Default Keyboard Cowboy's

I guess I am one.

I have only put 6,170 miles total on my SG in the last two years. I think that I spend to much time on my Keyboard and not enough time on the road.

Well...Are you one?

Be honest now....How many mile's have you logged in the last two years?

What's the connection to miles ridden? Hate to think I could have ridden 5 miles more last year and avoided being labeled.
Can someone be a keyboard cowboy and still ride a lot of miles. Is someone who doesn't ride much at all automatically a keyboard cowboy?

About 10K... Considering I live in the North East and have a somewhat limited riding season. By the time I get home, its late, and seeing I have my kids every other weekend, I would say thats pretty good on a limited riding schedule.

Have logged 106,944 miles on my 2007 Ultra. I don't get to ride as much as our friends in the South, with all their nice weather.
