This was going to be a poll, but the mi/km distance conversion is too complicated for my brain to handle.

I've been riding for about 9 months now, just over 6000 miles on 2 different bikes. I'm hoping to hit 10k before my 1 year motorcycle anniversary .

How far do you usually ride each year?

10000 miles/16000km last year (my first year riding)

I hope I don't slack off as much this year as I did last year.

12 miles total lifetime (starting 16MAY05). Hope to get several thousand this year while improving skills.

1975-1987 approx 70,000km
1988-2001 bikeless and raising my daughters
2002 9,000km
2003 8,000km
2004 18,500km
2005 2,000km so far

920 Miles on my 78 CB750K

260 Miles on my 81 Goldwing

i bought my bike in August last year and so far i've put somewhere in the neighborhood of 2100 or 2200 miles on the clock. i plan on adding many more before August hits.

I will put 1,000 miles, minimum, on my bike per month for every month that is decent to ride in.

So, if we get an 8 month season, I'll expect to put 8,000 miles on just from going to work/school and back! And I know I'll be on several thousand more miles on trip/leisure riding as well.

That is, of course, assuming that my bike will hold together through all of this.

I'm at a shade under 5,000 miles and my one year anniversary is coming up in a couple months. I've got my work cut out for me!

Let's see, 200 miles every Friday, 500 miles every Saturday and Sunday, for two months... That should put me around 10,000 miles or so my first year.

7000 since September 1 '04., so expecting 10,700 for the year (I'll settle for 10,000 if I have to). Been thinking about not riding in 13 degree weather this winter, so next year may drop.

Same here . Even with a scarf my neck would start hurting before a minute into the ride. Having a continuous brainfreeze for an extended period of time can't be good for the body .
