    Done 20,000 ks in the last year. Thats higher than average for me. Im usually somewhere between the 10-12k mark.
    But I think the next 12 months may be another higher than usual one. Im off for a quick 5 day 3000 k trip in March Ya bloody ho!
    Its mainly weekends and fun with very little commuting involved.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    From the time I've owned my little ol'Hornet in August of last year, I've done just over 30,000kms. Yeah, yeah - mad riding and no-life and all that Just can't help it!

    Once that little ol'Hornet fires up, I just gotta ride it...and ride it...and ride it...you all know what it's like!

    I've been off riding since the beginning of the year (damn holidays...I ride less during them due to family commitments! ) Can't wait to get back to teaching so I can make up those missing 2000km average a week?

    Plan of Action : Ride 3000km per week from the 7th of Feb! (danger : may like riding the 3000km average so much I will keep doing it )

    Yeah, yeah, I'm a retard

    I'll do 20-24k a year, and thats limiting myself a fair bit (gas cost alone )

    What really hurts is then selling a bike you have owned for just over a year, and its gone from 52k, to 74k. People judging solely on mileage slaughter the value of the bike, making it farken expensive to upgrade

    I'm doing 1000km per week, but it is winter here, and that's just commuting. Come the summer I will be out on rides and taking detours on the way home so it will be more.

    I'm a weekend warrior so can't ride as much as I would like but still managed 22,000ks in my first year back in the saddle. Unlike the two gents of similar vintage (the guys not their bikes) to me just down the road who seem to have theirs more for bragging rights than to ride. They're just machines and were designed to be ridden - ride 'em. (having said that an MV Tambourini would probably end up on a pedastal in my lounge! )

    Not many. I don't get to ride while I'm over here in the UK, and while I was back in NZ last year I only really used it for commuting. And since it's less than 5km to work... I really didn't put many kms on it at all. Working weekends was the main culprit there, I just never got the chance to head out and ride. Hopefully that'll change once I'm back again, get another job that doesn't mean weekend work... and I'll be out a lot more often. It's going to be good.

    I'll generally do around 300-400 kms a week. I commute daily (4k round trip) and also try to get out on a mid-week ride and have a good Sunday blast.

    About 12,000 ks last year. But I do about another 40,000 in my cages.

    I usually do around 20000kms a year, but the last couple of years have been a bit busy so I'm under 15000km on average for the last 3 years.

    Like Ixion, I enjoy commuting on the bike. Gear on, on bike, empty brain, ride home, sleep soundly because brain is empty.

    Arrive at work with empty brain and big grin.

    Had "Roxanne" for nearly 3yrs now. Got her @ 30,000Miles (48,280Km's). She is nearly on 80,000Miles (128,747Km's) now. That means I've done 50,000Miles (80,467Km's) on her in 3yrs, so an average of 16,667Miles (26,817Km) per year. In 2yrs I had riden her more that she had done in 14yrs. Love riders that buy bikes for me and don't ride them much
