So how many miles did you put on your bike/bikes last year? How many miles are you shooting for this year?

Looks like I put about 10,000 miles on the Boss in 11 months. I hope to get that number up around 15,000 this year. What are you shooting for?

By the way I still didn't ride yesterday :( this flu bug just won't go away :evil:

This was the least miles I've done in quite a few years. Only made a little over 5K. Normally I'm around 8K or so. Just an unusual work situation this past year. Not complaining, I still need work to be good but it sure cuts into the milage.
Onward and upward in 2004

On the bike, the Trike and the Shortster, somehow I gto 11,248 miles per my Excel scoresheet.

Now if I add in the truck and car, we got 32,288 miles, and I didn't even go to Daytona...

This year, I'm shooting for less than that. I'm gettin old ya know...

Should put about 325 on the Valkyrie today just for lunch..... Big a$$ed 1 # burger, oh dem is good........ Lettuce, tomato, catsup, relish, mustard and the likes....... I'll eat 1/2 of it there and bring the other 1/2 home for lunch tomorrow........ LOL....... that is if BJ doesn't decide she wants it instead........ I'll bring her home an apple dumplin for when she gets off work......

I probably didn't get much over 20,000 last year between the two bikes. Spent too much time in the truck moving! Hopefully I'll get back to my normal 30,000 or so this year,

I'm a piker. Only put on about 6200 miles on the Valk last year. Gosh, some of you people really intimidate me, LOL.

I hope to put more miles than that on the Valk this year. I also hope to put on more miles walking this year. I only wore out one pair of walking shoes last year. At my age, I gotta keep going. "If you don't use it, you lose it" Between walking and lifting weights, I hope to hold off converting the Valk to a trike.
I thought that I'd have all the time in the world when I retired. Yeah, right!

This was a slightly better year at about 18,000. Back in my single days, about 35,000 was normal, but I found out that a wife and 5 kids will tend to lower that a bit. :roll:
When they were little, I was down to about 5,000, but it has been creeping back up some since they have gotten older. Oldest is a senior this year-youngest in 6th grade. I am hoping to add considerably to my current 400,000 bike miles as they grow more. I am eligible to retire in 5 years, but will postpone that until school expenses are lower. After that-they'll need a GPS to find me again! :shock:

I put about 13,000 on the Valk between the middle Of March and the 1st week of November. Not a huge amount by any means but not too bad for living in the Northern Indiana "Snow Belt". As for this year? No goals, I just "let it happen".

With the two big trips we did totaling a little over 8000 miles (that was just in June) and 2 other trips to TN, I put 18,000 +- on the Valk last year, and clocked 960 on the Sabre. I'm trying to keep the miles down on her. But boy is she fun. :D :D

Well, between getting remarried and a short honeymoon. Youngest daughter having first grand son, oldest daughter graduating college, then her getting married. I was able to get in 10,300 on two Valkyries. Quite a busy year for me. Looking forward to alot more riding time this year.

Last years milage was higher then my normal average because of the trip out West and a couple other "shorter" trips.

Goldwing - 18,000
Valkyrie - 2,500
Capo - 2,000
Boss Hoss - 5,000
Kim's Warrior - 500

Total = 28,000

I usualy average between 18,000 - 20,000 total. Having a longer riding season sure would be nice.

Racked up 22,000 miles last year. If I do it again this year I may be suddenly single! :D

Hope to do at least 15,000.

With 58k on my 02 Wing it has not been setting still. My plan was to be at 60k by the end of 03. Mother Nature does not always play fair. The harder I tried to get the last 2k the wetter I got.

This year was a disappointment. With the extended winter (salt and ice usually), and then kitchen remodelling in the spring/early summer, I only managed about 5,000. Last year was 15,000. I hope to get back up to that level again this year!

The Boss Hoss and I (somrtimes with the wife... :lol: ) put on about 15,000 miles on the past year, but I hope to increase that mileage on the next 12 months.

Ok, I'm at 65,124 miles now, and I had 43360 last January 1. So that is . . . . 21,764. :) And I still have the front Avon intact that I put on last year. Anybody have any idea why that rear tire seems to wear out quicker. Oh, yeah. It still has 98.9 hp and 98.5 torque when dyno tested at the Paducah Harley shop, and I only had 87 octain in the tank because of where the group I was with stopped for gas. :oops:

We had NO spring this year, the weather was awful, and I just started learning to play golf(goof?) so I went from An average of 16,000 a year down to only 8,000 miles this year. 3 summers on the Valk and I just turned 40,000 miles on New Years Eve.

Ended last year with 32,000 miles on the bike and now have 53,000 on her. About 21,000 miles last year. The trip to Las Vegas accounted for a quick 4600 miles.

Probably will not put on as many miles this year as the vacation schedule is being a little occupied by helping out my wifes folks in Cincinatti over spring break.

Events I hope to do this year.

Lake George
BBR gathering
Honda Hoot
Biketoberfest with a swing down into Key West

If I do all these I will be lucky fellow.
