How many miles have you done this year 2015

Post by popkat »

As title, how many miles on your Storm or your other bike(s) individually and/or combined..


Shameful really for me, I've covered about 1025 miles on the Storm, From beginning of May until Devon storm in July I did about 950 miles, since then I've hardly ridden it. On my VFR I've done about 500 miles this year, when I mot'd it in October it had done 885 miles since the year before, VFR is supposed to be the hack :lol: I think the truth is I've aged and evolved into a fair weather occasional rider, where it used to be important to me to get out on the bike there is no longer the burning desire, I get the feeling I'd like to take the bike for a spin every now and then but a short ride usually does the job. I do hope I get the urge to ride more back again, even if I did 3-4000 miles per year it would be more worth having the bikes :roll: :wink:

This is really shameful 460 I would be better getting a push bike, I enjoy tinkering and cleaning tho :thumbup:
Just checked year before and I did a total of 788 miles from June 2014 - July 2015
I was thinking is it worth keeping it or not, I think that question has just been answered

Hummm .
Quite hard for me to tell really, I had a translogic dash fitted and it was not fitted correctly so I read the same miles as before ....0 miles
But On a plus side it showed 256mph so I reckon I've got the fastest storm in the world.
Long and short I need a new dash best get saving me thinks :end:

3000 until i sold the Storm,6300 on the CB and already 5000 in the new A4 in a Month. Most fun on the CB though. However the A4 has the fuel payed for.

Not enough. Did between 4-5k on the VTR and have done just under 4k on the Strom.. Definitely the least active year so far in my biking career
