I did 1849 miles having ridden hardly at all since my thumb injury on Oct 25.

On the positive side I still beat one target using the bike 161 days in 2010 up from 146 in 2009 and 130 in 2008.  It's a good trend.

Semper G started one of these on the Britbike.com forum, too.  I think he may top out that list, not sure yet.  I STILL have to get out to my garage and look up the numbers.

I'm on 5475 km this year - most of it, probably, in tropical downpours!

I would probably prefer that to nordic thawing - at least the air and water is warm!

Less than 3000 miles in 2010, on R65 and R80GS combined. Probably my lowest ever. Due to sad events within the family. Followed by very happy event. The arrival of the new love of my life.
 She has gorgeous blonde hair, big blue eyes and weighs about 800 lbs !

9.465 miles on the R65, maybe 500 on the Triumph before I started to take stuff off for a paint job that I have not yet finished.  

It will be hard for the bicycle to compete, especially as I only ride it to a place where I can catch a bus, either 9 or 13 miles from home, whereas when I ride the R65 I just go all the way to work.

Before I scrolled down to see the lovely horse, I thought you were describing my ex-wife. Truth be told, I doubt if she really goes over 300 pounds these days. Honest. [smiley=ROTFLMAO.gif]

Annual mileage? For the first time ever with 50+ years of MC experiences, I went to the shop on New Year's Day and recorded the mileage on all four. Hope someone posts up this question next year... I'll be ready, fer sure. [smiley=thumbup.gif]
