Well we have a gas mileage thread goin, thought we'd see how many folks are actually ridin these things, and how many garage queens we got on here.

[Fired00d]

Wow, that's awesome. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] How long have you had that ride again? You definitely are averaging some high miles/month. My bike will be 2 years old in July, and I only have 11,7?? on it, and majority (almost half) have been from trips. Wouldn't say that mines is a garage queen, but seems I would be working too much compared to your mileage.

36,000 on Elvis. It had 24,000 change when I bought it used on 8/24/05. Just shy of 12,0000 in 7 1/2 months. Not world class, but not too shabby either.

Picked it up just 12 days before before Spiderman got his RK....and it's just gettin to be ridin season around here.

Got to thinkin bout it the other day when we stopped by Battlefield HD, was lookin at a chit load of bikes in the parkin lot and mine and my friends '06 Ultra (with 5000+ miles since January) were covered in bugs on the front, the rest of the bikes were pristine clean.  Then I realized, we'd just finished about a 350 mile jaunt that day, with about 100 left on the way home, and most of these bikes rode a whole 20 miles to the dealership.

Not shabby at all, you in a warmer climate or ridin thru the winter???  I've got heated gear for the cold non-ice/snow days.

[SPIDERMAN]

Winter ??  What the hell is that. Ridin Season ? Yeah it starts at 12:01 AM January 1st and ends at 11:59PM December 31st.  We get two minutes a year down time. I live in SoCal Dude. You get double miles for any of the miles ridden when the ambient temp was below 40 degrees.

I just broke 3,000. I got the milky way the very end of December, 2005.

3,000 is pretty good, considering I can only ride it at night so it looks like all the paint matches!

Got my bike at the end of December 05.

[SPIDERMAN]

[highlight]Oh and I'd say atleast 1/2 if not 3/4 of my miles it was below 40*.   [/highlight]

  My hats off to you Freight  I lived in Maine for 44 years and used to do some real rough sleddin to get my annual fix in.

163 miles on mine as of today! (Well, I only got it this week!) - but it won't be a garage queen. I've got about 42000 in 5 years (and our winters are LONG and you can't ride!) on the previous bikes.

Saw where you finally got out on it Jim, thats great....get some miles on that pig.

I've been riding for about 7yrs now, my 2nd bike, I sold it with 42,000 on the odo, it was a year and a half old.  My first bike had 32,000 on it when I sold it.  Heck my '04 Ultra had 29,000 on it when I traded it in last August.  I spend a small fortune in gas....  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]
