I was just wondering how many miles a year everyone rides, how many years you have been riding, and how many miles you think you have ridden in your lifetime. I know we are all busy with work, family, etc and wish we could ride more I am just curious as to the diversity of our miles ridden.

Thank you

12,000 last year

8-10, 000 on average lately. My math says over 150,000 total.

 

[Paladin1]

Probably 30 k in the last 12 mo. Been riding on/off for 40 years. No idea how many total.

 

[Habanero Kid]

Well, I just put 2590 on my FXD in the last month. Getting ready for a road trip about 2k more miles. I put 25k on my shadow before I bought the HD.

 

[otterbob]

only been riding since this past may. have put a total of 6,000 miles on bike since may. put 2600 on my hd in exactly a month. i cant quit riding. just got home from work and it was in the mid 40s out. a little chilly on the legs. i am pickin up some chaps today. i plan on ridin till the weather stays in the 30s or even colder if i can bear it.

[Unome]

Been riding since Mar. 2001 and put 5,000 on first bike(Mar - July 2001) and have almost 18,000 on existing bike which I bought in July 2001. I ride about ever day to work - 86 miles roundtrip.

 

[GLIDE]

I have had bikes for over 20 years and have coverd maybe 30k miles. My
2001 Electra Glide is 2 years this week and only has 2200 miles. I dont get to ride as much as I would like to.. Now my 2002 vette has 52,000 miles Wish that could sit like my bike does.

This is my 40th year riding, some years you do over 30K, some years you get busy and do maybe 12K or so, but I usually ride customers bikes for a day or two after engine work so it's impossible to keep track of additional mileage.

The most miles I put on a single bike were 284K.

 

[JoeJitsu]

For my current bike (V-Rod) I got in April I have now put on 6500 miles...
not sure where I went but I hope I got there.

I don't think I have to explain to anyone here the feeling of just cruising on a bike for hours...total relaxation -until some b1tch too busy talking on a cellphone tries to occupy yer lane.

 

[DPrice]

Just turned 16,000 miles on my 2001 Roadking purchased in April of 2001.

Been slacking off a bit with the vette, work, wife, kid's football practice, and yardwork. Man, are my priorities screwed up or what?

 

[doc526]

Im am beginning to ride more. I have turned over 2000 miles on my sporty I bought in middle of May. So the total for me is 1000 miles in 3 months. That sucks!! I just got my full bike license (permit before, however been riding dirt for 18 years) and now I am planning on riding the bike to work every chance I get. If your wondering YES, I took the MSF Course. I plan on about riding 20k a year. I am looking at some long trips in the future. (sturgis, bike week, and a few trips just riding to places for the hell of it)

Ride safe!!

 

[Boismier]

lessee, never paid much attention before. I got the FXDXT new in November 2001, it now has 7,500 miles on it.

 

[Sporty Kid]

Average per year (1 year being 1 riding season), is approximately 10k. Actually I'll probably do a little more than that this year, but who knows about next year. Last year I did about 10k. I don't ride to work much at all, so all those miles have been on some awesome weekend trips and day trips. 1 trip to Kentucky this past June and I'll add on some more when I go down to Texas in Sept. Current mileage on my bike is 18050. Got my bike June/July (something like that) of 2000. Didn't do a whole lot of miles the first season - was learning how to ride, and working on the thing, making it the way I wanted. Will easily break 20k in the next few weeks (and looking forward to it).

Now why'd ya go and make me do sum Thunkin' fer? HA!
I never keep track of totals so I had to stop and compute. The only miles I track are for maintenance. It took me awhile to come up with totals so here they are:
I've been riding 30+ years on metric bikes (got my first ever Harley on order) , I ride an average of 25K per year , This year so far I've ridden 15K , and I'm ready to start riding my Harley, Dog-gone-it!
