I have normally done between 10k to 12k each year, yet this last 12 months I have only done around 4k. I must be getting lazy to go out on my european trips.  :mfr_lol:

Now I am doing NEG, that should increase  :yes:

What is everyone else's average milage per year?

Bike almost 5 years old purchased new by me, just tripped to 26k miles, so just over 5k a year for me, BUT that was with me using it for work, now retired it will drop right down.

4K miles in 2 months of owning the bike but that includes a holiday to Black Forest, I usually average about 12k a year as its my only form of transport

I think I'm down to what Debs is doing these days.  I'm getting older, don't like the heat, don't like the cold, don't like drenching rains, starting to hurt on the longer rides.  I really think my days of riding are winding down.  I am driving my truck more, though.  I do like that.  I'm not even contemplating not riding at all, it's just I don't do it as much.  Used to ride into Ohio every year but didn't last year and won't this year.  Instead I'm driving with the wife.  We stop at more places and enjoy things more.

I covered about 8000 last year, got my new GTR in February and its only done 2800 so far, I too seem to do less longer distance runs these days

Same as me Rik.. My baby is my only form of transport.

I have been around Europe twice on my own, to Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany & France.

It's now become a bit boring as no one else to share the experience with. Yes it's nice to not have to wait for others and can do what I want, but i end up twiddling my thumbs when I stop en route.

I would love to head further east.. Get over to Russia and meet up with the GTR guys there, but no way will I go on my own. Already planned that trip too.  :yes:

I did have a trip planned, which should have happened this year.. South of France - Corsica - Sicily - Italy - Switzerland then home. Just don't seem to have the get up and go anymore. Well not on my own anyway..  :no:

I cover around 7,000 miles per annum between the "new" bike (Versys, GTR, BMW or whatever I own at the time) and the two "old" bikes that I keep on the road with it. This might change now that I have more time, having decided to retire a few years early.

O.C.

surely you're too young to retire Colin    :smiley:

Being a man of leisure now I really should get out more on the bike, tour planned in September to Northern Spain, would like to go down and do the Croatian coast, two dogs to consider though.
