How many km for how many years have you done?

[TOTO]

Was wondering how many Km have people done for their experience riding bikes.

TOTO --> 4months, 20 000kms

:scooter::scooter::scooter:

[Oakie]

No idea what I did way back when I was a yung'un or even what I did on my first bike back when I started riding again about 4 1/2 years ago. I know the last three years have seen 37000km go under my wheels though.

[megageoff76]

TOTO --> 4months, 20 000kms

Thats a good effort mate, hell i dont think ive even done that in 3 years...but then most of my riding these days is commuting.

You've only been riding 4 months.. seriously?!

I've been riding for.. 2 years. Clocked up about 24'000 miles.

[TimeOut]

Since I have started riding again.

6 months=== 12000km.

Yea , saw the 20 600k on the clock today and it gave me the idea of starting the thread. Bike had 600k when I got it :D

Josh , is your speedo in Miles bro ?

[crazefox]

2 yrs 1000kms

[banditrider]

17,800km in the 8 months I've had the Connie. Not getting too many up at the moment though...

[TOTO]

2 yrs 1000kms

Why ? :blink:

[Sparky Bills]

Average of 600k's between Monday to Friday for the last 6 years. Plus weekends and 4 years before that.

Sooo..... LOTS!!

[xgnr]

'course with your mileage you should think about an old Beema. Ya just need to replace tyres and Oil/filters and feel the love.

My old K and I have clocked up 40k in the last 12 Months.:hug:

You need to think about doing a Grand Challenge Toto... you have the genes :wacko:

[homer]

i had bikes 11 years ago now for 2years then
clocked about 50 000km back then , rode others bikes as well earlier than that .
2 years ago till now about another 30000km

i recken all up in my time riding bikes maybe about might be getting near 90 -95k
I know of a broke speedo cable for a good few thou as well

[Ixion]

I do around 25000-30000 a year nowdays. Much more when I was young and didn't have to report in. Though nothing of heading to Whangarei or Taupo for a quick burn after werk, get back at 2am. There'd be much explaining to do if I did that now, it takes all my facility to explain a mere 100km on the scenic route home from werk.

[crazefox]

Why ? :blink:

lazy,,too busy etcccccccc

[TOTO]

You need to think about doing a Grand Challenge Toto... you have the genes :wacko:

Its on my "To Do" list. I'm gonna be practicing for it in the next uni hollidays :D

[madandy]

maybe 80thousand in 14 years on road. never really counted.

[xgnr]

Its on my "To Do" list. I'm gonna be practicing for it in the next uni hollidays :D

Good one. far be it for me to provide any advice (as a GC newbie in 07) however the good news is that there are lots of people happy to help you out.

The ability / will to ride for 20+ hours thru' (mostly) the night and in shit weather is important. It is a great experience and well worth giving it a go :lol:

You need to register soon tho' as slots are filling up for '08 :wari:

Yep, great fun - get into it! Haven't registered yet but I've got my leave booked and can't wait.

[McJim]

1 year 8 months 35,000km....wait until gijoe1313 gets here though!

:rofl:

[HornetBoy]

1 and a half years at 600kms a week .... plus weekend blasts = approx 45-50,0000kms over that time probably more ,the long mileage riding runs in the family tho :2thumbsup

Thats over about 6 bikes ....:whistle:

[Ixion]

Well, I dunno. Cos you can't ride north, on account of , once we get both you crazies out of the North island we're going to seal the borders. And south ,the going gets pretty tough only a Spragthorp can handle it. So unless you just ride round in circles, it pretty limited.

[munterk6]

Been riding for 37 years, must have done at least half million clicks,these days Im averaging 15000kms a year,about 5000ks commuting and 10000ks touring the S.I. Every summer I circumnavigate the Island with my mates and have a REAL good time!!! :scooter::first:

[Rogue]

Riding for 34yrs lots and lots of Kms and hope for many many more :apint:

[xwhatsit]

1 year 8 months 35,000km....wait until gijoe1313 gets here though!

