I've been commuting to work, riding Sophie more than usual this week, and as always on these rides the mind gets to wandering........ So, how far have you ridden your pride and joy sohc this week?

clarkjh · « **Reply #1 on:** June 15, 2007, 11:30:39 AM »

Only about 50miles this week, but have started to use it to commute to work about 40 miles return and maybe 20 in the evening puttering around.

It's only a couple of miles to work and back, but I take it out whenever I get the chance...maybe 50 miles this week.

I ride to work on the 750 all year round as long as the roads are ice free. The weekly commute is 125 miles, with that and other riding around, it works out to 5000-6000 miles a year.

I didn't think I could say 0-100, cause 2 trips up and down the block can't even be 1 mile, but it is running after sitting for 3 or so years. So she's resting. It will be July untill I can do insurance and tags because of other financial obligations, but that'll give me time to replace those leaking oil seals, and polish her a bit. And maybe a few more trips down the block!!!

Not one to ride, but two to work on. Is that like one in the hand is better than two in the bush?

CrisPDuk · « **Reply #6 on:** June 15, 2007, 06:36:18 PM »

None

I won't be doing any more miles on my CB this year, because it's at home in the UK and I'm here in Bangkok

Milage on other peoples bikes though (renters and borrowed), is about 100-120km

This was a 'big' week for Sophie. 4 trips to work and back, 230km round trip each day. As always she performed flawlessly. Now I'll treat her to an oil/filter change, valve check and carb balance.

Not sure of this week, but since I got the bike back together this spring, I've run just under 1000 miles.

NONE here either.......Stuck in Shanghai, China for yet another week. What makes it worse, I have a pic of my bike as the laptop's desktop, so everytime I'm on the 'puter, I get reminded of what I'm missing back home.....the family too, but you KNOW what I mean.

I miss the good 'ol USA!

Well this week my wife and I are not able to carpool since I need to be at work early for a class each day. She is driving the Saburaru and I am riding the Sportster (alas, not a Honda) 120 miles each day for a grand total of 600 by the end of Friday. The CB650 still needs tank and controls work and the CB350F is still a long ways from completion.
