who rides the least (sad thread really)

[BuellyBagger]

I was just realizing how patheticly few miles I put on my bike. A measly 1865mi/year on average since I bought it.
So I wonder if any one rides less than I do?
Try not to count extended break down period in ur average...

I know, but in my defense I do have a five year old soon,a two year old daughter, and my wife is taking college classes...

I've had my Buell for three years and It has 6500 miles. Ooops, put 2,000 miles on the Triumph. So 8500 in three years.... YOU WIN

I don't ride a lot but when I do I put on a lot of miles. My bike often sits for weeks or months out of the year. I still usually manage to put on a couple thousand miles.

I ride it about 20 miles a day and maybe an hour or two on the weekend.... what kills me is my wife doesn't drive so if she wants to go somewhere I have to take my jeep.

 

[buellbradski]

Used to only rack on 1200 a year w/sportster but since I got the Buell I've been ridding around 3500

She won't ride with you?

Wow thought mine was pathetic i do about 4000 a year and I live I'm ND so im lucky if i get 6 good months to ride lol. Went for a ride to jiu jitsu with my 6 year old today was only 36° out.

i bought my bike last april and between May and November, i logged over 4,400 miles. I will admit that i've only put 66 miles on her since 2013 began though. Stupid Illinois weather :/

 

[greasyxb9s]

No she wont which is fine by me lol

 

[crawfo]

I only put 1100 miles on last year. Fewest miles I have put on a bike in 6 seasons. Hopefully this year isn't so busy.

 

[rah7777777]

Unfortunately I think I will win this one so far...
and I really wouldn't know if it weren't for an oil analysis I did last year.

18 months I rode about 1200 miles...... that is just sad :-(
I've had my Buell for almost 6 years and I've only put 13k on her.
My previous bike racked up 22k in 18 months.... But that's the difference in being single and not having a mortgage.
Now days the wife, daughter, house, XB Lights and regular day job keep me plenty busy...

 

[firefighter1c57]

Last miles I put on either Buell was May of 2012... So, none... and it's looking like it might remain none until about July...

 

[d_adams]

My 1125 is over 30k now since new, so 4.5 years, a little over 6k per year average I guess.

 

[agfish18]

I havent ridden it much lately because of a few life changes (baby on the way, selling our house, moving out, etc) I'd say I have only put maybe 500 miles on it since November last year.... BUT I do have about 30K miles on my 1125R that I have put on it since May of 2009 when I bought it. I put 12K on in the first year, but then I bought a second bike and it somewhat lessened the amount I rode it... not much, but a little. I recently sold that bike, so I will be putting the miles back on my bike soon I hope

 

[BuddhaBuell]

I live in ND so im lucky if i get 6 good months to ride lol.

I feel you there, being in the interior of BC I am able to ride from April til Oct, snow just melted off here but it is still freaking freezing at night and since I am up on a plateau I enjoy hella-cious coastal mountain winds early in the spring, what can you do tho.....

just ride
[smirk]

I do believe we have a few Buelllers up in Alaska, I think they as well as Buellers in northern Europe win the 'shortest riding season' title unfortunately

 

[2004xb12s]

Only about 1500 miles on the Buell a year and 1000 a year on the Supermoto. I dont think my mileage shows just how often I ride. Alot of time is spent on the supermoto just messing around in parking lots and around the city and that doesnt rack up a lot of miles. Also have a classic truck so that kind of pulls away from it too.

 

[50dro]

Yeah..I'm definitely on this list somewhere. I'd have to calculate it though. I live so close to work (not complaining) that when I do ride to work I only rack up 10-15 miles. Long weekend rides are more rare than I'd like unfortunately. Too busy making parts for you guys (among other things that keep me busy)!

 

[redwing]

I think I'm in the same boat. I realized recently that I'd only ridden my bike twice in the last couple months and that was once to work and once to a bike night for a total of about 30 miles.
Bought my Lightning last June and have about 1500 miles on it so far.
I've recently joined a very active riding group here in Austin though (Austin Sportbike Riders - ASR) so I'm hoping to ramp that up.
Like Bagger, I have two kiddos and a wife working full time and finishing her masters so there's always lots to do around the house and kid chauffeuring duties. Great, now I'm thinking about how much lawn work I have to do this weekend. Ugh.
