How many miles do you ride this year?

[Jack B]

For me it was one of my lower year. They are put away till spring.
Tourer - 2480
I/S - 2800
ST1300 - 3220
Total-------------8500 miles

[Bighead]

I put 13,000 on my Interstate this summer 8,000 of those was on a 13 day trip.
Don't rightly know how many on the standard maybe 4,000 not sure

[Oss]

not so much, had u joint problem over the winter
just 3 good rides
from home (Ossining NY) to the Kentucky ride in Corbin
from home to the VOAi ride in Cambridge Ohio and the foothills of the Appalachians
from home to the VRCC Inzane in LaCrosse Wisconsin

and less than a thousand other miles

so figure 6000 about on the Valkyrie

About 3000 on the BMW commuting to work and riding on the weekends

Less that 10000 between both bikes

the Valk is now around 87500.

[Hoser]

Probly about 10-12 thousand only got one long trip in.  I'm gettin too old for those 20K years. Hoser 

[BF]

Not nearly enough...and not nearly as much as I'd have liked. 

[Pete]

Not nearly enough...and not nearly as much as I'd have liked. 

+1

Really do not know the mileage, but whatever it was it was not enough.

[Willow]

Not enough.

Less than 10,000 spread over four Valkyries.

The least miles ridden in many, many years for me.  The good news is that where I live the year hasn't ended.   

[Ghost]

3000 on the Harley, 6300 on the Valkyrie. Since I sold the Harley Ultra next year will be all Valkyrie, 

[donaldcc]

  Usually about 12,000 for me.  Busier with work and a few other things so only about 10,000 for me this year. 

[Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005]

Best year with most miles was 2009... 31,000 miles and I have never rode my bike to work ( I work on the road in 7 states ) .

I write my miles down on New Years day... My year is not over in fact we have a Gulf coast ride planned right after Christmas.

I have done The Dragon several times on 22 wheels 

[old2soon]

I average 10000 to 12000 a year. Not as much as i'd like but it's what I can afford.   Put the 3d set of tires on since I've owned it. I ever hit a big lottery i'll be on the board from da road.   Be da biggest motorsickle whore you ever did see!!   RIDE SAFE.

[DirtyDan]

22k

dan

[Christbiker]

prolly bout 8000  hard to tell this year cuz I went thru a few Valks and rode them all.

Blessings,

Woody

[Hook#3287]

10k spread over the three bikes.

[musclehead]

easy enough for me to remember   I got the cob webs dusted off and fired my bike up after a 4 year nap. from the begining of december last year to this year right about 10,000.

unfortunately those were nearly all commute miles  

[saddlesore]

I went from 22,000 last year to 12,000 this year.  Age really caught up to me this year.
No snow on the ground here right now but tomorrow as much as 6'' with more along the lake.
Yup, I'd say the riding season is done for the year,  

[art]

About 12000 since moving to Or. I have averaged 14500 since bought new in 2002.The first four years were in Az. so My yearly mileage was a lot higher there. I think 12000 in Or. is good considering the weather for five months sucks. 160000 total.

[Serk]

Not enough.

Less than 10,000 spread over four Valkyries.

The least miles ridden in many, many years for me.  The good news is that where I live the year hasn't ended.  

After this year I hafta disagree... The good news isn't so much that where you live the year hasn't ended, the good news is that you live to ride again at all my friend...

[cookiedough]

Since I bought my scooter putting on about 1500 miles this first year of ownership, guessing only about 2500 tops on the Valk.  Last year was pushing 5K on Valk which guessing was my all time high ever on any cycle past 20 years.

Still better than less than 500 miles each on my 3 ATV's. 

[HurstRob]

As first year riders, from Feb to now about 6500
All on our Valk.

[Mallett]

30,365 but the years not over yet....hope to get a little more riding in...

[Charlie McCready]

9,154...............only 424 on the Valk.  Hope to do more in 2014. I'm usually 15,000 to 18,000 but was busy all summer building a new garage.

[baird4444]

6,554......    but I didn't get my Valk till Sept. 1st.
   Ill try harder next year, I promise!!!

[.]

I've put 8,000 miles on the Valk since I bought it in March and around 4,000 on the ACE since the beginning of the year. But the ACE was down for about 4 months with carb trouble and I was out of action from early August until the middle of October from shoulder surgery so I'd have gotten a lot more in otherwise.

On the flip side, the 2004 Mustang GT has only seen the street for around 2,000 miles this year.

