Default It feels good.

I just renewed the license on my truck. I checked the mileage from a year ago and am proud to say I put way more miles on the bike. What a great feeling!

Same here. Put 10K on the bike and only 7K on the car. And that's with not being able to ride year around. You know you're gonna get some responses from those in the south that say "So what's so unusual about that?". We know.

My first winter in Utah, first time I had ever shoveled snow, and was still able to ride a few times a month during the cold. Didn't put as many miles on the bike as the car, but the car made the drive from the east coast during the move so it had a head start.

Yeah, in the past 18 months I have but about 23k miles on my Electra. Maybe 15-20k on my SUV. The only reason for the SUV high mileage is I have to drive it for trips when my girlfriend and my son are going along! Can't wait until she gets her own bike (soon I hope) and then we can all ride!
