How many miles/km this year?

[naphazoline]

20,000 km on me current bike since april...

must be something about those blades.....i've clocked up 11000kms in the last three and a half months

I'll roll over the first anniversary of Betty's acquisition later this month, and in spite of spending most of the final quarter of the year without a licence, I've managed to put about 27,000km on her.

I'm going to keep her until she's worn out. Best bike ever.

So what sort of money are you expecting for her ?

[NZsarge]

I seem to be averaging around the 20-22,000k's a year.

I doubt she'll be worth anything when I'm ready to be quit of her.

She exists as a means of efficiently converting my money into happiness, not into... slightly less money.

I do realise that certain Harley owners may have difficulty with that concept.

8750km since end March.....and counting.....

[Rockbuddy]

year to date bike #1 the cruiser 16000kms not used for commuting to work
bike #2 the sporty 18000kms approx

I struggle to reconcile bike ownership with paltry distances ridden.

I am constantly amazed by bikes for sale with mileages less than 1,000km per year of their lives. I mean, what's the point?

Due to the inclement weather in the colder months down here CB & I tend to ride mostly during the 'summery' months, hence my mileage is not that high ( but waaay more than 1000km a year- nearer 10,000)

BUT we are also into hot-rods and yank tanks so they also eat into our liesure time and account for many 1,000s of kms travelled each year.

So biking is not the be-all-and-end-all in this household.

'ere. I object.

I understand the concept entirely.

[Headbanger]

None.

My bike is kept in temperature controlled storage, Can't have the old girl devalue on me can I?

Madness to actually ride the damn things.



In fact, I only bought mine so I could post on Kiwibiker.

On the Hornet - 7,000, maybe a few hundred more. As its used for my personal pleasure that's pretty much weekends and the odd annual leave day


Plus I run up 10,000 in the shopping basket going to work and back and as a weekend hack. And a few thousand more in the 'good' car with the family.

[cynna]

due to working 6 days and week and only not having my daughter every other week i dont get away on the bikes very often apart from commuting to work

only done about 1500 k on the harley so sold that due to lack of use - dont have time to get away for weekends any more and rediscovered how much fun trail bikes are

9000 on the dr350 mainly commuting and the odd river ride

about 1500 on the motard that ive had about 6 months just hooning around the hills when i get a spare couple of hours

just brought a xr650 that im planning to put big miles on in the 5 weeks off i have from new years.........
