It's a rhetorical question - extra warm and fuzzy for the beloved lurkers among us. Time to hit the reset button, Volks!

12,552 for 2010 included no psycho squirrels, lots of embellished phat ladies, one drop and roll in Dan'ls front yard, and not so many naked ladies. The good news - I get to start anew right about now!

I hope you all have many, many miles of smiles throughout the New Year! ~Jeff

Starting Mileage: 54,200
Ending Mileage: 65,876

2010 total: 11,676 miles including one SS1K and not including one 200 mile tow.

I also accumulated 66,000 frequent flier miles, which cut into riding time a little.

I didn't start keeping track of miles until I changed the oil on July 3rd. Since then, until the 31st of Dec. I only had 5760 miles. This year I will start keeping track of the miles in Jan., starting today with my New Years Day ride.

Not many here.  Been working too darn much but I will try to improve my average this year.  Happy New Year to all the VRCC members, families and friends.

2010 saw 22,425 miles on my fast, black 2000 Interstate.  Can I do more this year? 

Will just have to see how the 'kitchen passes' hold out.

Did not keep track from 1/1/10.  I'll take a picture of the odometer before I head out this morning, so I'll be able to answer one year form now! Smiley

Almost 16,000 on the Valkyrie.  8,500 of that in 18 days.  3-400 on Janet's bikes.

Good year.  Can't wait to start over again!

No long rides this year.  Sad
Only about 1278 miles, want to be in 5 digits for 2011.

Maybe a couple of trips to see the grandson in Houston are called for! 1250-1300 mile round trip, straight shot.  cooldude
