About 16000 for '13. I don't commute on it and we don't ride around town. A guy that rides to work everyday and sits in traffic is a hell of a lot tougher than me, but I have done 750 for lunch in Corpus huh Nitrochicken??

31,673 for 2013. I thought that I would go past 32K but the frigid end of Nov. and cold wave continuing through Dec. Ended that. Still possible next week with a somewhat better forecast.
The miles are spread over 13 bikes. Did Two Canadian Provence's and seven states. This was the biggest year for local riding.
I generally plan for 30K a year. If I don't ride my wife starts wondering out loud the reason for the bikes.
4K was on an 11 XL1200L with 2K the round trip to Sturgis. 3K was on the Vrod. The XR1200, Ulysses,Deuce,Fxstc, Superglide and Street Bob accounted for 10K. The balance was on 4 touring bikes and the Ural. I know I know it is a tough job but someone has to do it.

Yeah, and just think of the insurance cost not to mention the garage costs for 13 bikes.
I did less than 10K this year, but I ride mine almost everyday to/from work, about 60 miles round trip.

Logged about 3,500 miles since May when I picked up my bike. Some of you are some serious riders, damn.

I did about 7K on the Island this year. The 3k on my Brother's RK, mostly on the PCH probably gave me the most "Smiles per Mile". As someone already said - All miles aren't created equal. We rode hard for 8 days through endless twisties just to get 2k on PCH. I rode another 1k locally in Oregon the week before we hit PCH. My Brother gets here tomorrow for 10 days so we will be gettin some more Island miles before the end of the year.

right at 20k this year...california for the winternationals, daytona for bike week, two trips to springfield to the race(rained out first time), colorado, utah. at 65, the bike sits for a couple of weeks after a trip before i even feel like riding around the block.
there are 5 states that i have not ridden a bike in, and the plan is to make them all next summer. wisconsin, minnesota, north dakota, washington, and oregon will give me the lower 48.
hell, a good part of the miles on my bike is just getting from south texas to the state line.
