anywhere from 100 - 400Km. Fortunately the ride to and from work isan't in much traffic, living in Tauranga, and working on the otehr side of Te Puke.

Last year on my old Suzuki FXR 150 I did nearly 15,000Km. That includes about 3 weeks touring around the South Island on it. Since upgrading to my ZXR 400 I never really had the time to do a lot of touring. Now I'm upgrading to a ZX-9R I'm planning on doing a lot of touring.

[Wonko]

About a 15 000 plus on the bike if I keep riding like I have been the last 2 and a half months (3500 km) . And about another ten in the car.

[LB]

Have done 22,000kms in 9 months on the Monster. For two months of that time the bike stayed in the garage at weekends (flew to Ruapuna three times, took the car to a couple of other race meetings).
No commuting, all weekend pleasure/touring riding.
Cost? Don't give a shit.
Enjoyment? Priceless

[Big Dog]

80% commuting 20% pleasure.

Would like to ride more.

[Timber020]

I do about 10,000 a year on average, last year was a little lower but the year before I did over 20,000kms. Im going to do more this year, business vehicle has to pay itself off after all :laugh:

[phil_elvey]

When I lived in Sydney I rode 37kms to school and back (74kms return) many days, as well as the the usual running around, plus the weekend trips to visit my mates, many of whom lived 500+kms from Sydney

[moko]

I've only had my bike since November. Done 11332km.

Almost worn out! :2thumbsup

I`ve done a bit more than that since buying my latest bike at the end of last August,bear in mind though that takes in a Brit winter,heroic or what?

[Dodgyiti]

The commuter does 3500 a month
And the toy about 1000 a month, probably more if I had more time

[Jackrat]

Had this bIke a little over one year.
Done 10500kms.
Pleasure only.
Don't know where or when,didn't think I'd done half that. :spudwhat:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

14,500 last 12 months
Pleasure only.
Got 12,600 from my last Pilot road rear. :innocent: The Diablo is going to die a lot younger. :shifty:

[Sensei]

Just under 28000k a year . Off road while motor got rebuilt last year / Oh & again now getting gear box rebuilt should be apart tomorrow & will see the damage . Looked at SV1000S tonight I think I may buy one.
Just need to look at it a couple more time's to see it sitting in my shed me think's :2thumbsup SENSEI

[Sniper]

Fair bit of commuting (Round 100kms a day 6 days a week) but then I dont care, I love taking the "long" way home.

For those that come down (or up) to Picton any time soon, look Stevo or myself up and go for a ride through the Queen Charlotte Track.

[bear]

Only touring and pleasure riding for me, would have liked to do more but only 1000km over the last month - damn it got to get out more.

[JohnBoy]

normally do about 150k's a week on the bike, i like to keep on it or it will pack a sad and not start/run properly.
however last year when i worked full time i didnt have the use of a cage and was some times doing up to about 400 km a week. ahhh... those were the days!
by choice i like to take the bike on holiday as often as possible but funds regulary stop that from happening.

[mattt]

I brought my first bike, a 90fzr400 in March, put 10000 on that, then 10000k on a zx9... that's a lot of petrol , pads , rubber and tickets :spudwhat:

[mikey]

i ridfe til i run out of gas... then i push for rest of year

[XTC]

There's no option for how many hours you've ridden in the last year... If there was I could put 38.3

[wkid_one]

Usually never past 3 base on the first date unless shes hot....

[ducatilover]
