Less than 10,000 across 6-7 bikes. Sounds bad when you say it like that but no commuting in there and half of them struggle to crack 50mph.

3K to 5K

'89 NC30 all year round though I give snow (rare in Hampshire) and ice a miss.

I love a track day, what a bike to thrash

About 8,000 miles per year. I commute when its dry & do a good 100 + miles on either Saturday or Sunday, depending on weather. I've done this for probably the last 8 years.

I was doing about 6k a year fun/commute miles, until I threw it down the road last year frown

Plan to rectify that this year and put in as many miles as I can.

Somewhat disappointingly I did around 2000 miles last year, and probably around that a year since getting back into biking back in 2013.

I don’t really get any weekend riding because kids and family, I often commute to work in the summer, it’s all country lanes which is nice but potholes everywhere here in SE Kent are a constant nuisance, it’s about a 50 mile round trip but getting togged up in leathers can be a pain especially if I’m running late or if I need to train to town I don’t take the bike.

I do a camping trip to Wales every year for a long weekend and cover about 1200miles on my tourer, the rest is split between the other bikes which do around 300-500 miles a year lol. I’d like to do a bit more this year, we’ll see. I’d love to do a trip abroad to Spain but don’t have any riding buddies anymore and hard to get the time off work.

About 15k miles just commuting around the M6/A5, another few thousand on top for random rides and trips to see friends/family.

Around 7000-8000 miles a year now ... used to be double that but I can’t be bothered with bad weather these days. A bit of rain is fine, but if it’s pouring down I take the car or work from home.

Most of the NW crew pussy out these days riding so I don’t get out as much in Summer either anymore. Jazoli and Gavia being the exception.

30-40 laps of donington last year, that was it. In my defence though, I only bought the bike in September, did the trackday then the weather turned st.

Bit of a crap year really on the bike front

I managed probably between 2-3000. A mixture of commuting, 600 miles on the new bike and a few days trackwork
Ermmmmm, I thought the I was going senile for a minute then saw the full stop furious

Across road, track and Enduro probably 4000.

Really?

That's an average of 110 to 165 miles a day, every single day of the year. No time off for Christmas Day, holidays, sickness or bad weather.

Something like 25,000 to 30,000. 400 miles a week commuting then a couple of big wobbles around Europe somewhere of about 6,000 each.

Again, really?

Assuming your Euro trips are two weeks each then you'd need to average almost 430 miles a day, every day of the trip. Even three week trips would still have you averaging 286 miles per day, every day of your trip. That's a long hard day if you're not using motorways and if your Euro trips are 21 days of mostly motorway, they must be pretty damn boring.

You’re not going tomlike this, but I thought exactly the same when I was reading both those posts. However, I chose not to argue it with them wink

I neither like, dislike, or even care that you did/didn't chose to post in relation to those claims. Why would I? confused

Last year I did probably 10,000 miles commuting (commute is 18k a year so about half done in the car half on the bike) and probably 4000 fun miles including trackdays.

This year I'll probably do about 4,000 commuting and 4-5000 fun miles.
