How many miles did you ride your FJ this year?

[MOTOMYSZOR]

I did astonishing 700 miles.......  

For my defence I could just tell that I did front wheel and FZ1 rear swingarm and wheel mod - and that was time consuming......

[Mike Ramos]

Good evening Mr. C,

Well, I do not keep very accurate mileage logs, however I do have an invoice from the rear shock service dated April 20 of this year - almost exactly six months ago - that notes the mileage that time of 70,200.  The odometer at present reads 95,350 for a six month total of 25,150 miles. 

For the year (November to November) total, I believe it was last November when I rode to Texas, up through the Rockies and into Idaho and then to central California before heading home - perhaps another 7,000 miles or so. 

There would also be the Idaho ride (of which I wrote and posted), a visit to San Diego, went to Oregon as well... plus miscellaneous rides around far northern California.

So an estimate of 36,000 is perhaps reasonable.

All in good fun... !

Ride safe,

Midget

Just checked my service records on the computer and am now holding my head in shame. 12 month nearly to the day since my last oil change and I've only done 3217km, and that's with riding the bike to work every day.

This weekend I'll put a few hundred on it, but I really should get out more, we have the weather for it.

[Pat Conlon]

Thanks Michael. 

You are amazing.

Wow, now that's riding!

[Mark Olson]

Wow , that's why Ramos is " the road warrior " 

Great guy as well and rides like the wind. 

[FJ1100mjk]

There's always next year. 

No, there's not...   

Ride while you can.

I was able to get 280 more miles in today, but I'm about 99% sure that's it for me this year.

8,194 on my FJ plus 7,020 on my Honda CBF 250. The FJ won't do much more this year but the CBF is used year round.

I rode my usual and amazingly consistent mileage again this year.





Zero, Zip, Nada....

I can honestly state that in the 12 years I have been a member of this group I have never ridden a single mile on 'my' FJ. Even less before that.

Call me the anti-mike.

Okay, so what were your accumulated miles for this season (thus far), on your nonconformist iron steed(s)?

[FeralRdr]

Fellow nonconformist who did about 18,000 (so far) this year.

Sadly not many.

I really do not enjoy riding on the street as much as I did in the past and over the past few years my riding has been almost exclusively at the rallies. By a quick estimate I rode around 1300 miles at the fall rally this year and maybe another 200 miles around town. I was however able to wear out a new set of Dunlop Q3's (both front and rear) in those measly 1500 miles. 

Quality beats quantity every time.

The SV1000S I am riding these days if reasonably comfortable, handles OK, and has a fun motor. I may do a few mods over the winter to smooth it out a bit and get a bit more comfortable just to see if I can get the old interest in riding back, but if all I do is attend rallies, I am OK with that. It only takes a few miles to sharpen the old skills back up anyway.

I know what you mean about the interest. It ebbs and flows with me. I always come back to it though.

To get the quality, I have to do the quantity first. Any decent riding roads are a good bit of miles from home base for me. If you live in Northern Kentucky, I would think that good roads are at your doorstep. Good for you.

18,000, that's good for any nonconforming rider, or conforming rider, for that matter!

[Mike Ramos]

Gentlemen,

The desire for a good ride does not wax and wane yet remains constant, nor is the enjoyment & pleasure of a good ride lessoned; thus quantity and quality are not mutually exclusive and neither is the quality of the quantity lacking [and in fact almost never-ending on both points] as the panorama is constantly in flux...

Such is the good fortune to live & ride in the Western States and in particular the foothills of far Northern California.

Ride safe,

Midget.
