how many miles you puting on your bike?
« on: February 14, 2013, 12:21:42 PM »
i was just reading another thread and it made me wonder how many miles are you guys riding a year?  it doesnt have to be just sohc figures either... maybe if you know howmuch you put on your bike for transportaion compared to joy riding....

 i put a total of about 7000 on my ST this year and i cant imagine any more than 1500 being for transportation i rode from pitts to georgia and had that as a 2000 mile week

i guess ill add what the most youve ever put on in a week?

Oh man, Ofreen's going to blow us all outta the water here, just sayin.  About 500 in a week once & usually never enough since.

I put on 20,005. Seriously, hats off to Andy, he really does get out whenever possible. I had a lean year in 2012, maybe 6k tops.

Never bothered to pay much attention to the odometer but my 550 is my daily mode of transportation in the summer provided no rain is in sight.

My '74 scrambler had just over 6k on it when I got a new battery and sorted out other problems in July. When I put it back in for tuning in Sept it had about 9500, mostly all just riding around aimlessly from gas station to gas station.   100 miles a night or more sometimes. So much easier and quicker than when I did that sh8 on a bicycle.
