How many km have you done in the past year?

**MarkH** · 10th February 2009, 07:05

In less than 6 months I have ridden more than 14,000kms on the scooter, I am riding much more than I thought I would (and loving it) and am using the car less than I expected. Now I am going to sell the car because in almost 6 months I have only driven 300kms on it.

My kms have come from:
Commuting
Group rides
Solo rides
travelling to & from bike rallies

When I rode to the Magpie Madness rally in Winchester (South of Christchurch, not far from Timaru) I clocked up 2,400kms in 5 days.

1 year, 3 bikes, 80 000+km

If you haven't already voted on this poll please do so. That way we may get an update of average distances travelled to present to ACC.

When I had the Firstorm it averaged 20k a year... only had the Ducati a couple of months and already done 5k

and over summer a lot more will be clocked up... rally season

if the ACC proposle goes ahead... well that will filter down, and will put on hold for a period of the year... So less k's, less wear and tear, save on fuel, tyres, oil, and replacement parts etc inturn less gst for the goobermenit

Ride?

pppfffftttt

I don't actually ride my bike.

180km per week on the commute
20 to 100 km per weekend shopping / short rides.
One big 'a few days away' trip each year and the odd long day trip or overnighter.

85 000 km per year, but I have been dropping a bit lately

I just end up riding willy-nilly to all parts over and yonder and back and there again

Still not riding as much as I would like though ...

I've travelled a touch under 14,000km since I voted in the poll... and the bike would have been out of action for 2-3 months of the time...

Still over 20,000km... the poll needs more options, I've done 45,000km in 13 months, ish.

Jantar... if you want stats, the Grand Challenge participants that finished completed more than 73,000 miles without incidents...

I think i already know the stats, but others may not. Phil Read didn't cover distances travelled very well in his report, so I intend using this thread and poll as a reference if we can get enough riders voting in it. Ideally we need more than 400 votes so as to have a larger segment (and more up to date) than the one ACC have used.

12,000ks in the last 6months so that's 24,000 in a year

**duckonin** · 26th October 2009, 18:25

Hmm...Well this bike is just on three years old and is two hundred k's off 90,000...

Rallies, North and South, and is our main form of prefered transport....
