    OK, who does the LEAST mileage in a year?

    Man, this is embarrassing, just dug out my ownership papers for my CBR600. I registered it 17/10/03 the speedo reading was recorded as 22,466kms. The reading on the speedo today is 24,777km, two years later. A grand total of 2,311 kms!!! Bugger it, I'm off for a ride......

    Here I was feeling embarrassed about the 3000km on the R6 in 6 months. I've done 1800 on the CB400 in what, 6 weeks for goodness sake.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Hope you had a good ride Gav, but I'd never want to admit to such a disgraceful amount of time wastage not riding! :slap:

    OK + about 10, dont want to wear it out. OK, must confess when I registered it it looked something like this, missing a few bits, put some twin headlights on it and did enough to get it revinned and a WOF. Then added a few more bits like a fairing etc and now its been painted and pretty much finished (and its for sale) but am suprised with the low kms, sure I'd done more than that.....

    I average about 9,000km a year. It may increase with the new bike.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Well my speedo cable broke on the work bike about 2 years ago
    I use my GPS for a speedo - Gets it through a WOF no problems.

    But I also use it on my other motorbikes sometimes and in the car and on the pushbikes oh and GeoCaching.

    My fun bike has a pushbike speedo and I get about 6 months out of a battery so it never gets above 5-6000Km.
