May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
I can conservatively estimate 30,000+km.
Work bike normally travels 15,000km+ per year, no issues, just commuting and travelling to clients to sort out issues.
Had the new toy for just over 4 months, and I've done 16,000km (ok, 15,992km - just ready for its third service as of this evening). The only thing ugly about that mileage is the cost of tyres and servicing... and the big hit of depreciation when I eventually sell it
oh... and for 3 months in early to mid 08, I didn't have my license either, so it was limited travelling, as per my work license.
edit: If I keep up the pace on the toy, it would cover 48,000km in year, then tack on the 15,000km for the work bike, and a conservative estimate would be 63,000km. I swear the bike shops see dollar signs every time I walk in the door (and I rarely walk out without having bought something, or ordered it).

10,000 in last 9 months 3 of which i had no licence and havent ridden on the road for the last 2 lol so cicked over a few in the 4 months i had it on the road !
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
About 8,000 a year commuting (if I go direct), about another 5,000 at lunch time just to escape. The rest is a combination of shopping etc. and just riding for the hell of it. All up about 30,000 annually.
I don't own a car at the moment so apart from a few in borrowed cages all my ks are on the bike.

i did about 20000 miles in the previous 6months before leaving the uk, (commuted 90-100miles a day, edinburgh to hawick) then rides with the streetfighter club at night and then all over the country for rallys in the weekends, since ive been back in nz, i only commute, since my bike is only 120ccso only 4000km over here
well since october i have already done over 12,000km... but will be a slow down once i go back to uni and also with winter (driving to mountain for boarding in weekends instead)... but im definitely thinking over 20,000 in a year!!!
no explanation... other than fact that i try to ride whenever i can!
35000-40000km/year, commute 450km/week, rest is riding. Most I have done in two days is 1260km
If you have gone more than 20,000 km,
post your distance on my other poll, here:

Don't ever argue with an idiot.... they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
I've done about 11k the past 12 months but in saying that I have done 1600 in the past 10 days and may be doing the tt2000 this weekend... so the next 12 months should see quite a few more added![]()
