Right the girly miles has gone and its worried me a think a girls going to win this how many miles has anyone done this year can we beat 10000 miles on a 300cc by a female biker ????? eeek
Don't think the engine size really matters, most guys ride a larger cc bike anyway, there must be a fair few that commute every day and clock up big mileages.
Ha ha that's so me too steve lol. but where are all these people ? She rides to work and back every day then rides to see her hubby and back every weekend which is over a hundred miles trip . plus ride out . Gunna take some beating methinks
I was a despatch rider in London for 15 years, 1000 miles a week plus in all weathers. When you get through 40 quids worth of petrol in one day, in 1998, how many miles do you think that was in that one day?
At today's prices 40 quid won't equal that many miles, but back then it was a lot of fuel and a lot of miles done, in that one day. The 1200 Bandit I was using clocked up over 10000 miles in just under 3 months, then I destroyed it by ploughing into a taxi. If you wanna clock up big miles, then become a despatch rider. Then you get to the situation where you wonder if you own the bike or the bike owns you!!
The reason I remember how much petrol I went through was because it still makes me smile when I think about it, I cleared 240 quid that day after all my expenses. Not bad for a day's work you might think, apart from the fact that I got in at 11pm and I started at 8am. I was f*cking soaked all day and freezing cold. Yeah, it's great clocking up big mileage.
It wasn't 800 miles, lol. But it was more than I'd like to do ever again. Motorways aint fun when it's freezing cold and chucking it down.
While I was using that Bandit I went through 3 sets of tyres and 3 sets of brake pads in that time. The thing just went through money like Pete Doherty goes through smack.
Ha ha motorways don't know what they are on a bike its the LAW but I realise work is different when you have to get somewhere asap. rain and freezing rather be on a bus tbh lol Can understand the tyres and pads but that's just wear and tear its motorcycling expensive hobby lol
On average I went through between 600 and 700 quid a month using it for work. That's fuel, tyres, and brakes. I wouldn't say I was glad when I smashed it up, but my wallet was a lot happier.
