I swapped out speedos, so by figuring out the tires I wore out this year and the mileage on them, along with a little over 6k on this tire... somewhere in the neighborhood of 24-25k miles I guess.

Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

I haven't put that many miles on my Blazer in 3 years!!!!
I put a total of about 4k miles on my MNS in 2009. I commute to work, and ride most days, unless the roads are icy, or it's REALLY raining, but I only commute 1.3 miles to work each way. My longest trip was to Kansas City and back, but in 2010, I hope to make the MOTM trip to TX. Here's to many more miles in the future!!

Only about 4,000 to 5,000 miles. The first good month of the riding season I was doing repairs (valve clearances, steering head bearings, tires, wheel bearings, etc). Hopefully 2010 will bring more miles if I get my lack of power/oil consumption problem fixed.

Well only a measly 380km, it was a very crapy set of events - I bought the XS1100 in super early spring - already sold XS650 & then had to get a bore out kit due to no compression. Took till middle of Oct. to get it fixed & back then broke in & drove twice to work - daylight savings time changed so parked bike for winter - no drive at night - too many deer. But wait till April! Normally do over 10,000/yr. - Dan

Had the pleasure of the Maritimes for 6 weeks of work, but took the XS11G instead of a cage or rental, when added to XS East, XS North and many other rides just for the pleasure of it, total was just about 21,000km or about 12,500 miles.
