Odd that 415 folks looked at the post and only 55 recorded in. Are they embarrassed by their lack of riding? Or have they gone so much further they conciser us paltry?
Hello, fellow Stromsters, this is a communal effort. Your input makes it a mo bettah place.
How do you see how many people have viewed it? I use my iPhone predominately for viewing this site on the motorcycle.com app. Is this something you can only see from the PC?
I figure that as I only bought it about 6 weeks ago my mileage would be of no consequence.:serious: It's got just over 2600klms on it now so by this time next year I could be in the high 20,000's I hope.:laugh2:
Only about 2200 this year. A very late start for me due to a broken collar bone and subsequent surgery (11 screws, steel plate) and I didn't want to risk it prior to late June. Not that I don't love taking risks. (I'd ride a fat Harley if I didn't)
If you go to "general V-strom discussion" forum and scroll down you will see the numbers of replies and views on the right hand side. At least from a PC you can.:wink2:
bought my 650 sept 5 2015. +-2100 on it now. before i retired 7 yrs ago i was riding nearly 13K/year for the 12 years i had been mc'ing. LOL, now it's 8-9K/yr. two grandkids take up a little time, especially if you're providing daycare. no regrets, though. don't make me post pix....LOLOLOL.
Bought mine on 10/31/15 and just hit 1,500. I would have more miles but my work commute round trip is 12 miles. 2016 will be the year of the road trip.
Over 30,000 miles for 2015. Typically I ride around 25,000 miles per year. This year I wanted to ride in every state & Canadian province. Didn't get to Hawaii & missed a few of the provinces. Hopefully I'll get to those next year.
Slow year for me, injured both shoulders, tore up the right shoulder again, and then tore a rotator cuff muscle that won't heal working on a stubborn transmission bolt on a car. Taught me to use the impact wrench more and breaker bar less. Did less than 5K this year, sucks getting older and more frail. Haven't kayaked or done much on the bicycle either. At least I can ride locally, just hurts to wear a motorcycle jacket, especially taking it off.
Got one long ride in before I had my bad injury, rode up to Watkins Glenn and saw the falls in NY. Rode the BRP and Cherohala and N GA, so at least I did have an extensive trip in before my shoulder tore again, already separated it on that trip though. Nice and painful with a separated collar bone, but it was so nice seeing NY and PA in the spring.
I like to ride about 10,000 miles a year for fun, but health issues have slowed that down. My best ever was about 20K riding to work and taking trips, I actually parked my truck and only rode two bikes for most of that year. One good ride out west can put 8K on, its not hard when your having fun...
Hi
Just under 22k miles this year, most of it in the Eastern States.
This 'Limey' had a great time.
Thanks.
