Post by Shotaway »

Just picked up my new Black RR, just out of interest who has the highest mileage?

I don't think I'll win... but i've got 17,000km (10,500mi) on in 11 months, averaging 1,545km (960mi) per month.

But, being up here in Canada most of that is through snow (just kidding, sort of).

I almost ashamed to confess that I've only ridden mine 21,000km (13,000mi) in two years
... especially since I rode 4,500km (2,800mi) in the first week.

Still, another 3,000km next week and aother 2,500km to the MotoGP will help my mojo.

At least these are all touring miles, and mostly done in bunches of ~700km days ... outback queensland, snowy mountains, northern NSW / Byron bay(twice), Phillip Island Motogp (to, not in the races!), plus some good ~600km day runs outta Sydney.

Recently, probably a month ago I estimated a 72miles per day average since I own my R.

So ! I bought my bike of the 6 or 7 February 2009 and I am now at 11300 miles...soon good for my 12K service.

Which equal to this daily millage radius over Los Angeles county

For statistical purposes, we absolutely need to know what speeds the tickets were issued for :-k

Your insurance company must love you.

Clocked at 62 in a 35 on Mulholland #-o but the nice officer wrote me up for exceeding 55 in a 35 so I'd be eligible for traffic school.
