Default Miles ridden

What is the average number of miles ridden per year? I bought my 1200 last August 15 with 20,000 miles on her. I just went over 34,000 yesterday on the way to work. I love to ride and usually ride to work 3 days a week(90miles roundtrip)- when I dont have to dress up. I ride almost every evening as stress relief from work and then try to get in a good ride every weekend day. I am surprised that often when I attend our local LOH meetings I am the only female rider at the meeting.

I don't use my bike as a daily driver but I probably average around 5,000 miles a year.

The folks I ride with put quite a few miles on our bikes.

I average about 25,000 miles a year, so the miles add up pretty quickly. Been doing it since the early 1970's, so a very low estimate would be over a half million miles on these damn Harley's over the years. LoL.....

Took my Sporty home May 5th 06. I have almost 6500 miles on it. For the most part my daily driver, and my stress relief. I love to ride.

Bought mine on 7/31/06 and I now have 2100 miles. Works out to about 7000 per year with the bike in mothballs for much of the long MN winter.
I will ride until I see the salt trucks.

Got my new 06 883L on 4-1-06 (Yep, April Fool's Day) hehehehe Anyway she now has 8,300 miles. Annual miles..will depend on how much rain/snow we get here this year. But I can probably ride about 10 months out of the year. Except for rain, it's a rare day I don't at least just make a cigerette run on my bike. And once I went out of state for the smokes...."sorry honey, I took a wrong turn somewhere"

purchased my 06 1200C on 7/17/06 and already have 5400 on it. It's my daily driver when it's not raining outside. I have a commute of roughly 100 miles a day, so I'll end up with quite a few miles on this little lady. I'll get home from work and relax for a bit, then find a reason to head out and ride again. Can't keep me off of this bike.

I had 10,000 miles on my Sporty when I traded it in a few weeks ago. I've put a few hundred on the Dyna already.
