    Question How many km have you done in the past year?

    How far have you gone on a bike during the last 12 months?

    If you have not had a bike for 12 months yet, estimate how far you will go in a year.

    You may want to explain how you clocked up over 20,000 km, or only did a gutless "under 500 km's".

    [edit:]
    If you have gone more than 20,000 km, post your distance on my other poll, here:
    http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=92152


    --------------------

    I did just over 10,000 on my GT250, taking it to Napier a few times, up to Rotorua, and numerous times to Wellington.

    Have already done just over 10,000 kms on the VStrom: 3500 kms on a S Island tour and 2,000 kms up to Dargaville, also around the central plateau mountains, and the rest within a day of home.

    I'm estimating on 35,000 - 40,000 this year with 200km's a day.

    On the down side, I ain't going to be counting on much of a re-sale value in a couple of years.
    On the bright side the bike shop will be my friends.
    Sad when you have to buy your friends.

    Wow. Impressive distance.

    After I submitted the poll I wanted to add a couple of more higher distances but it was too late. :slap:

    It must be hard going from lots to zero
    Is the zero directly related to the 35,000?

    I am Half the year away, and have no real need for transport in general,
    so my 10.000kms a year are just for fun......

    Probably more next year
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    About 12000 miles on current rate - but there's probably going to be a winter slowdown.

    (Yes miles - not kilometres. I have no bloody idea how far it is to anywhere but I know how far I've gone)

    I've done 6000k on a push bike in a year in the past (2007).
