then I have some work to do!! I don't get any commuting miles because I live 3 miles away from work. That's both good and bad.

Good point, my mileage is a bit higher.

ER is 31 miles one way
bronx jobsite is 43 miles one way
westchester jobsite is 51-57 miles depending on my route

So you can see the commuting miles add up fast, plus I want to limit the miles on my car for now so it lives a little longer and I can clear some personal and financial stuff before realy needing a new one

Wow, your commute is almost the same as mine.
Sadly the Buell is sitting in the shop with less than 4k on the clock

I'm going to try my damndest for a podium finish, as I highly doubt I can get in the miles to pass you, let alone pass G-rex

ehh 16 days... 2k/16= 125 a day... not bad... I put on at least 50 commuting (sometimes take the long way home)

got one more trip coming up... should be enough to put me at least in top 5. don't think I'll beat Jared, Grex or Tommy... but who knows.

At least you got almost 4 on the buell, I was just over 1k miles when the regulator shit the bed

I wouldnt use it to commute too much though since I have to ride through some dirty/dusty/rocky ares getting on and off hte jobsites.

I think its safer in the ghetto in the ER, its not a big 4 jappanese bike so they dont know what do do with it, but it is clean nad shiny and that attracts attention.

I didn't enter into this one, so no worries from me, hahaha.

I forget, when did it start anyways? I've logged 16k since April 5th tho, but I thought it started after that sometime

Damn, I may have a difficult time making top 3, with as much commuting as you guys do on the bikes. But I'm not giving up!

I've got in abt 7k. I will probably do 10k for the year. Not much else I can do. Working way way too much.
