The highlights of the 2012 season included, buying a new-to-me Wr250x, a road trip to Arkansas for an FJR rally, a trip to Oregon to meet some fellow bloggers, and my 14th annual trip to Sturgis and beyond. This year it included New Mexico and Arizona.
Starting mileage on the Zx-14 was 29,209...ending was 38,716 = 9514 mi(15,311 km)
FJR.... starting mileage was ....25,145....ending was 29,647 = 4502 mi(7,245 km)
Wr250x...starting mileage this spring when I brought it home, 1561, now 2442 = 881 mi(1418 km) for the year.
All totaled, that's 14,897 mi(23,974 km)on motorcycles for the year.
My riding buddy, John, is a bit more OCD than I am, and could document so much more information than I can. He could tell you not only how many miles, but also, how much gas, the high and low price for it, the average fuel price, the life time MPG, the high MPG, the low MPG, the total gas ever purchased... and so much more. The information is saved on his hard drive and a paper copy gets printed frequently!!! LOL
John, you know I kid you,...I wish I was that
Almost 15k miles, great job. If I include my commute I can probably rack up a third of what you did. Good for you, Erik! Keep on riding and for now Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and Happy Holidays-Merry Christmas to you and Roland!
DeleteNice job Erik, a healthy mix of miles, safely done. A repeat in '13 hopefully?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it!
DeleteWell said Erik... I am pleased that you shared so many of those miles with your OCD riding buddie.
ReplyDeleteI hope John gets a chuckle...
DeleteWow, that is a lot of miles ridden this year. Way to go.
ReplyDeleteI make it a habit not to track my miles per year so I am not disappointed when I see the total at the year end.
I do use fuelly.com so I can tell how many fuel ups, mpg (high and low), what I've paid for fuel (high and low) and probably mileage from it if I wanted to analyze it.
I do fuelly.com with my little Wr250. Unfortunately, I don't have many miles or tanks full through it yet.

ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed to mention my mileage, but I can tell you how many meals I've had, and where I had lunch on Friday, July 20th, 2012

I remember lunch on Friday.... I can't tell you the name of the restaurant, but I remember the short, feisty, pig-tailed waitress.

DeleteI think she "liked" me

Looks like all your motorcycles have been pretty well used this year. Do you already have plans for 2013? Where do you plan to bring all your motorcycles this coming year? I’d love to know about it.
ReplyDeleteWell ridden Erik - here's to just as many safe and happy miles in 2013. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. (And we all know that waitress was sweet on Bob :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen, and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
