FabSwingers.com forum: How many this year?

Aaand you thought this was the wrong forum huh? Finger slipped?

One of the best journalistic ideas of recent years was MCN RIDE 5000. So how many miles have you done on a bike this year? Sharp and blunt end combined as this is a role unbiased survey.

Feel free to answer now if baby is already tucked up for the winter with ethanol free/no fuel and a trickle charge. Otherwise get out there and do your duty!

The catch? The last person to post on this thread at 1.3.25 has to collate the stats. If it happens to be us please send us a reminder;-)

We average 8000 miles a year, between rallies here and in the USA.

Sturgis next year should be around 5000 miles alone plus, the rally milage we clock up here.

Get it done, only here once.

4,900 ourselves including a horrid wet 30 this morning!

The average to date (mental maths) is about 3,050 including some regretting zeros and some unassuming heros🤗.

Well done all and happy Christmas bikers!

I have done about 200 miles this year, in my defence I only got the bike in October. That number will increase next year as it is my sole mode of transport, as I start a new job and get rid of the company car.

Sorry, but are you saying you only do 3000 miles a year? And some years you haven't done any?
