since passing my test >> 23 miles
( and nearly did not make it home as i was stung by a bee/hornet and went in to toxic shock , could not see the handle bars let alone road ......... )
Not done that many on the gixer thou so far, about 2000, in two months, but on my old foxeye Blade it went to France twice, all over the UK too variuos race meets etc, & did (as i recall) about 14k in 2 1/2 years,
Have to laugh... I did 6 miles on mine before he failed the MOT... If I'd hav known I'd hav gone the scenic route! Pick him up all fixed on Thursday then I'll see how many miles I can rack up in my 3 weeks off LOL
I put about 13 thou on my 125 and I am putting about a thou a month on my 600 Hornet. Think I am going to keep this one a couple of years so maybe put 15 thou on before getting rid.
I need ideas guys please nicely.... Riding from colne to fulham on Friday to posh it up for a few days with my kid brother and staying there until wed morning.... Want to then go to my honorary kid sister's (daughters sisters mum) nr Bideford in Devon at some point as both her and hubby (my old school mate) want to cast their rather expert eyes over Harry and either slap me or take the piss fir a few days.... As I have 3 weeks holiday to occupy myself could do with suggestions on how to fill my time LOL like local rideouts or rallies on the way etc as I'm clueless :-) all suggestions welcome except rude or daft ones :-)
just 8000 in 11 weeks
(actually a day short but whos counting)
and too many of these in the rain!
scotland this week and next 2 consecative ones to far north west
should keep up the average,
but a little bird tells me we are expecting winter mid october?
:-((
not keen on snow and fog and bikes,
yes i am getting too old for this!
just over 21500 in a year and a half on play bike run another bike for commuting5000ish miles since febuary, last commuter 50500ish before it got ritten off.
Jeez, i think i work to much and not through the lack of trying get in enough riding,
Since may/June i've managed to get off almost every Sunday, and even using the bike for work on some days and i still feel like i've not been out enough, and i'm missing out...
I work in the bike industry, and it always amazes me how many people i talk to that spent most weeks of the year off on a hoon somewhere lucky bar ds, i'm not at all envious..... much !!
Don't these people work !!!!!!
