How many km for how many years have you done?

[madandy]

maybe 80thousand in 14 years on road. never really counted.

[xgnr]

Its on my "To Do" list. I'm gonna be practicing for it in the next uni hollidays

Good one. far be it for me to provide any advice (as a GC newbie in 07) however the good news is that there are lots of people happy to help you out.

The ability / will to ride for 20+ hours thru' (mostly) the night and in shit weather is important. It is a great experience and well worth giving it a go

You need to register soon tho' as slots are filling up for '08

1 year 8 months 35,000km....wait until gijoe1313 gets here though!

[HornetBoy]

1 and a half years at 600kms a week .... plus weekend blasts = approx 45-50,0000kms over that time probably more ,the long mileage riding runs in the family tho

Thats over about 6 bikes ....

Well, I dunno. Cos you can't ride north, on account of , once we get both you crazies out of the North island we're going to seal the borders. And south ,the going gets pretty tough only a Spragthorp can handle it. So unless you just ride round in circles, it pretty limited.

Been riding for 37 years, must have done at least half million clicks,these days Im averaging 15000kms a year,about 5000ks commuting and 10000ks touring the S.I. Every summer I circumnavigate the Island with my mates and have a REAL good time!!!

Riding for 34yrs lots and lots of Kms and hope for many many more

He may take his while getting here -- I suspect he's out clocking up even more ludicrous mileage on his brand new Hornet.

I dunno, I think all peeps would ride as much as I do if they had the opportunity and inclination to do so! Right?

I've answered enuff threads to do with milage yada yada yada!

Suffice to say, I gone through 3 sets of Diablos ( 20 000km life out of each on my little ol'hornet) ... 85000km in my first year as a noob biker (but it seems with a Big Ol'Hornet, I yam now a fully bona fide big bike biker card carrier!)

But to tell the truth, I am losing track of the kms I am pootling! I guess I should go out to Daisy and little ol'hornet and Pippi and add up the milages I done on them combined by now! Nah ... screw that, I be an Englisk treacher and not a Mathemagic one!

Some clever person with more time on their hands worked out I doing something like 260km a day or summit like that ...

[swbarnett]

In my first 10 years of riding I averaged about 30,000k annually (no cage back then). After a 13year gap I bought the GN and I've done over 20,000k on it in the last 18 months.

No matter what or how many vehicles I own I seem to do about 30,000k annually combined.

[dangerous]

TOTO --> 4months, 20 000kms

25yrs and an excess off 200,000km on road plus track time.

17,800km in the 8 months I've had the Connie. Not getting too many up at the moment though...

Is that you in ya sig pic/profile pic?
If so thats some farking shitty riding mate, I dont like your chances at making 18,000k or 9 months if you keep those lines up.

Its actually 232.876712 km per day.....sounds VERY hard to believe

[roadracingoldfart]

In 1980 i got a CB400/4 with 26000 km on the clock.
When i finally retired it after several engine rebuilds and heaps of race wins and track time the speedo showed over 200,000 km and that was in 1998/99 then i got my CBX750 f2 with 3 km on the clock , i sold that with 85000 k just over 3 yrs later. i loved that bike .

I was doing Wgtn to Hamilton return on the 400 every weekend when the G/F moved at one stage for around about 7 months so i got used to SH 1 lol.

[gw555]

65000km in 21 months on the yellow one
