724 miles since Wednesday July 25th when I picked it up. All cruising, I can't carry a welder on the back of my bike so I don't use it for commuting

Probably about 150 miles a week to work and back - unless the trip home ends up being 35 miles instead of 15!!! I try to get in at least a hundred or so miles in each weekend as well. Today I just did 25 miles to work and back followed up by about 80 miles round trip to a lake for the afternoon. I try to ride year round as long as the weather permits.

I just got mine so I haven't racked up the miles like some of you but I will be a 400 mile per week commute. It rained all week last week, so I finally said oh well and rode in it anyway for two of the days. It just feels great to be back on a bike again!

Min. 200 a week to work and back, so usually more than that.

Hard to come up with an 'average' number of miles per week, as my riding can really vary from week to week.

During the past week and a half I've ridden around 1,200 miles, but it might only be 500 during the next week or so.

I don't 'work for the man', no commute back and forth to work, but I have other obligations which really rack up the miles.

I average around 25,000 miles a year, and in my case an average number of miles each year would make much more sense than doing the average number of miles each week.

I just gave this a bit of thought... to and from work, plus tooling around on the weekends I put approximately 200 miles a week on her.
