Skip is that you @ less than 1000? Tsk,Tsk,Tsk!
Smitty and I will have to see to it that you do better this year. The 'T' stands for tourer, it's not an 'S' for shrine or 'M' for monument...

Averaged about 1000 miles/month mostly nights and weekends last year. Was riding a Virago 750 and didn't feel comfortable taking it on the freeway. Somewhat under powered and too light. Looking forward to riding my T to work this summer and expect to double the monthly distances.

My average miles are going to be down, as I no longer ride 35 miles one-way tp work. The work ride is now 14 miles round-trip.

ABV, I envy you. I'd like to cut my 29 miles commute to 14 miles. You can always take the long way home when you want to ride longer.

14,000 last year...what a great year it was!! I'm so glad I work for a school system and have summers off..feel bad for my husband...I called one day when I'm was out on a ride and say, Well I should be home tomorrow. Right now I'm in International Falls. His only question was..."How's the bike running?" I have had the best time on my
 . The best ride ever!!!

About 3000 miles to Sturgis and back, another 1000 from Hog Rock and back and the other 1000 to work and back on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My 750 Shadow gets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and other short trips around town. I managed to put 3000 on the 750 last year.

I put over 30,000 miles on my last bike in from Sept 2003 to June 2006. Most of them were local riding. I already have about 3,000 miles since buying my T in June. A day without riding is a day wasted.

Lets just say that my liability only coverage this year and last have run a little more than a buck a mile. That from a million mile plus rider in the period 1953 thru 2004. The mind and heart are willing to keep it up but the old body slammed a big UH-UH to those days. Miss it? of course -- of course I do, every bit as much as I miss flying, but cest la vie all good things will reach their end. Now I'm looking forward to rebuilding a trike to continue getting wind in my face. And of course I plan to stay right here in touch with this great clan of brothers and sisters of the Forum. Bless you all, you can never know what your presence has given me over the past two years.

At-a boy, Viper! Don't let it have time to cool off if you don't have to.
