How many miles did you ride in 2011?
« on: November 26, 2011, 06:37:39 PM »
I liked the feedback this got last year when I posted this question. So here it goes. How many miles did you ride your bike this year?
I bought my 2010 in January, but I live in Maine, so getting huge miles per year gets tough. I just passed the 21,000 mile mark.
Last year I racked up a nice 26,000 miles on my 2008 before totaling it on Nov.18 2010. 18,000 miles the year before from May 4 2009 (when I bought it).

Bought mine in April 2010 and now have 21500. I think I had about 10000 on January 1 of this year. But I also have another bike that I put about 3500 on this year and 4500 last year.

Total miles for 2011 so far is just over 29,000 between 3 bikes but the majority was on the C14.

I keep hoping for a 30,000 mile year. I don't think I'll hit it. I always wanted to hit 100,000 miles in 3 years under warranty. I only ride it for commuting to work, so I don't get all the weekend trip miles.

I don't know the exact number, but I think I'm about 18,000 miles total, with about 14-15,000 of that on the Concours and the rest on my Goldwing.

Yeah, I intend to break 30,000. It has been a great year for weather and I have had a great year riding. Trips to Daytona, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Indianapolis and Missouri. Plus more 200 mile trips to visit my parents than I can count. And my sis in Mississippi and my son and granddaughter  in Wichita. I am planning a couple more trips for December.

edit: just checked my maintenance records and I happened to change oil on 12/30/10 at 45049 miles so actual C14 mileage for 2011 is about 18900.

I have done about 6000 miles to date for this on the Connie.

I have put about 9300 on my 2010 Voyager 1700 this year.
I thinks the Connie is getting a little jealous. OooooRaaaahhhhh!

Maybe next year i'll get a few trips in  ;D

I bought mine the middle of June 2010 and now have 17,300 miles on it. I rode a lot last Summer and then locally all Winter. I didn't do as many trips this Summer. I travel for a living so I have to fit my trips in when I'm home. I'm guessing that between last November I only did around 9,000 miles. I hopefully will put another 500-600 miles on it tomorrow. I have to go to Washington DC and may ride it.

Assuming that I hit the Last Ride of the Year down at the Stagecoach Cafe, I should come in at around 18,000 in 2011.
