How many miles this year on your bike?
 
I'll probably win with the lowest mileage. I moved my ZR1100 out of the garage twice so about 40 feet is it for this year.

Tore a tendon off in my shoulder in the beginning of March, surgery in May and just had surgery again Nov 22 .

Next year :rockwoot:

How many miles and any great experiences you want to share?

With a lot of rainy days while I was in TN, an even later spring here at home, and then OCS during the peak riding season, I didn't get much. Probably around 3k.
It was awesome getting to the Gap for the first time, as well as all the other TN roads I hit.

I have about 4,500 miles this year. And that's with my friend having the bike for the last month and a half too.

Mounted Avon tires and they are terrific. Over 6K miles. Mounted a video camera early this year and made 134 videos. With snow and an Arctic blast coming in tomorrow, that might be the end of riding this year.

The Gap is on my bucket list. The triple forums guys go for a week in May ( iirc)

I saw a few of your videos, it helped with being stuck with four wheels

He needed to take a trip and I needed the money. I haven't quite told many people that I was laid off in February and took a crappy sales job to pay the bills until I find a real job. Nothing has come through yet.... :no:

As long as he has the bike he is making the monthly payments, and we both have full coverage ins on it. Plus he's been riding for years, so it doesn't bother me a bit.

Sounds like it benefits both of you. Hopefully you can find something decent soon job wise :beers:

It's been a pretty slow year for me. I don't even know if I have 2k on it. I miss the old (single) days. The first 9 months I had my first Virago, I put 21,000 miles on it! I haven't done that kind of mileage in a long time. Next year will be better! I've got a Route 66 trip in June-July so, that will be a good 5k or more I can count on!

pauldun170 12-03-2013 10:20 AM

I think I put on about 4-5K on it.
Not really sure since I rarely have the mileage displayed. I always leave it on Trip A to track MPG and how I should plan out my gas stops.
So yeah...I put a bunch of 150 mile trips on the bike this weekend.

Less than 100 miles. She'll be up for sale in the spring.
