What is your total mileage on two wheels ? (guess if necessary)

[davereid]

Hard to say, but I've owned 20 bikes in 30+ years of riding.
My XJ650 did 80,000km before being sold, and my GPz600 had about 60,000km on the clock when it was sold but I was second owner, only did about 40,000km of those. They were racked up pretty fast, 1000km per week commuting from Levin to Welly daily. So seem to average about 10,000 - 15,000km per year - must be around 300,000 to 450,000km total. Still doing around 200km week on my scooter just commuting to work here locally, plus any extra miles I do on my roadbike for fun on the weekends.

Yeah, I missed the extra '0' or two.

[WRT]

It's a bit of a stab in the dark, but I'm guessing slightly over 200,000, but probably not more than 250,000.

I doubt anyone has kept a log, and for most people it would vary from year to year, based on distance to your job, amount of holidays away taken, time spent not riding (such as between bikes, while abroad, or time spent licenceless). Also very hard to gauge off road k's, or k's clocked up on someone elses bike.

But still, the guess above is about as accurate as it will get for me I'm afraid.

[What?]

My one-bit brain (which is reputedly worth two bits) is guesstimating something in the vicinity of half a million kilowhojits. Or, for SPman, abart three undred tharsand moiles.

2 months riding and 4000km...

[vifferman]

Sigh. Goes to show. I thought the "too silly to work it out" option was just for giggles. Seems not.

I was going to put some totally bogus guesstimate in, then realised I haven't a clue, so that was the nearest option.
I can tell you what the approximate kilometreage of my last few bikes was when I sold/traded/wrecked them, but then again I can't remember what the initial figure was, so ????

[Motu]

Do what I did and just guess your yearly mileage,times years.Some years I may do less than 2,000km,some over 20,000km,so I reckon 10,000km per year is close enough.

[Ixion]

Thaz why the higher numbers are in steps of half a million K or so. I have no idea what individual bikes were. But thinking back over the years I found it not hard to do a "Well, from then to then , I musta done X km a year. And from 19xx to 19xx I only did about Y km a year" and so on. Not at all ACCURATE but it's not too hard to get within quarter of a million K !

[Lteejay]

Only been riding since beginning of Jan 07 and got about 600km on the clock. Me thinks I need to start pushing that up

[limbimtimwim]

Perhaps the poll should be like: KM travelled / years of bike ownership?

[MikeL]

For the wholly misguided purpose of trying to impress the next traffic cop to pull me over with my long history of safe riding/driving, I not long ago worked out roughly how many kms I've done in total (2 wheels + 4). While I have had to resort to inspired guesswork at times, I have a fairly clear idea of the mileage I've clocked up in my own vehicles and in company vehicles (I was a sales rep for 4 years and remember clocking up 150,000 km within 18 months in a brand new Telstar) - total comes to about 1.4 million km over 40 years. Unfortunately because of a long gap between bikes most of that was in cars. But I'm making up for it now.

Dam, will have to find all my ownership papers for this.
Looked for reg plate no's of my other bikes in my pic's of them. Didn't find any showing the reg's, but did find this:

LOL

It's the GSXR250 loaded up for my shift down ta Tuaranga in 2002

[Richard Mc F]

hmmmm had 20 mumblesomthing bikes and 3 or 4 cars....gotta be close to the 500,000 km mark

[scumdog]

And I WAS talking about MILEage when I voted......

[DougB]

I have been riding for 56 years, only did about 6000 last year as I am 76 years old, but even at that rate
56 x 6000 = 336,000
