Default How much do you ride?
lots of rolling JC Whitney catalogs on wheels on here, but how many miles are you riding them.
I ride 10-15k a year.

I ride about 9-10K a year. Weekends mostly because I have to take too much crap too work with me.

Ain't nuthin from JC whitney on my bike though.

Ride just over 10K per year.
Mostly commute to and from work, with occasional side trips.
Don't seem to mind going in to work so much.... really enjoy the ride.

15K a year on average. Sure doesn't seem like enough.

I don't.
It sits in the garage.
It's on 24 hour watch.
I hired a crew.
One speck of dust gets on it, they immediately wipe it off!

JC Whitney sells motorcycle parts?
Who'da think!


Now, to legitimately answer your question...
In 2006, I rode it one day and it set on the lift 2 months getting all dolled up.
In 2007 it was down almost 3 months getting a motor build.
My scoot was down 8 months in 2008 getting gussied up...again.
So actually, it's only 2 years old.
23,000 some odd miles.
How's that for a JC Whitney scoot?
