So far this year I have 48000 miles on my Connie  and another 15000 on my Nomad.  I have plans to do another 4000 before then end of the year with the Connie.

I got my Connie on 10/1 of this year and I'll have 3000 miles on it by this afternoon.

I put about 6k on my Vulcan between January and October when I traded it in on the Connie.

63,000 miles is very impressive. You might be able to hit 150,000 miles and get warranty coverage. You must spend around $2000-$3000 just in tires. I'm jealous!!

Considering I am missing at least 2 months my 20000ish aint to shaby, 1500 on the KLR, and about 120 circles and swerves on training bikes X8, I should get in another thou or so next month.  Next year I should log in 40-50k, more trips to the property on the bike, two passes each way, why wouldnt a guy ride?

My guess would be less than 1K between two bikes due to health reasons, But, I'll make up for next season.

I bought my 2001 C-10 the middle of October 2009 and rode it until Dec 1 when Winter closed my riding season.
Mileage:  1559.1

March - Nov. 11, 2010.  First full season of riding and Nationals held in WI too!   Put her away for Winter after hydrolock scare. 
Mileage: 12302.70

April - present (Dec. ?, 2010)  Late start because of carb rebuild and valve replacements. $$$
Mileage: 10,451.80

Mostly commuter miles, 70 miles round-trip and I ride most of the time.

I only did about 4500 this year. Hopefully as the kids get older, the miles will increase.

I did my mileage tally from October 2010 to October 2011, since that is when I got my first street bike (at age 43).   That was my 1st year of street riding.  There's probably another 1,000 or so miles on a KTM 450exc dual sport and at least that many on a KTM 300xc.

From October 2010 to October 2011 I rode 32,539.  That mileage came from the odometer only.  I live in California where the weather is very nice most of the year.

On the following street bikes:

2009 CBR600rr - 2,300 miles (sold)
2010 BMW F650gs - 8,000 miles (sold)
2005 GSXR600 - 1,100 miles (sold)

2010 BMW R1200gs - 14,016 miles
2008 CBR1000rr - 3,804 miles
2002 Goldwing - 3,319 miles

I went through several bikes last year to get the ones that I really want.  I'm now seriously considering a sport touring bike to round out the stable!

Wow! That's a lot of riding. I wish I could do those miles myself. If only this pesky job didn't take up so much of my valuable time.

  Some of ya'll make me jealous or your don't have car/job :chugbeer: I only managed about 4900 with only 5 good trips-most on my 20 mile round trip commute. I almost hate riding to work as I see her in the parking lot and just wanna leave and take serious rides!!

Looks like it will end up being just a little over 10,000 miles.

About 4000.  That's my usual yearly average.  Bought my '09 C14 new this past January.   I only ride for fun, mostly on weekends, usually do one or two trips a year.  Went to the dragon this past spring. 

Hell, I only put about 10000 on my car.  Do most of ya'll not have jobs? ;)

I have a job but, I have 4 weeks vacation and a week of sick time.  Not including all the holiday's we have off.

A good part of my 48000 miles was a 160 mile round trip commute.  I rarely ever drive the car. 

100CCC - 4800
2 BBG's - 3000
2 SS1000 - 2000
Misc Rides with friends - 4200
Commute to work - 34000

Thats just the Concours, my wife and I ride the Nomad for camping and two up riding which came to 15000 so far this year. 

It's nice to live in Florida, you can ride year round.

Bad year for me. I rode 1600 miles on the Concours and 2200 on the Goldwing. Work keeps getting in the way of riding but I am taking care of this in June. June 1 is my official retirement date.
More time to ride. Wll be adding a golf cart to the stable also in The Villages, FL.

Ridden, how many miles have you ridden, not "rode."  Sorry, that's been bugging me for days.  ;D

I got in 500 miles on Monday. It was a beautiful day riding from Pittsburgh to Washington Dulles International Airport and back.
