HOw FAr did you ride this summer?

[fastpakr]

I've put almost 9k on the Vulcan since April. Unfortunately between a string of snowstorms and starting maintenance projects without getting back to them, it only got a few hundred miles from December through March. Hoping to do a bit better this Fall/Winter.

I think I did around 9000 this season. 7000 on the 1000G not counting the 2 trailer rides, and several weeks out for electrical rebuild. 2000 on the 850GL, I think, maybe not quite.

Some nice shots there Carter. I came back last week with the same bug situation. I had to stop twice along the trip to clean my visor/head light. When I got back people commented on how many bugs were on my visor and head light, but, that was only 1/3 of them. I was only gone a few hrs, about 400kms.

I turned over 8,000 kms this summer. Its been a good year. How about you? Here are a couple pics of some of the roads I traveled.

Katman,

I wanted to comment on your photos. This one in particular. Nice photo of the scene, nice photo of the road, nice photo of your bike. Nice photo of the scene and the bike and the road all in one shot.

I've clocked about 20 on it so far. It's my second GS that I just recently purchased, and I'll be on that road soon after a good tune-up this weekend; I really can't wait to burn a few on the odo.

Thanks Redman. I did set it up a little post card like didn't I. Wanted to get whole picture but you can't do it in a picture. Its been a great 6 months of riding.
What I am missing is the great shots from the ocean/moountain hwy vistas. Maybe next season I will post some of those.

man BC is pretty to bad they put it on the worng side of the continent.
I only put on 3k miles this yr but I am still driving and have two full months to go.

I spent half my summer wrenching, so I didn't put too many miles on - I don't know how many I turned. I still got some nice enjoyable rides in.

Yes, and we have the pictures to prove it.

Thanks again for your videos.

If you really want to count the trailer rides next season, you're going to have to invest in one of these:

by the way, these shots were taken with my iPone 3Gs, which doubles as my hands free phone and stereo while riding.

From June 19 to the 1st of October I've 4400 miles on my 650g. That's a good year for me. NW rally amd 5th Western States rally acounted for many of those miles. I'm hoping to go to the UK next year and do a bit of touring and maybe catch some mc races.

Just went to the garage and checked my maintenance log. It shows the bike had 28,580 miles on December 28 and now the odometer reads 44,453. So this year I have ridden 15,873 miles. Its always summer here. LOL

I think I rang up just under 10K this year. Kind of a down year. Last year was the same, but the year before I racked up 11000 miles on my 1100G in 3.5 months I think I did a total of 14K that year. Been a pretty crazy year for me, lot of down time between a crash, work, getting married, my mum passing and the like.. But still, it feels damn good to get away from it all when I can. Hope to do quite a bit more riding next year... we shall see.
BTW Rob, those are damn nice pics, but where are all the TWISTY roads?? A bike that gorgeous and adept should be seen carving it up somewhere

But Grasshopper, there is life between the curves, too.