[Willow]

After this year I hafta disagree... The good news isn't so much that where you live the year hasn't ended, the good news is that you live to ride again at all my friend...

That's very true, Serk.  I am a very fortunate man.

Incidentally, we have likely all passed close to ending it all more than once.  Some of us, though, have had more obvious reminders.   

[DarkSideR]

I thought I had a good year with 5,200 miles on the Valk but feel like a slacker after reading the post above. I guess having to active kids and working a full time job takes its toll on the mileage.

[R J]

Seven miles difference between MGM & the Chevy Trike.

I'm ashamed of the mileage, so I'll not enter it and be ridiculed.

Oh hell, 474 on the Chevy Trike, 480 on MGM.

BAD BAD BAD..................

[Marinakorp]

12,000 Miles... and that was with her being out of comission replacing the Pinion (etc)... followed by personal pains for the past 1-2 months with shoulder and elbow issues...


Seeing an Orthopedic guy tomorrow...

Yeah R J might appear bad at first glance but didn't YOUR warranty expire about 12 or 15 years ago??  And yer always saying how that short leash that that is your O2 bottle limits you. But R J wanna say something here and you KNOW I've never been face to face with you-you and Wayne keep me inspired to keep on riding as long as I can throw a leg over.  I'll be 69 in Feb and good LORD willin and the crik don't rise i'm gonna continue to ride as long as i'm able. The ONE thing we have in common with every one else on this board is our love of riding. We don't gotta splain to no one cause we KNOW.  RIDE SAFE my Friend.

Ya'll is correct old2soon.    I'll be 82 next September.     If Red don't kill me 1st for doing things she tells me not to.

One of these days when she bonks my skull with that firkin skillet, she just might hit the right button.       But I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

She been a bangin this old skull too many years.

I think it has a built up muscle around it and the bangin only get the skill muscle that makes it just bounce off.      LOL.

You tell her I said that, you is on your own, I'll deny it till my dying day.   LOL.  

[BobB]

I'm ashamed!  2013 was the shortest year in the last six, only 6127 miles.  Part of the problem was that Inzane 13 ground zero was only 68 miles from my door.  The only long hall was to the Black Hills for Bike Week.

[Red Diamond]

How many miles ridden in a year, I've never noticed before, but I did change oil in all four bikes at least once. That oil change happens every 3K miles, so guessing, I'd say about 10k for this year so far. Good question, but I'm more into enjoying the ride rather than keeping up with how far.

[Big Bear]

The mileage most of you put on is amazing to me.  I had someone ask at work a couple weeks ago and I said about 3500 and they were shocked that someone could ride that much in one year.  You guys must spend a lot of time in the wind on weekends? Or is it just all the time anytime you can?

To start off with i'm retired and divorced-double jackpot!!  When it's nice and I ride my Valkyrie to church I've been known to do 150-to 500 miles after church just RIDIN. Sittin here one day last summer and I needed Tn. and Ms. for states ridin in on the Valkyrie. 480 some miles later I had them. The V A hospital is 104 miles from my driveway to their parking lot. It usually takes 160 to 300 miles to get back home from the V A hospital. Closest H F Tool store is Springfield Mo-bout 84 miles. Takes about 200 miles to get back home.  Ya startin to see a pattern here??  Sides-these Valkyries make it very easy to wad up the miles and smiles!!  RIDE SAFE.

[GotValk]

I too only Logged 4200 miles must be a Minnesota thing, April - last ride was November 3rd.
Only 7 short months mostly weekends , I ride to work as much as possible 6 miles to work and 30 miles home .

I for one never ride to work so all of my miles are weekends and vacation trips I average 12-13k a year and no I don't ride every weekend. But I don't start my bike without it going 100 plus miles many days during spring and summer I will get up and phone a buddy and say hey wanna ride? And 9or10hours later we return home and logged 6-7 hundred miles I called a buddy last February on Wednesday night and ask if he wanted to do a weekender and he said sure where to so I said we gotta go south(I live in North Alabama)wel when Sunday got here we had been to Key west and back home love every minute of it

You are NEVER lost on a motorcycle and fer sure on a Valkyrie. You have elected to take an alternate route!!  Alternate route!!  RIDE SAFE.

That time I took a fun looking road in the eastern Tennessee mountains, didn't have a GPS, maps didn't go down to that detail, and when I had to switch to reserve just as I heard the sound of "Dueling Banjo's" wafting softly in on the breeze, I was lost... I was very very lost.
