2018 Mileage Tracking Thread

[Max Wedge]

Just because. A place to track it.

Starting this year with 79,151 on the ol' GS.

[oilhed]

2001 BMW R1150GS - 28,489 (might be for sale soon)

2009 BMW K1200LT(runkless) - 26,779

[Cablebandit]

I'm going to put down 0.


Now I can feel great aboot myself at year end.

In that case I’d have to start with a negative number

[sleazy rider]

ST1300 - 111,067
MTS620 - 28,605

[Jay547]

2015 Yamaha FJ-09 - 24,760

2009 Suzuki DR650 - 14,615

[doc4216]

Even though I am not currently in the same state as my motorcycle, I am starting at 26,179. Mid February I will begin to add more to that. This blows

[melville]

52035 on the Airhead to start.

New bike?

^^^^ I am guess zero because it is fucking cold here in Pa. I am also at zero for this year so far. But, hopefully that will change soon.

That's the spirit!~ even 1 mile is progress!

[sodapop6620]

It is 24 degrees roght now but there is the freezing rain t contend with. Damn, I am full of excuses not to ride. 

[Cookie]

2' of snow on top of 2" of ice for three first 25' of the driveway just outside the garage door with about 175' more before the road with 3" of packed snow in it with still another 800' to the barely plowed drift covered main road.

Remind me in April.

[Black Hills]

300XC-w.  70hrs.
1190.  26,600
TLR200.  1,807

I already have 61 on the 1190 for this year 

[Andrew]

After filling up my trusty Cinnamon Girl, on the first of the year, she has 261 miles on the trip odometer today.

[CLAY]

Bandit:  59784
XR650:  8800

[kneescrubber]

Don't know the mileage on the bike but rode the VFR .2 miles last Saturday to a new storage unit. Without a license plate. 

[smoker]

35,059

[garry]

I keep track in a spreadsheet, but the two bikes currently have:

KTM 1190 Adv - 28,570 miles
KTM 530 EXC - 10,520 miles (326 hours)

My goal for 2018 is 10K miles on the 1190 (no big trips planned) and 100 hours on the 530. Lots of mixed surface, dirt roads, and trail riding in those numbers. The rear tire bill on the 1190 is going to be huge running TKC80s (or equiv). Could be the last season for both bikes if the upcoming Yamaha T7 or KTM 790 Adv are as good as they appear to be.

[biking sailor]

OK, so over the flu and weather isn't sucking and a good day to ride and do a bit of maintenance. And record mileage from start of the year.

Mine:
2015 FJR 32,117
2007 R1200GS - 41,888
2010 WR250X - 9,080
2004 Thruxton - 24,560

Wife's:
2014 CB500X - 17,950
2015 FJ-09 - 22,575

[motociclista]

You guys have inspired me.

In four decades of riding, I have never tracked my mileage, beyond writing down mileage of maintenance tasks in my maintenance log. But I really have no idea how many miles I've ridden lifetime, not only because I never tracked the mileage on my personal bikes, but also because there were a few years I put more miles on test and loaner bikes than I did on my own.

So this year I created a spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12OSrykLUMx6kRdy2PvUxohpqAitlA2Oxn7NuEyIBbvE/edit?usp=sharing) and I'm going to track every mile I ride on two wheels. I'm hoping it will be an above-average year for me in terms of riding, but so far it's off to a snowed-in start.

For the record, here's the starting point on my personal bikes:

1997 Triumph Speed Triple     105,589
2009 Kawasaki Versys 650     80,108
2006 Triumph Daytona 675     15,450

[Max Wedge]

That is what this thread is all about.

GS & LT

[Max Wedge]

Only a measly 5,301 miles this year. 84,452 on her now, and I think my season is done. Haven't done that few since my return to riding with my FZ6. Personal challenges have conspired with a crappy commute, but I plan to change that in 2019. I did enjoy every mile.

[sodapop6620]

Don't forget about the RAIN this past year. I think that cut into everyones riding.

Not sure how many miles I did this year but I did blow up the engine on the DR650. So I have that going for me.

I did put 100 miles on the ZRX so far this year.

OK, 4010 miles this year.  None since 29 June, when I got back from Montana.

The heads came off the bike a couple days later and my guy says they're nearly done.   

Maybe a couple hundred more by the end of the year if I get the heads back.  Just enough to get to the retorque and then the bike will mostly hibernate while I play with the R100/7 that entered my world last week.

Did you post pics of that yet?

[PatM]

My season was cut short on Nov 13. It's been mostly below freezing and my street is covered in ice. 
I got 25K km here and over the pond.

On the right:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The last registration expired in 1988.     Dual plug heads and some San Jose BMW chassis parts!

I'm going to reanimate it and move it along for funds to fix up the RS (last registered 1985!) parked next to it.  The other bike is an R75/6 that came as part of the deal.  It's going to give up some parts to the RS and my existing /6 but may someday be a cafe or trackday special.

Thanks Clay, now I don't feel sop bad.

That RS is cool. I would love to find something like that. Are you keeping the windjammer on the other one?

I'm favoring keeping the RS and moving the /7 on.  The next owner can keep the fairing or not.  Springtime, hopefully.

[bungie4]

Started the season at 59518km
Ended at  71897km

= 12379km / 7692mi

Not great, but at least a couple thousand more than the past few years and I missed the biggest trip of the year (Eastern Owners Meet) because I started a new job and had 0 vacay time.
Next year will likely be similar as my big trip (Yosemite) I'll be hauling in a van.

[biking sailor]

I'm not done yet!   

[motociclista]

I'm not done yet!   

Me either, though realistically I'm not going to rack up many more miles with one (the garage queen) in winter storage, one with a punctured rear tire awaiting repair and one in service.

[sodapop6620]

The weather guess has Friday at 60 degrees!  But 80% precip. The rest 9f the holday weekend will be low 40s and partially clear.

So that is maybe I will get out on Saturday and Christmas day.

[Andrew]

I have little to add to this thread, it can be summed up in just one word

ABYSMAL   ,     

my lowest millage in the last 20 years 

[Black Hills]

pretty disappointing:

last year:                   today:                 pathetic total:
300XC-w.  70hrs.         88.5                       18.5
1190.  26,600              29,363                   2,763
TLR200.  1,807            1,832                          25
Superduke   0               2,587                    2,587

I can honestly say I spent more time working on the TLR than riding it. hopefully 2019 is better...

[bungie4]

I'm detecting a trend here.

I"ve pretty much accepted I"m never gonna be riding my past average of about 20K per year.  I'm good with that, as I'm getting older I'm looking forward to doing, and traveling with, a van conversion. I'll likely sell the FJR for something I can easily store on a tow rack... scooter/trail bike/Versys 300.

[sodapop6620]

I believe there are 26 miles on this bike. I will attempt to change that this weekend.

[doc4216]

I have one more weekend left and I am not reading to finalize my mileage yet but I did not meet my goal. New position at work, life, and a commute of 4.8 miles round trip just did not leave much room for contributing to the odometer.

[Vulcanbill]

I like how the tie down straps look like Christmas ribbon when zip tied.  Coincidence??  I think not. 

[Vulcanbill]

I have put more miles on my 790 Adventure R in my head than I have put on my XT250 IRL.

I didn't want them hitting the new paint.

Anyway I put 300 miles on the V1k.

[melville]

Got a few miles in today.  Probably more on Thursday.  Not final yet!

[Jay547]

Still riding here. I rode Sunday, Monday, and today. Will ride again this coming weekend too.
