I ride for the pleasure of it all and have done 7500k since Jan...so that's about 250k a week. I'd do more if I didn't have a job. Just want to ride and explore, Nelson has so much to offer!
Oh no! A 'mines bigger than yours' thread.![]()
If it rains on your parade, use the umbrella of eternal optimism
Average 380-400km weekly all weather.
Hello officer put it on my tab
Don't steal the government hates competition.
I hate you all....... I wish I had more time to ride, I have only done 1500km in 3 months - whoopdedoo.
I hate commuting on a bike, I just ride for pleasure, and I obviously ride with nanas who only do a couple of hours here and there.
many years ago did 13000kms in 9mths on a XT250 that included everything from work commute to lapping the south island
Used to average nearly 600kms a week commuting to work that was a 4 on 4 off roster used to be great heading south out of ChCh seeing the morning mayhem charge of all those heading into town
I'm semi retired now, the guy I used to ridicule. About 12'000kms a year.
I used to average 35'000 miles a year, part time courier & friends in far flung places. Loved shaft drive & thermal long johns, hated black ice, salty slush & winter gales.![]()
Bike was new mid Sept last year, did around 5800 kms up until end March (March Hare). Since then have done a meagre 300 kms or so (not a typo, yes only 300!).
Don't use it for work as have a work vehicle. It's dark & farkin cold when I get home, so no point getting it out. Have had a few rides planned, but most have been cancelled because of shit weather. Can't see the point in riding in shit weather just for the hell of it. Roll on summer.
Shaken, not stirred in the shakey city!
One of my friends imported a brand new Ninja 250R from Japan around 2 years ago and he's only ridden 300kms on it. Waste of a perfectly good bike :[
100km's a day 5 days a week commute and the occassional bit of extra weekends, gives 24thou in the last year all weather.
would be more if i could afford the gas for weekend rides around the country side![]()
