I ride about 10K miles per year. And I would guess that is about 3K with the wife on her bike, 2K with her two-up, and about 5K solo.

Since this is the touring forum, I'm guessing that there are some guys putting some serious miles down. I'm just curious ... is 10K a year about average?

 

A lot depends on the situation. In '96 ah wuz goin' through a divorce, an' put 'bout 60k on in 15 months or so. 2 1/2 years ago ah had a bypass operation, an' did mebbe 3k miles that year. This year, ah'm on track fer 'bout 14-15k miles....

 

I've put almost 17,000 miles on the RG in the 5 months I've owned it. So, I've probably but close to 25,000 miles between the FXRS and the RG in the last year.

 

Over the last 12 months I put just shy of 18k on my bike. 80% Highway, both to and from work and just touring. 20% was 2up with the wifey.

 

Not my best year, but 9K on the EGC and another 3K on the Valkyrie. Hope to do another 2K or more in November/December if we don't have a early snow. (gotta love that global warming!)

 

I did just under 15K in the last 12 months... Gotta find more time to ride!![8D]

 

I hear that. For me it's this working for a living that really gets in the way. Got to retire pretty soon. Life is too short. never enough sunny days. So many roads, so little time.

 

I bought my 1st bike (Honda Shadow 750 ) in May. I bought an Ultra in Aug. By the time frost and salt hit the roads here in MN, I should have about 13k total.

Isn't cool when you get into your car,and kind of forget how to drive "The Cage"???

 

10000-12000 per year is my average............and that is with a 4 month winter layoff. I do ride thru the winter, but it's very limited to the condition of the roads and the temps.

I'll do about 6,000 miles this year. I ride for recreation, not transportation.
