    Years, but you got me thinking and I tried to add up the time spent on a bike ( Amsterdam not included ..)

    I mean if you work in the industry , and spend hours a day, on a bike , then ride in the weekends .........I wonder if its possible

    Have seen some taxi's and trucks approaching the 1M kilomentre marks.....albeit "some" of them roster their drivers / share the vehicle. But not all of them. And if the taxi/truck is 9 years old...Im guessing some people are driving 100,000k per year?

    Surely riding could be similar.

    This months Kiwi Rider mag - a guy clocked 134,000 km on his 250 within 4 years. He works, and the k's are all here in the north island (i think).
    Some serious saddle time = especially considering he works - not some kid on the dole etc.

    So, 36,000 per year.
    1 million k's in about 28 years. Achievable.....

    1.6 million k's (1 milionm Miles). Damn.....even someone riding a lot would likely take 40 years. (40,000k per year.) But yeah, achievable. Unless they are in their 20's and claiming this....