:rofl:

He may take his while getting here -- I suspect he's out clocking up even more ludicrous mileage on his brand new Hornet.

:oi-grr: I dunno, I think all peeps would ride as much as I do if they had the opportunity and inclination to do so! :innocent: Right?

I've answered enuff threads to do with milage yada yada yada! :sweatdrop

Suffice to say, I gone through 3 sets of Diablos ( 20 000km life out of each on my little ol'hornet) ... 85000km in my first year as a noob biker (but it seems with a Big Ol'Hornet, I yam now a fully bona fide big bike biker card carrier!)

But to tell the truth, I am losing track of the kms I am pootling! :lol: I guess I should go out to Daisy and little ol'hornet and Pippi and add up the milages I done on them combined by now! :scratch: Nah ... screw that, I be an Englisk treacher and not a Mathemagic one!

Some clever person with more time on their hands worked out I doing something like 260km a day or summit like that ...

[swbarnett]

In my first 10 years of riding I averaged about 30,000k annually (no cage back then). After a 13year gap I bought the GN and I've done over 20,000k on it in the last 18 months.

No matter what or how many vehicles I own I seem to do about 30,000k annually combined.

[dangerous]

TOTO --> 4months, 20 000kms

25yrs and an excess off 200,000km on road plus track time.


17,800km in the 8 months I've had the Connie. Not getting too many up at the moment though...

Is that you in ya sig pic/profile pic?
If so thats some farking shitty riding mate, I dont like your chances at making 18,000k or 9 months if you keep those lines up.

Its actually 232.876712 km per day.....sounds VERY hard to believe:Oi:

[roadracingoldfart]

In 1980 i got a CB400/4 with 26000 km on the clock.
When i finally retired it after several engine rebuilds and heaps of race wins and track time the speedo showed over 200,000 km and that was in 1998/99 then i got my CBX750 f2 with 3 km on the clock , i sold that with 85000 k just over 3 yrs later. :crybaby: i loved that bike .

I was doing Wgtn to Hamilton return on the 400 every weekend when the G/F moved at one stage for around about 7 months so i got used to SH 1 lol.

[gw555]

65000km in 21 months on the yellow one

[sunhuntin]

i reckon about 35,000 in 3 years, on 4 bikes. an unknown number on the 86 ginny and the 83 virago, 10thou on the 06 ginny and just shy of 20thou on the 98 virago.

[Mr Merde]

1995-1996 250,000 miles or approximately 400,000 km

The last 2 years 65,000 km

The rest of my riding career

32 years @ approx 30,000 per year = 960,000 km

So over a 36 year period somewhere in the area of 1,500,000 km

[phoenixgtr]

40,000kms in 2 and a half years. Wish I could do more...

You sir, are my guiding light when I am out there pootling around. You've done most of those K's on other continents and out and about, no cage licence, rain, sun or whatever, you get out and do the hard yards!

I've done all of mine for pure enjoyment and the satisfaction of the ride, you have done it as a profession and still enjoy riding on two wheels!

I'm not worthy! :not:

Piece of piss mate, a comitted rider could cut that out in a little over 20 months, non stop at avg of 100kph....:wacko:

If you met him you'd understand --

In Papakura at about 10.30pm, working on EJ's bike. Time comes to test-ride it! NO KEY! WTF! GiJoe1313 rings EJ, finds out he has the key in Albany.

GiJoe1313 jumps on RZ250, tears off into the night, returns with EJ's key. There's a cool 100kms on the spot.

I believe he just told me he's heading off to Wellington shortly once school finishes :wari:

[The Pastor]

Ive been riding on and off for about 4 years, ive done close to 150 000k's.

I did my last 15 in 5 months, but damn tyres and gas is getting expensive! half my income goes on gas, the other on tyres!

[MIXONE]

I spent 20 years riding old triumphs and the speedo rarely worked on them so farked if I know.37 years of riding in total so heaps but never enough.

[ManDownUnder]

LOL not sure but it's coming up 80,000kms on the one bike since... 2003?

