Does that mean you get to clean the Main Armament (the pintle-mounted fifty cal) and watch the annual training-budget missile launch?

Okay, well given the meaning of your nick name, I guess you only fix the big guns, and don't fire them ?

You are still going bloody well sAsLEX, you pretty quick, just need to bite the bullet a bit more and throw it into the corner at slightly higher speeds

I do about 300km per week on the work bike normally but some days will get to 100-200kms easy.

I did 70,000km on my HD Tour glide in the first twelve months I had it.
I was living in OZ and on a mission to see as much of the place as I could.
On my current ride I have done a grand total of 5,000km in just under twelve months.Havn't even ridden it for a month,needs new chain an sprockets and every time I go to buy em' something else comes up.Like Hunting,fishing,a couple of shooting comp's,an all the costs that go with em,to much work an not enough time.Lookin' at four new tyres for the Nissan soon,,$250each,Choke

I only do about 10k a year now but did spend 18 months as a london courier doing a minimum of 600 miles a week. Some weeks I'd clock up over 1500 miles if I got a job to Liverpool or something. (200 miles each way.)

I did hit 600 miles in a day once on the job. 200 miles in and around London over the day then picked up an urgent run to Liverpool at 5pm. Got to Liverpool via a couple of other drops on the way at about 11:00pm and back into London about 2am.

Oh - make that 2 (two) buttons - you need another one for "Who Cares?"

On third thoughts, make that three (3) new buttons - you need one for blatant liars: "A Bajillion kms/year".

Taz only a bit of fun mate if you really dont give a Monkeys ignor the post no need to get all bitter an twisted about it

If you really want to work out how many K's you have done Grab your rego certificate and work it out. If you have one? and hav'nt diconnected the speedo? do you have a speedo? on your bitzer1000?

I've managed 7000kms over the last 12 months.....just getting on the bike and fucking off to get away from the kids for a while !!......As they get older I'll go further more often !! I know that if I was able to I would rack up a hell of lot more but the opportunities are rare.....Still now my eldest is 14 I can go in the weekends instead of just during school hours ........

Sheesh, I get on mine to go and see the kids - seeing as how they are in Palmy and Wellingtown and I'm in the Big Smoke, means I clock up a few k's seein the kids. But only if I have to!
