On the current scoot - 3500km during May and June. It is winter here right now, so a little limited, but wait till summer.
On all scoots - I estimate about 250,000km

Number of posts are on the left

You mean I need to ride to post? I thought just having a garage decoration qualified me to post! Damn, screwed again. I guess I'll go ride 5,000 miles tonight to catch up. See you all later. Got some catching up to do.

Bought the Low Rider on 10/15/05, joined here a month later. Since the I've posted ~64 times, and have put 17,000 miles on the bike. That's a post/mileage ratio of .004:1

13,858 miles on the bike. Had it 1 year and 1 week.
407 posts. Joined 1 year & 15 days ago.

Looks like a 34 mile per/mile post average or about 2 posts for every hour of riding. Crappy weather from November to March really hurt my average.

A little over 6,000 miles in the last year. I don't get to take any long trips anymore. Working 6 days per week I only ride while going to work. Sunday rides every once in a while. If I had some more days off I would be over 10,000 easily.

ORIGINAL: Mrkicks

I'm curious. how many posts vs. how many miles you have on your bike. I'm really can't wait to see some of our Power Posters numbers.

Mine 4700 (bought bike on 8/4/05) vs. 932 posts. So basically I ride 5 times more than I post. How about you?
4700 miles in 11 months??? You need to ride more...

for me 3300 miles since 4/27/06,
<<<<<<,# of posts over there
