15,000 plus per season.
Not bad considering that I work 50 to 60 hours a week and live in New England.

im guessing when i retire ill put on more per year. 7k a year 36 mile round trip to work everyday 6 days a week and ride almost every weekend but mostly 200 mile trips here and there on weekends. work 60 hrs a week so 7k a year is pretty good for me. retire in 7 yrs. then ill start clicking off the miles. some of you guys are iron men. dam.

I live in Maine,(10 months of Winter and 2 Months of bad snowmobiling),,,,, ;-)

Usually manage 10-12K per year but I started riding the new Ultra the end of March and it has 5,000 on it already, so I'm optimistic about getting to ride more!

In 4 years, I put 30k on. Mostly dependent on Weather, in WI. Some years the roads are clear in March, sometimes, not until May. In the fall, I can't commute, because it is dark when I get out of work, too many deer hopping around.

I know there are a lot of days like today, 47degrees, windy and overcast, where I am the only bike around. So I don't feel the need to explain my miles. I don't get any paid vacation, so most of my trips are 1-3 days. If I was retired I would put a lot more miles on.
