you're in georgia and you are not a year round rider? I rode every month since I got the bike, and I ain't salty!

What does being in Georgia have to do with being a year round rider? The weather I assume! I'm in Florida...year round, baby!

There's no such thing as a crazy rider...remember that.

Back in February of 05 I bought the FJ 600 you see in my avatar. From then until September when I left for basic training I rode it over 8000 miles. Not sure what that is in KM. I haven't rode since except for a few jaunts on a friend's YZ 125 and some ATV rides back in January. I'll hopefully be doing a lot more riding once I get back home from Iraq though! :mrgreen:

I put over 11,500km on my V-Star before I sold it. Doing 300km a week just going to work felt like nothing...

Weekend trips were good, usually 3-400km.

My mate's son bought a bike (5 months ago) and only has 600km on it... I put that on my new V-Rod in a weekend!!

Why buy the thing if you don't want to ride it.

Over 20,000 miles last year alone. This year I'm only up to 6,000 but I have to take it easy after my accident (injury with nerve damage that kept me from having full control of my right arm from Oct 06 to June 07)