[Mr Merde]

....37 years of riding in total so heaps but never enough.


I know the feeling. There is never enough time to go riding. Even when it was my job I still looked forward to going out on the bike.

I got tired, cold, wet, miserable but never once did I ever regret being out on a bike.

Even one night when I went from Cardiff to Great Yarmouth and back in the middle of a wet and very cold winter night.

Something like 800 miles covered that night taking into account of getting lost in Norfolk (what a flat and boring county)

[Dodger]

65000km in 21 months on the yellow one
Nice, Im currently at 21500km in 20 months.

[parminder_singh1984]

5 1/2 years, 1,75,00 kms in india including 7 trips to the mighty himalayas....

[MVnut]

Fook is this a repost repost or what.......35 years with a license, 7 more b4 on the dirt as a sprog..........all up including track kms around M2 to 2.5 :devil2:

[borg]

Were you going to see a girl, by any chance?

Over time, I've developed the theory that pussy is the single most common motivation for long-distance two-wheeled missions.

[Ghost_Bullet]

19628km on my Griso from this time April 08 to 07
12384km on same bike April 07 to April 06

On my previouse bike and before rallies 9056km 05-06
and before that mainly for work 5500km 04-05

and the bikes before I have no idea.

I have owned the griso since 06 and have consumed a total of 1886ltrs of gas to complete the total km's of 32012km.

ok thats enough for me.... but sure more social riding is beginning to munch up the km's especiall over the last season, with taking the long way to get to many places for the hell of it.

[Sketchy_Racer]

80kms a day (weekday) so 400kms a week comutting over the last 18 months = 30,000kms just commutting.

Plus about 2000 race kms in that time, and how ever much I ride in the weekends which can be up to 800kms sometimes..

[Hitcher]

63 months, 150,000km.

[Mikkel]

I did approximately 10,000 kms in my first 6 months over summer and such. Then I started crashing my bikes and haven't done so much recently. Winter is on its way and I have a car as well. I don't expect to match the first 6 months over the next 6...

Whatever you do - do not sit down and calculate how much money you would have spent on petrol when considering these figures... :no: Not unless you already have your dreambike and a nice house ;)

Petrol, tyres, servicing, registration and insurance. Not to mention gear and other accoutrements. And accommodation, food and coffee...

"Hey, bikes are way cheaper to run than cars, aren't they..."

[MIXONE]

Fuck I'm glad I'm a biker
Tatoos scars and all
Fuck I love my lifestyle
And fuck I have a ball.

Ha ha ha Not!!!! but who's to care.. I know without gas in the last couple of years with all bits and bobs included excluding gas... my 23k bike has cost me a further 11k in two years.... but who gives A???

I have loved every second astride me horse.... even if gas heads closer to 3buck a ltr.. not gonna stop....

LOL... my bike uses exactly twice the cost of fuel per Km than my cage does. :pinch:

Unfortunately not. \

It was the other most common reason.

MONEY

Had a two way delivery so I got paid about 400 pounds for the trip

[oldrider]

I don't know and I don't care!

Today was my first ride (to Oamaru and back) since Easter Sunday. (Fell off, broke my shoulder and ribs)

It seemed like 100,000 yrs ago, since I rode my bike.

What a fantastic ride!

Is there any better reason for living!

What could possibly be as magical as riding a bike on such a wonderful day? :ride: Yaeeeee! John.

PS: Well there is sex but lets just dwell on today. :sunny:

[WanderBird]

2 months >> 10,000 kms

Loved every second of it

[old git]

1,000,000 + k's, 17 bikes, 34+ years..................Gotta go the weathers great and its Anzac day ............and the missus has given me the day off to GO TWIST THE WRIST!!!!.

[ambler]

Living in Tokyo I did about 60,000km in 8 years, even with bikes as my sole transport. Now if we were measuring hours in the saddle, I would probably win...

[skidMark]

2 yrs 1000kms


Jesus, you want sell? lol:devil2:
