Only 250 miles up in Michigan. I usually wait until it rains a few times to wash the salt off the roads....call me a pre-maddona I just hate to pay that much and put that much $ into a bike and in 5 years start having rust show up.

It has been seriously cold around 5 AM, that's dedication!

I'm from north western Illinois and I ride all winter. So from Jan. 1st to date I have well over 12,000 miles.

Winter miles from Nov. 1 14 to March 31 15 was 9,700+ miles.

I have bikes to ride not look out the window and wait for fair weather.

Default How far so far?

What do you keep track to show everyone what a "real biker" you are? Because I never keep track of my mileage. I could care less as long as I am riding. Couldn't even tell you the current mileage on my bike or car for that matter. I don't concern myself with trying to impress others, especially on a forum on the web.
