Thats keep'in it in the wind...
I average 12-15,000 per year. I've had the Ultra since Jan. 4th and have put 1500 miles on it so far. I'll ride anytime I get the chance and the threat of rain never stops me. I won't take off in the rain, but will always risk getting rained on. We bought 'um to ride 'um, right?

I am going to be close to 30K this year. Fortunately I live where I can ride year round and I conveniently have a 75 mile commute to work. If there isn't any ice on the road (in Alabama they close the state for that) I'll be out there.[&:]

I got my WG in Sept with 8300 on it... I just turned 14K.... so with an average over 1000 per month through the winter, I'm gonna guess about 20-25K annual.

I retired last year(55) and I thought I did quite a bit of riding. Only put on just over 8000 miles. Guess I must of done quite a bit of stopping too.

Usually I do at least 500 miles month year round. My SG is a lot more comfy, so this number may go up. But around 6 grand a year minimum.

Well, having **** retentive tendencies, been keeping a log/journal of rides and miles. The miles...

2001: 22,034

2002: 30,854

2003: 25,926

2004: 25,292

2005: 24,796

2006 To Date: 1,779

But it isn't the miles that count, it is the memories
