How many miles have you done this year 2015
How many miles have you done this year 2015
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 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

Re: How many miles have you done this year 2015
This is really shameful 460 I would be better getting a push bike, I enjoy tinkering and cleaning tho
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

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.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Re: How many miles have you done this year 2015
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
Slowly approaching the more bikes than birthdays achievement
